In this role, you'll work alongside a high-performing team of software and platform engineers to design, deploy, and optimize scalable, high-performance network infrastructure.

  • Create and implement changes to the network through automation.
  • Deliver simple, sustainable, and repeatable solutions and processes.
  • Operate and trouble-shoot network routing, interconnectivity, platforms, performance, and configuration issues, including low level application interaction, Linux systems, and next-gen networking software tools.
  • Maintain standards across the networking toolset and ensure that we are fully compliant with those standards and policies.
  • Drive and support innovation from Top of Rack to the Network Border and everything in between.
  • Work closely with the Network Architect to ensure fast, smooth roll-out of new designs and products, as well as assist with deployment and sustaining network infrastructure and tooling.

REQUIRED SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in a relevant technical field, or equivalent work experience.
  • Proficient in either Python or Go programming language.
  • Experience working with networking protocols and APIs, ideally Open vSwitch and/or any RESTful APIs for network devices and services.
  • Proficient in network topologies and architecture (VLAN, LAN, WAN).
  • Experience with automation frameworks, specifically Ansible, to write scripts and automate network configurations.
  • Experience in network system hardware and infrastructure.
  • Experience with SONiC and Cumulus Network Operating System (NOS).
  • Experience in rail-optimized technology.
  • Experience with key OpenShift networking concepts, like Open vSwitch (OVS) / Open Virtual Network (OVN) to create an overlay network on top of the physical infrastructure to facilitate pod communication across nodes.
  • Experience using the OpenShift Kubernetes Container Network Interface (CNI) to interact with different network plugins and manage pod networking.
  • Familiarity with configuring, deploying, and maintaining the MetalLB Operator for traffic load balancing on bare metal clusters.
  • Experience using Red Hat OpenShift Service Mesh for discovery, load balancing, service-to-service authentication, failure recovery, metrics, and monitoring services.
  • Proficient with the Network Observability Operator for network debugging and insights.
  • An ability to effectively communicate with team members, vendors, and customers to understand requirements and implement solutions.
  • Proficient time management to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced networking environment.
