Job Description

Role Overview

We are looking for a skilled Network Engineer to support our global network transformation, consolidation, and cloud expansion initiatives. This role is critical as we migrate from a basic static-routing environment toward a scalable, fully-routed architecture leveraging OSPF, BGP, SD-WAN, and advanced segmentation models.

The Network Engineer will function as an individual contributor responsible for implementation, operations, troubleshooting, and partial design inputs across on-premises and cloud networking. The environment is undergoing major modernization, involving network consolidation, hardware refresh, FortiGate migration, Versa SD-WAN, and expanded AWS/Azure routing integrations.

We will be hiring two engineers, preferably based in India, with a strong preference for Hyderabad, where onsite support may be required 12 days per week in the future.

Key Responsibilities

Network Operations & Troubleshooting

  • Act as an individual contributor handling day-to-day BAU network operations without handholding.
  • Perform deep troubleshooting across firewalls, switches, SD-WAN, cloud networks, and routing issues.
  • Manage routing transitions from static routing to OSPF and BGP across data center, branch, and cloud environments.
  • Work with peers and vendors for escalation but be able to independently diagnose and resolve issues.

Network Architecture & Projects

  • Support major network consolidation projects, including:
  • Hardware replacements
  • Subnetting redesign
  • Segmentation and block-policy implementations
  • Participate in designing new network layout, routing models, and cloud extensions.
  • Assist in integrating AWS/Azure environments with SD-WAN and BGP/OSPF-based routing.
  • Support the expansion of SD-WAN (Versa) across sites and cloud gateways.

Cloud Networking

  • Configure and maintain networking components in:
  • AWS (VPCs, BGP, routing, transit gateways)
  • Azure (VNets, routing, firewalls)
  • Work with cloud teams to ensure consistent routing, segmentation, and security posture across hybrid environments.

Vendor Technologies & Tooling

  • Operate within a primary vendor stack:
  • Fortinet FortiGate firewalls
  • FortiSwitches / Forti network ecosystem
  • Versa SD-WAN
  • Extreme Switches and wireless
  • Help improve configurations, optimize deployment patterns, and introduce best practices based on prior experience.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

  • Contribute to high-quality documentation for network sites, configurations, and operational procedures.
  • Ensure newcomers, peers, and engineers can easily understand the environment using your documentation.

Collaboration & Support

  • Work closely with senior engineers and architecture teams.
  • Support remote and onsite teams when network issues arise.
  • Provide occasional onsite presence (1–2 days/week when required).

Required Skills & Experience

Core Technical Skills

  • Strong hands-on experience with Routing Protocols – OSPF and BGP.
  • Experience with firewalls, switches, and security policies.
  • Good understanding of subnetting, segmentation, route design, and TCP/IP fundamentals.
  • Hands-on experience with Fortinet FortiGate firewalls (must-have).
  • Working knowledge of SD-WAN (Versa experience is a strong plus).
  • Cloud networking experience in:
  • AWS (BGP integration, routing, connectivity)
  • Azure (VNet design, routing)

Troubleshooting & Operations

  • Ability to independently troubleshoot complex network issues across on-prem and cloud environments.
  • Experience supporting multi-site enterprise networks.

Experience Level

  • 3–7 years of hands-on network engineering experience (flexible based on capability).
  • Prior ownership of end-to-end network tasks rather than ticket-driven L1/L2 support.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Certification(s):
  • Fortinet NSE4/NSE5
  • CCNA/CCNP (or equivalent routing/switching certifications)
  • AWS/Azure cloud certifications (nice to have)
  • Prior experience with:
  • Large-scale network transitions or consolidation
  • Multi-region cloud network designs
  • Fortinet + Versa SD-WAN deployments

---

Soft Skills

  • Strong individual contributor mindset—able to take ownership without constant direction.
  • Proactive in problem-solving, design suggestions, and improving network setups.
  • Strong documentation skills.
  • Excellent communication, especially for cross-team collaboration.
  • Willingness to learn new technologies and adapt to rapid infra changes.

---

Location Requirement

  • India-based candidates only.
  • Hyderabad strongly preferred.
  • Occasional onsite work at the Hyderabad vendor facility (2 days/week eventually, not immediately).
  • Fixed US time-based shift (8AM – 5 PM US Central Time)

Work Model

  • Contractor role
  • Mix of remote + periodic onsite (Hyderabad)
  • Immediate joiners preferred due to project delays and backlog
