As a Principal Network Engineer at Commvault, you will not just sit in an ivory tower drawing diagrams'. We are looking for a Player-Coach— a technical heavyweight who possesses the vision to architect a global network and the grit to build and troubleshoot it personally.

• Build & Deploy:
  Take primary responsibility for the "First Build." You will lead the hands-on implementation of global SD-WAN and Cloud nodes, ensuring the transition from design to production is flawless.

• Deep-Dive Troubleshooting:
  Act as the ultimate technical escalation point. When Tier-3 hits a wall, you dive into the logs, PCAPs, and routing tables to identify and fix the root cause.

• Network-as-Code:
  Personally develop and maintain Terraform and Ansible playbooks to automate the global environment, ensuring you are driving the execution of automation, not just suggesting it.

• GCP & Azure Execution:
  Physically build and manage the transit gateways, VPC/VNet peering, and Cloud Interconnects that power our multi-cloud ecosystem.

• SD-WAN Mastery:
  Take the lead in configuring Prisma Access and NGFWs. You will own the policy engine, hands-on, ensuring security is baked into every route and interface.

• Zero Trust Integration:
  Move beyond the "Zero Trust" buzzword by executing the actual micro-segmentation and identity-based access controls across our hybrid footprint.

• Zscaler and Firewall Expert:
  Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA). Own the global policy sets, SSL decryption strategies, and threat prevention profiles.

• Hybrid Connectivity:
  Manage complex Site-to-Site VPNs, GRE tunnels, and high-speed interconnects that link our global data centers with public cloud regions.

• Strategic Influence:
  Partner with the CISO and Director of Infrastructure to align networking goals with broader business initiatives.

• Technical Mentorship:
  Lead and upskill a global team of senior and mid-level engineers. Conduct architectural reviews and set the "gold standard" for documentation and code-based infrastructure.

• Vendor Management:
  Lead technical evaluations and QBRs with key partners (Google, Microsoft, Palo Alto), ensuring Commvault is leveraging the latest features and optimal pricing.

• Lead by Example:
  Set the technical standard for the engineering team by demonstrating best practices in configuration, documentation, and operational discipline.

• Executive Communication:
  Translate complex technical "war stories" and execution hurdles into concise executive summaries for leadership, providing clear paths for risk mitigation.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC):
  Champion a "Network-as-Code" mindset using Terraform, Ansible, or Python to automate repetitive tasks and ensure 100% configuration consistency.

• Operational Resilience:
  Own Tier-4 escalations for complex network outages. Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) sessions that translate technical failures into actionable business improvements.

• Experience:
  
  12+ years in Network Engineering, with a career path that proves you have never lost your "hands-on" edge.
• Location:
  
  Preferably in New Jersey to help own the hardware in the corporate data center.
• "In-the-Trenches" Expertise:
  Proven ability to build, operate, and troubleshoot complex environments across…
