• 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)
• Work setup: Fully remote
