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.
The Role at a Glance
In this role, you will own the lifecycle of our network—from initial design and high-level architecture to granular troubleshooting. You’ll spend your days working within a high-performance environment powered by Palo Alto, Juniper, and Dell, ensuring that our remote-first workforce stays connected and secure.
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.
What You Bring to the Table
The Experience: 3–5+ years of "in the trenches" experience in medium-to-large enterprise or cloud environments.
The Toolset: * Palo Alto: Deep familiarity with Panorama and security policy orchestration.
Juniper: High proficiency in Junos OS CLI and routing protocol troubleshooting.
Dell: Proven track record managing enterprise-grade Dell switches.
The Fundamentals: A "source code" level understanding of the OSI/TCP-IP models, IPv4/IPv6, DNS, and DHCP.
The Mindset: You document your work meticulously (diagrams are your love language) and enjoy the collaborative challenge of a high-stakes infrastructure team.
The Requirement: U.S. Citizenship is required for this role.
Bonus Points For...
Certifications: PCNSE, JNCIS-ENT, or CCNP.
Automation: If you’ve used Python, Ansible, or Terraform to make manual tasks disappear, we want to hear about it.
Education: A degree in CS or IT is great, but we value proven, real-world expertise above all.
Why Join Us?
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.
