  • Perform hands-on configuration, testing, and optimization of networking components in customer and lab environments.

3. Documentation & Knowledge Sharing

  • Develop internal best practice guides for network design, deployment, and troubleshooting in OpenStack and Kubernetes environments.
  • Create customer-facing documentation to support network planning and implementation.
  • Deliver enablement sessions for Professional Services, PreSales, and Support teams on networking topics and technologies.

4. Continuous Improvement & Innovation

  • Stay current with advancements in networking, SDN, NFV, and cloud-native network architectures.
  • Work with Engineering to propose new features and enhancements for improved network integration and automation.
  • Contribute to the refinement of Professional Services delivery methodologies for network design and implementation.

Required Qualifications

  • 15+ years of enterprise networking experience, including design, deployment, and troubleshooting.
  • Hands-on experience with Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS), VPN-as-a-Service (VPNaaS), and Load Balancer-as-a-Service (LBaaS) solutions.
  • Expertise in routing, switching, VLANs, VXLAN, BGP, OSPF, and related protocols.
  • Strong background in software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV).
  • Experience with OpenStack Neutron networking services and plugins, as well as integrations with major SDN controllers.
  • Specialization in VMware networking (NSX-T, NSX-V) or OpenStack networking, with the ability to work across both stacks preferred.
  • Knowledge of cloud-native networking for Kubernetes (e.g., Calico, Cilium, Flannel).
  • Hands-on experience with network troubleshooting tools and methodologies in multi-vendor environments.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience automating network provisioning and configuration using tools like Ansible, Terraform, PowerShell or Python.
  • Familiarity with load balancers, firewalls, and security policy automation.
  • Vendor certifications (e.g., CCNP/CCIE, JNCIE, VCAP-NV, or equivalent) are highly desirable.
  • Experience authoring technical whitepapers or contributing to open-source networking projects.

Core Competencies

  • Excellent communication skills for technical and executive-level discussions.
