Job Summary:
The Network Engineer III is responsible for evaluating, supporting, implementing and monitoring Network Management Toolsets also, implements complex multi-site network solutions, leads projects, and serves as an escalation point for the team.
Essential Functions:
Manage relationships and SLAs with co-location providers and circuit/carrier vendors, including contract renewals, remote-hands escalations, and facility maintenance coordination
Lead data centerbuild-outs, expansions, and equipment refresh/lifecycle projects, including coordination of electrical, mechanical, and physical security requirements with facilities and co-location partners
Own the Aruba SD-WAN architecture across the branch portfolio: policy design, QoS, path conditioning, and Orchestrator administration
Serve as the primary network point of contact for cross-functional projects with the Security team, translating network architecture and traffic requirements into clear inputs for firewall, segmentation, and zero-trust initiatives without performing the security configuration itself
Develop network standards, reference architectures, and lifecycle/capacity plans for switching, routing, and SD-WAN platforms
Education and Experience:
Competencies, Knowledge and Skills:
Expert-level Cisco IOS and Arista EOS skills: advanced routing (OSPF, BGP), spine-leaf/VXLAN-EVPN fabrics, MLAG/vPC
Deep Aruba SD-WAN expertise: Orchestrator policy design, application-aware routing, multi-circuit failover, and SD-WAN-to-data-center integration
Strong understanding of cloud network architecture (AWS/Azure/GCP networking constructs, transit gateways, hybrid routing, BGP over Direct Connect/ExpressRoute)
Strong working knowledge of firewall and security architecture concepts (zones, micro-segmentation, NGFW policy logic, IDS/IPS placement) sufficient to design networks that meet security requirements and to partner effectively with the Security team — not hands-on firewall rule authorship
Strong understanding of data center physical infrastructure design: power redundancy (N+1/2N), cooling architecture, structured cabling standards (e.g., TIA-942), and DCIM tooling
Working knowledge of physical and environmental security controls in data center/co-location facilities (badge access, cameras, environmental sensors) sufficient to coordinate with facilities/security teams and co-location providers, not to manage those systems directly
Licensure and Certification:
Up to 15% (occasional) travel may be required to travel to different locations, including homes, offices, or other public settings, to perform work duties
Compensation Range:
$94,100.00 - $164,800.00
