Optimum, a leader in the fast-paced world of connectivity, is looking to optimize its IP transport networks and provide reliable, high-speed connectivity solutions.
Requirements
- Expert-level knowledge of routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS) and transport protocols (TCP, UDP, ICMP).
- Proficient in infrastructure automation tools (Ansible, Terraform, Python scripting).
- Experience managing observability platforms (Grafana, Prometheus, ELK, SNMP traps).
- Strong familiarity with network design principles, IP addressing schemes, NAT, ACLs, and traffic engineering.
- Experience with hybrid infrastructure (on-prem + cloud), microservice architectures, and SDN.
- Certifications such as Cisco CCNP/CCIE, Juniper JNCIP/JNCIE, or equivalent.
- Familiarity with CI/CD workflows, GitOps, or containerized networking (CNI, service mesh).
Responsibilities
- Design and validate Layer 3 network topologies, addressing schemes, and route policies.
- Lead troubleshooting of routing issues involving BGP, OSPF, MPLS, and multicast.
- Monitor network health using telemetry, SNMP, and flow-based tools; respond to anomalies.
- Implement change requests, maintenance windows, and upgrades with minimal service impact.
- Automate recurring network tasks (e.g., provisioning, config backups, audits) using Python, Ansible, or other tools.
- Collaborate with IP architects and security teams to align on policies, segmentation, and access control.
- Participate in capacity planning, traffic analysis, and latency optimization efforts.
Other
- Bachelor’s degree in Telecommunications, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
- 6+ years of experience in IP networking and infrastructure support, with at least 4 years in reliability-focused roles.
- Strong documentation and cross-team leadership skills; able to translate technical needs to non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to work in a team-oriented environment and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
- Commitment to empowering employees to take responsibility and embrace proactive problem-solving.
