If you have deep expertise with AF5 LTM and GTM, BGP and OSPF routing protocol, Arista EOS and CloudVision, and a proven track record of modernizing legacy infrastructure, you're exactly who we're looking for.

- Automate Everything: Use Python and other Linux tools to automate network management and streamline operations.
- Lead the Way: Act as a technical leader, mentoring team members, handling complex issues, and serving as a subject matter expert.
- Modernize and Support: Evolve our legacy networks for cloud-native environments and provide expert support to resolve complex network issues.
- Load Balanced Application Delivery: Implement load balancing strategies (e.g., round robin, least connections) to optimize application performance and ensure high availability.
- High Availability: Setting up and manage Arista and F5 device clusters in active/standby or active/active configurations to provide failover capabilities.
- AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting): Strong knowledge of AAA frameworks for network access control. Hands-on experience configuring and managing TACACS+, Radius for device administration security in Cisco ICE.
- Network Hardware Lifecycle Management: Responsible for all network device patching, including security fixes and OS updates. Track device vendor support timelines and manage end of life transitions to updated hardware models.
- Network Monitoring: Monitor network traffic and alerts for proactive management and capacity planning. Provide up to date network metrics to all technical teams for better product development and troubleshooting.
Required qualifications:
- 10+ years of hands-on experience in network engineering.
