Deep, Demonstrated Mastery of OSPF and BGP. Candidates must have hands‑on, design-level expertise with both protocols — including redistribution strategies, route filtering, path control, convergence behavior, failure scenarios, and optimizing multi‑area/multi‑peer topologies. If OSPF/BGP are not your strongest skills, this role will not be a match.

• Serve as Tier 3 escalation for complex routing/switching and data center issues
• Interpret business requirements and translate them into scalable network designs
• Develop and maintain network standards, roadmaps, and architectural frameworks
• Provide technical leadership and consultation during major initiatives and incidents
• Evaluate emerging technologies and align them with strategic direction
• Support technology selection, scoping, and costing activities
• Work closely with server, application, and enterprise architecture teams
• Contribute to high-availability, redundancy, and resiliency designs across LAN/WAN

• Expert-level OSPF and BGP—design, troubleshooting, optimization, redistribution, multi-area/multi-AS topologies
• Cisco LAN/WAN and Data Center routing/switching (Catalyst, Nexus)
• Ability to translate business requirements into technical designs

• SD‑WAN (Viptela)
• Meraki (MX, Z4)
• Catalyst Center
• Bachelor’s degree in IT or 10+ years equivalent experience
• 8+ years designing and implementing enterprise network solutions
• Cisco or Juniper certifications (CCNP-level or above strongly preferred)
• Experience with routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, packet analysis tools, and WAN technologies
• Strong design, documentation, and architecture fundamentals
