  • Execute system upgrades, re‑architecture efforts, and tech refreshes for customer DDI environments.
  • Provide lifecycle engineering and architectural guidance — not day‑to‑day system administration.

  • Serve as a trusted advisor, guiding long‑term DDI strategy and modernization.

  • Lead technical discovery sessions to uncover customer requirements, challenges, and business drivers.
  • Support sales cycles with solution design, POC/POV engagements, and RFP/RFI responses.
  • Map customer needs to ELEVI’s DDI architecture, migration, and DNS Security offerings using value‑based framing.
  • Translate customer requirements into architectural recommendations, scopes of work, and value‑driven proposals.
  • Partner with Account Executives to identify and shape new‑business opportunities.
  • Contribute to sales and marketing collateral, solution diagrams, and technical content.
What You Bring
  • 10+ years of enterprise DDI engineering experience with deep expertise in DNS, DHCP, IPAM, ISC BIND, Kea DHCP, NTP, TCP/IP.
  • Strong hands‑on Infoblox experience (core requirement);
    Infoblox certifications strongly preferred.
  • Proven ability to lead DDI migrations, including Microsoft DNS/DHCP transitions and large‑scale platform‑to‑platform IPAM migrations.
  • Experience with EfficientIP, Blue Cat, or TCPWave (highly desirable; training provided).
  • Solid understanding of DNS Security (DNSSEC, RPZ, threat‑intel filtering).
  • Python and/or Perl scripting required, with proficiency in bash/ksh/csh, APIs, CLIs, VPN, SSH, data migration, and service integration.
  • Broad networking and systems background:
    Linux/Unix, routing/switching, load balancing, MS Active Directory, VoIP, UDP, and related infrastructure.
  • Strong foundation in Backup & Disaster Recovery, fault‑tolerant systems, and upgrade planning.
  • Excellent communication skills — confident presenting to all levels, leading whiteboard sessions, and translating complex technical concepts into clear business value.
  • Experience supporting sales cycles, POCs, demos, RFP/RFI responses, and collaborating with Account Executives, partners, and cross‑functional teams.
