  • Own and project manage global network initiatives from requirements gathering, design review, implementation, deployment and documentation
  • Contribute to the documentation of network processes, systems, and configurations
  • Collaborate with systems teams to build and manage manage datacenter infrastructure
  • Maintain network security infrastructure to ensure perimeter protection and that internal environments remain appropriately separated

What we’re looking for: 

  • Previous experience working on complex, high performance networks at a global scale
  • Demonstrable experience implementing complex projects from initiation through production handover
  • Experience with point to point low latency wireless networks and knowledge of RF principles
  • Passionate about troubleshooting and getting to the root cause of incidents
  • Be experienced with net-ops tools for configuration management, and network monitoring and analysis
  • Experience with Cisco, Arista, and/or Juniper hardware and the associated network operating systems
  •  Experience working with high performance networking fabrics or matrix switches
  • Experience with optical tap and packet capture infrastructure
  • Deep knowledge of multicast networking and configuration
  • Strong working knowledge of Linux
  • Scripting skills in python to automate tasks and perform analysis
  • CCIE level knowledge and experience
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; experience collaborating in global teams

What we offer:
