Role OverviewWe are seeking two senior-level Cisco Routing & Switching engineers to lead network maintenance-window cutover activities in a large-scale Cisco environment. These are hands‑on senior lead roles: strong enough to personally handle the most complex design, configuration, and triage work, and senior enough to provide leadership to a team of engineers executing cuts under time pressure.
One resource will cover the day shift; the other will cover the overnight maintenance window.
Hard Requirements- US Citizen and based in the US (non-negotiable)
- Senior-level Cisco Routing & Switching experience
- Willingness and availability to work the assigned shift
- Day Shift: Standard business hours (CST)
- Night Shift: Start between 10:00–11:00 PM CST, ending around 6:00 AM CST
- Lead and provide technical direction to a team of ~10 cut engineers performing maintenance-window cuts on Cisco devices
- Design and build Methods of Procedure (MOPs) for maintenance windows, including rollback and verification steps
- Configure devices from scratch, including configuration translation from older OS versions in production to new devices on current OS
- Own real-time triage during cuts: applied config failures, hardware failures, config recovery, and troubleshooting common failure scenarios
- Execute and oversee routing/switching cutovers with minimal disruption
- Cisco IOS-XE
- Cisco Nexus OS (NX-OS)
- Routing protocols: BGP, OSPF
- First-hop redundancy: HSRP
- VLAN trunking, Spanning Tree, Access Control Lists (ACLs)
- MPLS and service-provider-specific technologies
- Single-mode and multi-mode fiber
- Cat5 / Cat6 copper cabling
- SFP / QSFP transceiver types
- Configuration recovery and rollback discipline
- Hardware fault diagnosis
- TACACS — including the client's “Key 6” scenarios (definition to be confirmed with client)
- 14+ years in enterprise or service-provider network engineering
- CCNP / CCIE (Routing & Switching or Enterprise) preferred
- Proven experience with large-scale network migrations / hardware refresh cutovers (not steady‑state‑only)
- Demonstrated ability to lead a team live during high‑stakes maintenance windows
