Role Description
Build, Secure, and Scale the Future of AVAYA Infrastructure
Are you a Network Engineer who thrives on the elegant complexity of a well-tuned architecture? We are looking for a mid-to-senior level expert to join our Infrastructure team as a primary architect of our corporate connectivity. This isn't just a maintenance role—you’ll be the hands-on lead for securing our perimeter, optimizing our routing, and ensuring our core infrastructure scales alongside our growth.
Your Core Mission:
- Next-Gen Security: Design and manage our Palo Alto (NGFW) environment. You’ll be the gatekeeper, managing Panorama, Threat Prevention profiles, and complex VPN tunnels.
- High-Velocity Routing: Take the wheel of our Juniper ecosystem. You’ll use Junos OS to master BGP, dynamic routing, and traffic optimization.
- Core Connectivity: Administer our Dell switching fabric, ensuring rock-solid VLAN management, LACP, and STP across the core and access layers.
- Architectural Evolution: Don’t just fix things—make them better. You’ll lead hardware migrations, capacity planning, and firmware lifecycle management.
- Observability: Utilize enterprise-grade monitoring tools to stay ahead of the curve, acting as the final escalation point for the most challenging network puzzles.
Qualifications
- 3–5+ years of "in the trenches" experience in medium-to-large enterprise or cloud environments.
- Deep familiarity with Palo Alto and security policy orchestration.
- High proficiency in Junos OS CLI and routing protocol troubleshooting.
- Proven track record managing enterprise-grade Dell switches.
- A "source code" level understanding of the OSI/TCP-IP models, IPv4/IPv6, DNS, and DHCP.
- Meticulous documentation skills and a collaborative mindset.
- U.S. Citizenship is required for this role.
Requirements
- Certifications: PCNSE, JNCIS-ENT, or CCNP.
- Experience with automation tools like Python, Ansible, or Terraform.
- A degree in CS or IT is great, but proven, real-world expertise is valued above all.
Benefits
- AVAYA is the market leader in CCaaS solutions.
- Truly Remote: Work from home with a strong preference for Virginia.
- Impact: You aren't just a cog in the machine; you are the owner of the network stack.
- Modern Stack: Work with industry-leading tools (Palo Alto, Juniper) rather than legacy debt.
