Lead and execute infrastructure rollout efforts across global POPs, data centers, and the backbone network
Operate a dedicated lab and test environment to validate hardware platforms, configurations, and automation tooling
Partner with network engineers and vendors to investigate platform issues, manage support escalations, track defects, and document resolution paths.
Collaborate cross-functionally to support network scalability, compliance, and operational consistency
Contribute to runbooks, process documentation, and operational procedures for network changes and lifecycle management activities
Requirements
3+ years of experience in a production network environment with a focus on operational execution
Hands-on experience with networking platforms such as Juniper, Cisco, Arista, or similar vendors.
Proficiency in core networking protocols such as BGP, OSPF/ISIS, and IPv4/IPv6
Solid understanding of large-scale network operations, including executing network change operations, software upgrades, maintenance windows, and production rollout procedures.
Demonstrated ability to manage vendor escalations and coordinate support resolution
Preferred Skills
Strong organizational and execution skills with attention to detail in structured change workflows
Effective cross-functional communication and collaboration skills
