Corporate Senior Network Engineer
Automation & AI-Focused | Enterprise Networking
Overview
We are seeking a seasoned, forward-thinking Senior Network Engineer to join a corporate engineering team driving modern, automated, and intelligent network operations. This role is ideal for an experienced professional who excels in enterprise-scale networking and is passionate about automation, infrastructure-as-code, and the future of AI-enabled network operations.
You will play a critical role in designing, implementing, and evolving secure, scalable network architectures across campus, WAN, cloud, and remote access environments-while helping shape how automation and AI improve reliability, efficiency, and visibility across the enterprise.
What You'll Do
- Design, implement, and support large-scale enterprise networks spanning campus, WAN, cloud, and remote access environments in a multi-vendor ecosystem (e.g., Cisco, Meraki, Palo Alto, Fortinet).
- Lead network automation initiatives using Ansible, Python, Terraform, and infrastructure-as-code practices to improve speed, consistency, and operational efficiency.
- Evaluate and integrate AI/ML-driven network operations (AIOps) tools to enhance monitoring, anomaly detection, predictive analytics, root cause analysis, and capacity planning.
- Translate business and application requirements into scalable, secure, and resilient network architectures through close collaboration with engineering, security, and cloud teams.
- Architect and support hybrid connectivity across on-prem infrastructure, public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), and SaaS services.
- Implement and maintain network security controls, including firewalls, segmentation strategies, zero-trust architectures, access controls, and encryption standards.
- Build and maintain NetDevOps workflows and CI/CD pipelines that enable version-controlled, repeatable, and auditable network changes.
- Monitor network performance, analyze trends, and proactively address issues to maintain high availability and optimal user experience.
- Drive continuous improvement through adoption of modern networking technologies such as SD-WAN, SASE, and cloud-native networking.
- Create and maintain clear documentation, automation workflows, architectural diagrams, and operational runbooks.
- Participate in an on-call rotation to support incident response and critical network operations.
