As a Level 1 IP Network SRE, you will support the monitoring, operation and stability of core IP transport systems.

You will work with senior network engineers to automate repetitive tasks, respond to incidents, and scale and secure large, carrier‑grade IP networks.

• Monitor the health and performance of IP transport networks (core, edge, and aggregation).
• Support day‑to‑day operations, including configuration changes, upgrades, and routine maintenance.
• Navigate and assist with troubleshooting incidents related to routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS), MPLS, and VPN services.
• Execute runbooks and follow standard operating procedures for incident response and escalation.

• Document troubleshooting steps, network changes, and lessons learned.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (Systems, Security, and other Operations Teams) to deliver reliable network services.

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, Media Technology, engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• Preferred 1‑2 years of experience in network administration, operations, engineering, or SRE‑related work.
• Internship or project‑based experience with routing and switching is a plus.
• Understanding of IP networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, subnetting, DNS, DHCP, and VLANs.
• Familiarity with routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, IS-IS) and MPLS concepts.
• Hands‑on exposure to carrier‑grade platforms (Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, or Arista) is desirable.
• Scripting experience (Python, Bash, or Power Shell) for automation tasks is desirable.
• Exposure to monitoring/observability tools (SNMP, Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Splunk, etc.).
• Awareness of cloud networking concepts (AWS, Azure, GCP) is a plus.
