Responsibilities

• Design and validate large-scale Data Center network architectures, including VXLAN-based spine-leaf fabrics (EVPN).
• Develop High Level Designs (HLDs) and Low-Level Designs (LLDs) aligned with enterprise standards and business requirements.
• Lead or contribute to data center build-outs, technology refreshes, and migration initiatives.
• Design and support enterprise LAN/WAN architectures for large, distributed environments.
• Prepare detailed Bills of Materials (BOMs) and implementation guidelines to facilitate deployment.
• Review and validate network designs through technical discussions and design reviews with relevant teams.
• Work across multi-vendor platforms, including Arista EOS and Cisco, ensuring optimal integration and performance.
• Apply expertise in routing, switching, resiliency, high availability, and scalability to ensure robust network designs.
• Collaborate with implementation engineers, operations teams, vendors, and architects to translate requirements into effective solutions.
• Maintain comprehensive design documentation and technical artifacts to support ongoing and future network initiatives.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise network engineering, with extensive design expertise.
• Proven success designing and implementing large data centers, migrations, and enterprise LAN/WAN networks.
• Strong knowledge of VXLAN / EVPN fabric design, spine-leaf architectures, and multi-vendor environments.
• Ability to clearly communicate design principles, architecture decisions, and trade-offs to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience working in complex, multi-vendor enterprise environments, with a focus on scalability and high availability.
• CCIE certification (Data Center, Routing & Switching) or equivalent expert level certification preferred.
• Advanced Arista certifications (e.g., L4 or higher) preferred.
• Exposure to network automation tools such as Ansible, Python, or templated design approaches is desirable.
• Strong documentation skills and the ability to manage stakeholder expectations effectively.
• Must be legally authorized to work in the designated location or remotely as specified.
