Senior Network Engineer
The Senior Network Engineer is responsible for the design, implementation, integration, and ongoing operation of enterprise networking and security platforms, including LAN, WAN, wireless, telephony, multi-cloud networking (Azure and AWS), and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architectures. This role requires deep expertise in Cisco networking, Palo Alto security platforms, SASE/SD-WAN, and public cloud networking services. The engineer ensures high availability, resiliency, scalability, and security while leading modernization initiatives that align network and security capabilities with business objectives.
AI-Enhanced Responsibilities
Leverage AI‑driven analytics to proactively detect anomalies, predict failures, and optimize network performance across on‑prem, cloud, and SASE environments.
Implement AI‑based security analytics for advanced threat detection, behavioral analysis, and automated response across firewall and SASE platforms.
Use AI‑assisted traffic analysis to optimize routing, bandwidth utilization, and application performance across hybrid and multi‑cloud architectures.
Integrate AI‑powered automation to streamline configuration management, compliance validation, and change management.
Qualifications
Bachelor's in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent experience.
8+ years of hands‑on experience in enterprise network and security engineering.
Preferred certifications: Cisco CCNP/CCIE, Palo Alto PCNSE, Microsoft Azure Network Engineer Associate, AWS Advanced Networking or Solutions Architect.
Expert‑level knowledge of: Cisco routing and switching (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, MPLS, QoS, VoIP, SIP, H.323).
Palo Alto security technologies (App‑ID, User‑ID, Panorama, Threat Prevention).
Azure and AWS networking architectures, including private connectivity (ExpressRoute, Direct Connect), hybrid routing, and cloud security controls.
SASE and SD‑WAN architectures, including secure web gateways, zero‑trust access, identity‑based policy enforcement, and cloud security services.
Strong experience with Aruba Wireless, ClearPass, VPNs, and remote access solutions.
Familiarity with network and security monitoring platforms (SolarWinds, Cisco DNA Center, Palo Alto Panorama, Azure Monitor, AWS CloudWatch).
Proven troubleshooting, project execution, and executive‑level communication skills.
