- Evaluate and select networking hardware and vendors in partnership with procurement and data center delivery teams
- Develop and maintain network automation, configuration management, and documentation standards
- Partner with data center delivery and security teams on network design for new sites and expansions
- Mentor junior network engineers and contribute to on-call rotations
- Ensure compliance with relevant security, redundancy, and uptime standards across the network estate
What You Bring
- 6+ years of experience in network engineering, including data center or large-scale infrastructure environments
- Deep expertise in routing and switching protocols (BGP, OSPF, VXLAN/EVPN) and network security fundamentals
- Hands-on experience with high-density, high-bandwidth data center network fabrics
- Proficiency with network automation tools and scripting (Python, Ansible, or similar)
- Relevant certifications (CCNP/CCIE or equivalent) preferred
- Strong troubleshooting skills and experience owning production incident response
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally with delivery and security teams
