GES is seeking a Senior Infoblox DDI Engineer to engineer, implement, migrate, and sustain enterprise DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (DDI) services in support of large-scale network operations. The engineer will provide hands‑on technical leadership for Infoblox grid infrastructure, DNS, DHCP, IPAM, and associated network services, including design, migration, troubleshooting, testing, security hardening, and production implementation. The position also requires strong routing and switching expertise because DDI services depend on the underlying network for reachability, DHCP relay, segmentation, routing, and high availability.

The engineer must be able to troubleshoot issues across both the Infoblox platform and the network infrastructure supporting it.

Infoblox and DDI Engineering

• Engineer, deploy, configure, and sustain Infoblox grid infrastructure, including grid masters, grid master candidates, members, high‑availability pairs, and distributed appliances across sites and enclaves.
• Design and maintain enterprise DNS architecture, including authoritative and recursive services, forward and reverse zones, delegation, conditional forwarding, split‑horizon views, zone transfers, and DNSSEC.
• Engineer and maintain enterprise DHCP services, including scope and range design, failover and redundancy, reservations, option configuration, relay behavior, and lease management.
• Design and maintain IPAM structure, including network containers, address space allocation, utilization reporting, extensible attributes, and data hygiene across the enterprise.
• Perform Infoblox grid upgrades, patching, backup and restore, capacity planning, licensing, and lifecycle management.
• Integrate Infoblox with Active Directory, network access control, automation platforms, and provisioning workflows via APIs and supported integrations.
• Implement DNS security capabilities such as response policy zones, query filtering and logging, and threat‑intelligence‑driven blocking where approved.

Routing and Switching Engineering

• Engineer, configure, and implement enterprise routing and switching infrastructure supporting DDI services, including routing policy, VLAN architecture, DHCP relay paths, anycast service delivery, and high‑availability designs.
• Support routing protocol configuration and troubleshooting across BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP, including redistribution, filtering, and convergence behavior affecting DDI reachability.
• Perform installation, modification, configuration,…
