Job description: We're looking for engineers with hands-on operational experience in large Cisco enterprise environments who can contribute with minimal ramp-up time.
Our current environment includes: - Cisco Software-Defined Access (SDA)
- Cisco Catalyst Center (DNA Center)
- Cisco Identity Services Engine (Client)
- Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controllers
- Cisco Catalyst 9130/916x Access Points
- High-density enterprise and healthcare wireless
- Cisco Nexus data center technologies, including VXLAN/EVPN and Nexus Dashboard (NDFC)
- Cisco routing and switching
- Cisco Secure Firewall technologies
- Azure connectivity (ExpressRoute) and hybrid networking
- ServiceNow change, incident, and operational workflows
From an experience perspective, we're looking for candidates who can demonstrate real-world operational ownership-not just exposure. Strong candidates should be comfortable discussing topics such as: - Troubleshooting Cisco SDA fabrics and Catalyst Center
- Cisco Client authentication, authorization, profiling, and endpoint onboarding
- Enterprise wireless troubleshooting, RF optimization, roaming, and client performance
- Routing protocols including BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP
- Data center networking using VXLAN/EVPN
- Large-scale Cisco switching and routing
- Incident response and root cause analysis in a production environment
- Working in a 24x7 operational support model with on-call responsibilities
Candidates whose experience is primarily limited to traditional routing and switching, data center deployments, or configuration work-without hands-on experience supporting SDA, Catalyst Center, Client, and enterprise wireless-typically are not the right fit for this role.
Healthcare experience is certainly a plus, but it isn't required. What's most important is experience supporting large, always-on Cisco enterprise environments where uptime, operational excellence, and troubleshooting are critical.
