- Troubleshoot and resolve advanced WAN connectivity and performance issues across hybrid environments
- Collaborate with architecture, operations, and implementation teams to ensure seamless rollout execution
- Provide technical and design guidance to junior engineers and implementation partners
- Document network design decisions, rollout progress, configuration updates, and technical findings
What We’re Looking For:
- 7+ years of hands-on network engineering experience in large-scale enterprise environments
- Proven network design and architecture experience (preferably in distributed or multi-site environments)
- Deep expertise in Viptela SD-WAN (design, configuration, and troubleshooting)
- Strong proficiency with Cisco IOS-XE routing and switching
- In-depth understanding of WAN architectures, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), and network performance optimization
- Demonstrated ability to lead network design validation and execute implementation with minimal supervision
- Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills
- Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently in a remote setup
Nice to Have:
- Experience leading large-scale or multi-site network design and upgrade projects
- Background in retail or other distributed enterprise environments
- Certifications such as CCNP Enterprise, CCIE, or Cisco SD-WAN certifications
- Familiarity with network automation/orchestration tools (e.g., Ansible, Python, DNA Center)
Project Details:
- Contract length: 3 months (with potential extension based on project scope and performance)
