• Develop documentation and diagrams supporting Standard Operating Procedure documents.
• Establish enterprise data network standards taking into account various in‑flight initiatives.
• Manage medium to large scale public and private IP address schemes.
• Work with team members and peer groups to ensure the security, availability, resiliency, and compliance with industry and regulatory requirements (ISO, SOC 1/2, FedRamp, PCI) in a fast‑paced SaaS environment.
• Provide thorough understanding of network security aspects, common problems and solutions (ACL, firewall filtering, and VPN).

Qualifications

Ideal candidate will have:

• In-depth knowledge and understanding of TCP/IP protocols, IP Addressing, DHCP, NAT, MPLS, VPN, VLANs, load balancing, and wireless technologies.
• Proven experience delivering network services and solutions in a mid‑size or larger enterprise.
• CCNA level experience is required; CCNP certification or higher is preferred.
• 5–8 years of network engineering in a datacenter environment.
• Experience with network change management control tools and policies.
• In-depth knowledge of OSPF and BGP routing protocols.
• Hands‑on experience with L2/L3 switching on enterprise class hardware, including Arista, Cisco, Juniper, and Brocade switches and routers.
• Experience securing network environments with Palo Alto and Juniper firewalls.
• F5 and A10 load balancer configuration and design principals.
• Extensive experience building scalable, highly available, mission‑critical network infrastructures.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills; team leader, team player, dependable and flexible.
• Deep analytical, interpersonal, organizational, communication, problem‑solving skills.
• Security compliance experience as it relates to the network.
• Demonstrated commitment to valuing diversity and contributing to an inclusive working and learning environment.
