Job Description
The VXLAN Network Engineer is responsible for deploying and implementing modern data center network architectures leveraging VXLAN, BGP, and EVPN. This role focuses on executing deployment activities for already completed network designs—particularly Spine-Leaf architectures using Arista switches—and ensuring seamless implementation in the client’s production environment. The ideal candidate has hands‑on experience with automation tools such as Ansible, understands Arista platforms including CloudVision Portal (CVP), and can troubleshoot issues during migration or deployment activities. Python scripting experience is beneficial but not mandatory. Key Responsibilities
Execute deployments and configurations based on finalized network designs (VXLAN / EVPN fabric, Spine-Leaf architectures). Run automation scripts (e.g., Ansible playbooks), validate successful execution, and troubleshoot failures. Ensure solution compatibility with existing infrastructure and client architecture standards. Perform testing to validate performance, stability, and security prior to go‑live. Create detailed documentation of configurations, implementation procedures, and templates for client use. Troubleshoot technical issues during provisioning, migration, and rollout phases. Work with project managers and cross‑functional stakeholders to ensure project milestones are met. Provide post‑implementation tuning, optimization, and support. Required Technical Skills
