This role provides a flexible work arrangement, offering a remote or hybrid work-life balance based on your location.

Opportunity to travel to various global locations, including physical data centers and remote sites, based on project needs (travel requirements can be customized based on specifics).

Opportunity to work hands-on with the most advanced and reliable networking solutions from Cisco, Arista, and Dell, Palo Alto Networks.

Involves technically leading a global network with 2-3 physical data center locations and 12 remote locations across multiple regions. As part of the Global Networking Team, you will play a key role in ensuring the reliability and performance of the network infrastructure worldwide.

  2. 10-12+ years of networking experience required.
  3. 2-3+ years of network architecture experience required.
  4. Deep understanding of network infrastructure, protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VxLANs), and services (e.g., DNS, DHCP, VPNs, SD-WAN).
  5. Hands-on experience with network hardware (e.g., routers, switches, firewalls) and network monitoring tools.
  6. Strong knowledge of security practices, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and VPNs.
  7. Proficiency with Multi-cloud networking (e.g., AWS (Preferred), GCP or Azure) and software-defined networking (SDN). Relative Qualifications (e.g. AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty) beneficial.
  8. Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
