  • Correlate network and infrastructure signals to assess customer impact and enable safe automated responses.
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and optimize capacity, resource utilization, routing convergence, and behavior under heavy load.
  • Architect and build highly available, fault-tolerant systems with state management, replication, automated failover, and recovery.
  • Define service-level objectives, operational KPIs, telemetry, monitoring, and alerting for service health and routing outcomes.
  • Establish simulation, scale testing, phased migrations, in-service upgrades, verification, and rollback practices.
  • Lead production troubleshooting, incident response, and root-cause analysis while establishing runbooks and reliability improvements.
  • Integrate security controls, auditability, infrastructure as code, automated deployment, patching, and lifecycle management.
  • Contribute production-quality code, review designs and implementations, and maintain architecture and operational documentation.
  • Partner with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to define technical strategy and deliver initiatives.
  • Mentor senior engineers, influence architectural direction, and promote technical leadership, hiring, and knowledge sharing.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10+ years of relevant experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems, network control planes, or network automation platforms.
  • Strong Linux systems and networking knowledge, including containers, process and memory behavior, network namespaces, resource isolation, and packet-level troubleshooting.
