  • Develop automation scripts and infrastructure-as-code solutions using Python, Ansible, and Terraform.
  • Collaborate with compute, storage, and security teams for scalable network solutions.
  • Maintain network documentation and participate in on-call rotations for incident management.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives within network operations.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Network Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field; or equivalent practical experience.
  • Minimum of 5+ years in enterprise network operations or infrastructure support.
  • Hands-on experience with Cisco, Arista, Juniper, Mellanox, or NVIDIA Networking.
  • Strong understanding of Layer 2/3 networking concepts (TCP/IP, VLAN/VXLAN, routing protocols).
  • Experience with firewalls and VPNs (e.g., Palo Alto, Fortinet).
  • Familiarity with high-performance networking in HPC, AI/ML, or cloud environments.
  • Experience with automation tools (Python, Ansible, Terraform) and Linux-based OS.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with good communication abilities.

Preferred Skills:

  • Experience with GPU-based AI infrastructure or HPC clusters.
