    • Serve as an escalation point for complex network issues and participate in on-call rotation. 
    • Troubleshoot performance, security, and connectivity challenges across enterprise networks. 
    • Perform capacity planning, risk assessments, and disaster recovery planning. 
    • Evaluate new technologies, recommend improvements, and contribute to network strategy. 
    • Maintain comprehensive documentation of network architecture, standards, and configurations. 
    • Mentor junior engineers and collaborate with cross-functional teams on projects. 
    Required Qualifications
    • Bachelor’s degree in a related field (or equivalent technical experience). 
    • 7+ years of enterprise-level network engineering experience. 
    • Deep expertise in routing/switching (BGP required, OSPF secondary).

    • Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills. 
    • Familiarity with ITIL practices and enterprise ticketing systems. 
    • Willingness to travel occasionally (less than 10%). 
    Preferred Qualifications
    • Experience with Palo Alto firewalls (hardware & VM). 
    • Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code and automation tools. 
    • Relevant certifications (e.g., CCNP, CCIE, AWS certifications). 
    • Prior experience in large enterprise or Fortune 500 environments.
