Description
- We are seeking a highly experienced Network Engineer to join our team as a recognised technical authority in Service Provider IP/MPLS networking.
- This is a senior, expert level position requiring hands on SP experience across large scale backbone and edge environments.
- The successful candidate will be responsible for designing, deploying, and evolving carrier grade multi vendor networks with deep expertise spanning Segment Routing, Seamless MPLS, BGP LU, NG MVPN, advanced BGP engineering, and network automation.
- This role will also involve support for industrial OT telecom communications where SP transport underpins critical infrastructure operations.
- The position requires someone who can lead complex design and delivery engagements independently, contribute to technical proposals and solution architecture, and serve as a go to subject matter expert.
Required Skills SP Architecture & Network Infrastructure
- Design, architect, and deploy carrier grade IP/MPLS backbone and edge networks across multi vendor platforms.
- Lead the full network lifecycle: requirements gathering, high level and low level design, lab validation, staged rollout, and production handover.
- Drive network traffic engineering, and performance optimisation across SP core and aggregation layers.
- Operate and evolve large scale SP environments supporting multiple PoPs, and diverse service portfolios.
Required Skills MPLS, Seamless MPLS & Segment Routing
- Deploy and operate MPLS based services at carrier scale: L3VPN, L2VPN (VPWS, VPLS), and EVPN across the SP backbone.
- Architect Seamless MPLS solutions spanning access, aggregation, and core domains including full inter domain label stitching, hierarchy, and domain boundary design.
- Implement BGP Labeled Unicast (BGP LU / RFC 3107) for inter domain prefix transport, label stack engineering, and Seamless MPLS stitching between network domains.
- Deploy SR MPLS including SR TE policies, Flexible Algorithm (Flex Algo), TI LFA fast reroute, and PCEP/PCE integration for traffic engineered forwarding.
- Manage LDP, RSVP TE, and SR data plane co existence including migration planning from legacy to SR transport.
- Configure and troubleshoot inter AS MPLS VPN architectures: Option A, Option B, Option C etc.
Required Skills BGP & Advanced Routing
- Design and operate complex BGP topologies: iBGP/eBGP, route reflector hierarchies, BGP add path, and optimal route reflection (BGP ORR).
- Implement advanced BGP policy: communities (standard, extended, large), attribute manipulation, traffic engineering, and BGP PIC edge/core for fast convergence.
- Deploy BGP LS for topology distribution to SDN controllers and PCE; configure BGP EPE for egress peer engineering and inter domain traffic steering.
- Configure IS IS and OSPF as SP IGPs with multi level/area designs, TE extensions, and BFD for rapid failure detection.
Required Skills Multicast Legacy & Next Generation MVPN
- Design and operate IP multicast at SP scale: PIM SM, PIM SSM, PIM BiDir, IGMP/MLD, MSDP, and Anycast RP.
- Deploy and support legacy MVPN (Draft Rosen / RFC 6037) using GRE based MDT tunnels across the SP core.
- Architect and implement NG MVPN (RFC 6513/6514) using RSVP TE P2MP LSPs, mLDP P2MP/MP2MP, and SR Tree SID as multicast transport alternatives.
- Configure NG MVPN with BGP auto discovery, S PMSI and I PMSI tunnel signalling, and inter AS NG MVPN variants (Option B and Option C).
- Support multicast extranet designs, shared tree optimisation, and bandwidth efficient multicast delivery for video, IPTV, and financial distribution use cases.
- Implement multicast in SRv6 networks: SRv6 Tree SID, BIER (Bit Index Explicit Replication), and BIER TE as modern P2MP forwarding alternatives.
Required Skills Network Automation & Programmability
- Develop and maintain automation pipelines using Python, for configuration management, compliance verification, and bulk change deployment across multi vendor SP environments.
- Implement model driven telemetry using gRPC/gNMI/gNOI for real time operational state streaming from Cisco IOS XR, Nokia SR OS, and Huawei platforms.
- Work with YANG data models and NETCONF/RESTCONF for programmatic device configuration, state retrieval, and closed loop assurance.
- Integrate with orchestration platforms (Cisco NSO, Nokia NSP, or open source equivalents) for automated service lifecycle management.
Looking For Experience
- A minimum of 6 years of hands on experience in Service Provider IP/MPLS networks in a technical engineering or architecture role.
- Proven delivery of large scale SP backbone, aggregation, and edge network projects from design through to production.
- Multi vendor deployment experience across at least two of: Cisco IOS XR, Nokia SR OS, and Huawei VRP.
- Production proven expertise in at least three of: Seamless MPLS, BGP LU, SRv6, NG MVPN, BIER, SR TE, or BGP LS.
- Hands on network automation experience: Python or Ansible scripting for SP tasks, NETCONF/YANG integration, and telemetry pipeline setup.
- Experience working in or alongside OT/industrial telecom environments (utility, oil & gas, power, or transport) is a strong advantage.
Looking For Certifications
- CCIE Service Provider highly preferred.
- Nokia Service Routing Architect (NRS II / SRA) or equivalent Nokia professional certification.
- CCNP Service Provider is the minimum acceptable level if an expert level certification is not yet held.
- Automation or DevOps certifications (Cisco DevNet, Python PCEP/PCAP) are a welcome addition.
Looking For Education
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Telecommunications, or a closely related field.
- Equivalent combination of professional certification and experience will be considered.
