Leadership role defining technical direction and engineering strategy for a scalable and resilient service provider network infrastructure.
Обязанности
- The company is building a next-generation service provider network designed to support large-scale infrastructure growth, operational scalability and long-term architectural evolution.
- We are looking for a Head of Network Engineering to define the technical direction, architectural standards and engineering strategy of the company's service provider infrastructure.
- This role is responsible for the architectural leadership across: IP/MPLS backbone infrastructure, Metro Ethernet and aggregation networks, Optical transport infrastructure (OTN / DWDM), Network security infrastructure, Data center interconnectivity and backbone integration.
- The Head of Network Engineering ensures that all network domains evolve under a coherent architecture focused on: Scalability, Resiliency, Operational simplicity, Deterministic behavior, Infrastructure standardization.
- This is not a reactive operations role. It is a systems-level engineering leadership role focused on designing infrastructure capable of scaling sustainably as the network grows in size, traffic and operational complexity.
- The ideal candidate is someone with deep service provider engineering experience, capable of operating at CCIE/JNCIE-level depth while also defining organizational technical direction and engineering standards.
- This role requires strong automation and operational scalability mindset. We are looking for leaders who understand that large-scale service provider environments cannot scale through manual operations alone.
- Within this domain, the Head of Network Engineering:
- Defines the long-term architecture roadmap for the service provider network ecosystem
- Establishes technical standards and engineering principles across routing, transport, aggregation and security domains
- Ensures architectural consistency between backbone, access, transport and infrastructure security environments
- Defines scalability and resiliency strategies for infrastructure growth
- Guides technical decisions related to routing architecture, transport evolution and infrastructure expansion
- Drives engineering standardization across multi-vendor environments
- Promotes automation-first operational models to improve scalability, consistency and deployment velocity
- Collaborates closely with Automation, Operations, Expansion and Infrastructure teams
- Supports the evolution of provisioning, validation and infrastructure lifecycle methodologies
- Drives documentation, engineering discipline and operational reproducibility across the organization
- Mentors and develops senior engineering talent across multiple technical domains
- This role is not focused on operating isolated technologies. It is focused on designing scalable and operationally sustainable service provider infrastructure systems.
Требования
