Job
Description
You will be responsible for leading the design and architecture of Cisco ACI solutions, ensuring optimal application delivery and seamless network integration. Your role will involve defining network segmentation, security policies, multi-tenant design, and automation strategies within the ACI fabric. You will be required to design and implement routing protocols such as BGP and OSPF, VXLAN, and interfacing with external networks like L3Outs and ACI-to-Cloud. Additionally, you will develop high-level and low-level design documents (HLD/LLD) for data center network architecture, ACI deployments, and automation. Collaboration with cross-functional teams to align ACI solutions with business and technical requirements will be essential. Ensuring seamless integration of ACI with security, compute platforms, and cloud environments will also be part of your responsibilities. Furthermore, you will provide leadership in troubleshooting complex network issues and performance optimization. To excel in this role, you should have extensive experience in designing and implementing Cisco ACI in large-scale enterprise or service provider environments. A strong understanding of R&S principles including Layer 2/3, BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, and MPLS is required. Expertise in ACI components such as APIC, spine/leaf architecture, tenants, bridge domains, and contracts is essential. Familiarity with ACI integration with VMware, Hyper-V, and cloud platforms like AWS/Azure is preferred. Experience with network automation tools such as Ansible, Python, and Postman is beneficial. Possession of Cisco certifications like CCNP Data Center, DCACI, or CCIE is an advantage. Strong problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills are also necessary for this role.,
