  • Identifies and assesses complex risks in network design before deployment, recommending mitigations.
  • Collaborates with vendors and internal groups (e.g., quality assurance) to ensure hardware, firmware, software, and cloud network code.
  • Designs playbooks for investigations to resolve common issues related to network areas.
  • Analyzes network workflows and proposes optimizations to enhance performance and efficiency.


Automation and Scripting:
  • Experience with network automation using Python, Ansible, Terraform, APIs, Git, and CI/CD.
  • Experience with capacity planning, hardware-resource/TCAM analysis, and large-scale routing-table design.
  • Can partner with NW automation teams to design and develop NW modeling and configuration rendering solutions, to be able to review configuration diffs and mitigate configuration issues on NW switches.
  • Designs and builds advanced modules within automation frameworks to support testing, operations, and service reliability across multiple environments.
  • Automates high-impact network tasks for production and lab environments, and optimizes repetitive, cross-team workflows to improve operational efficiency.
  • Develops and maintains advanced dashboards, telemetry tools, and alerting systems to enable proactive monitoring and faster issue resolution.
  • Writes, enhances, and documents reusable scripts that streamline routine network operations across teams and product domains.
  • Modifies and extends infrastructure pipelines and configuration management tools to meet evolving requirements using existing playbooks and custom logic.
  • Independently configures and extends tools to support new products or services, ensuring alignment with platform standards and integration best practices.


Testing and Quality Assurance:
  • Designs and develops advanced test strategies and reusable test cases that validate complex network systems and enhance long-term network integrity and reliability, including testing network features in lab environment and rolling it out in production.
  • Leads team-level test practices and cross-functional collaboration, helping define robust testing protocols and ensuring consistency in execution across environments.
  • Implements and refines post-incident validation methods, integrating break-fix outcomes and lessons learned into continuous test improvements.
  • Reviews and approves L1 and L2 network changes, and presents high-impact changes to cross-team change management boards, ensuring risks are understood and mitigated.
  • Partners with cross-functional teams to drive pre-production validation efforts, ensuring systems and environments meet compliance and deployment-readiness criteria.
  • Prepares and delivers audit documentation and test evidence to support internal Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) processes, maintaining alignment with security and policy requirements.


Monitoring and Reliability:
  • Works with others (e.g. monitoring teams) to customize dashboards, telemetry pipelines, and alerting systems, defining service level objectives (SLOs) based thresholds and metrics to monitor network health.
  • Partners with monitoring and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) teams to refine alerting systems and enhance early detection of network anomalies and degradation.
  • Leads incident response during support rotations, driving root cause analysis and coordinating cross-team resolution for escalated issues.
  • Builds and improves internal tools that enable frontline support teams to efficiently respond to network failures and recurring operational issues.


Cross-Team Collaboration and Leadership:
  • Drives test and deployment milestones in collaboration with project/program managers, adapting plans to address risks and ensure cross-team alignment.
  • Mentors junior engineers and acts as a technical SME, providing hands-on guidance in resolving complex issues.
  • Leads customer engagements on technical escalations and delivers clear, actionable root cause analysis (RCA) documentation.
  • Influences team-level roadmap and architecture decisions, contributing solutions that align with broader engineering goals.
  • Coordinates with vendors and internal teams to resolve standards misalignment, ensuring integration meets technical and operational expectations.
