Network Developer 2

Key Responsibilities

• Network Design, Development, and Validation: -Designs and develops standard network systems to support small and large-scale enterprise, data center, or cloud-based networking environments independently. -Validates production networks and assists in scaling use cases independently. -Participates in the network solution design and validation process independently. -Identifies risks in network design prior to deployment. -Collaborates with vendors and internal groups (e.g., quality assurance) to validate network configurations, hardware, firmware, software, and cloud network code. -Contributes to the design of playbooks to support standard changes or investigations for common issues related to network areas. -Implements guided improvements to the optimization of network processes to improve efficiency. Automation and Scripting: -Contributes business logic to automation frameworks for testing and operations to enhance efficiency. -Automates network tasks, including production and lab environments and repetitive support functions independently. -Builds and customizes dashboards, telemetry systems, and alerting mechanisms to monitor network health. -Writes moderately advanced scripts to automate routine tasks for the immediate team and other business units, independently. -Uses infrastructure pipelines, configuration items, using established playbooks and resources. -Adapts and configures tools with guidance to support specific aspects of new product functionality. Testing and Quality Assurance: -Develops and implements standalone test cases and test strategies independently. -Provides expertise in test practices and strategies, guiding junior engineers in developing robust testing protocols. -Provides break-fix validation support and conducts post-event root cause analysis (RCA) to address issues. -Conducts L1 network change reviews and communicates network changes to others in preparation for change management review boards. -Runs tests and verifies that systems meet defined compliance and readiness criteria, under supervision. -Gathers Government, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) data following playbook and begins to innovate scripts to streamline data collection. Monitoring and Reliability: -Interprets advanced metrics across dashboards, telemetry systems, and alerting mechanisms to monitor network health, including defining metrics, trends, and thresholds to ensure service level objectives (SLOs). -Implements monitoring and alerting systems for detecting and diagnosing network anomalies. -Serves in operational support rotations by providing incident response and conducting root cause investigations, seeking assistance as needed to resolve escalated technical issues. -Implements tools and solutions for frontline support teams to respond to network failure conditions. Cross-Team Collaboration and Leadership: -Collaborates with project/program managers to achieve test and deployment milestones. -Provides guidance to junior engineers and acts as a subject matter expert (SME) for routine issues. -Engages with customer and contributes to the delivery of incident response and root cause analysis (RCA) documentation. -Participates in discussions on roadmap and software architecture design, providing feedback on ideas from junior team members. -Collaborates with vendors and internal teams to ensure adherence to networking standards adherence, independently. Performance and Capacity Management: -Analyzes network performance and service metrics (e.g., latency, throughput, packet loss) to identify network efficiency issues, with support from other team members on next steps. -Uses capacity information through security and performance metrics to ensure the infrastructure can support anticipated growth, requesting guidance from others on steps forward.
