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.\nThe 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.\nThis 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.\nWithin this domain, the Head of Network Engineering:\nDefines the long-term architecture roadmap for the service provider network ecosystem\n\nEstablishes technical standards and engineering principles across routing, transport, aggregation and security domains\n\nEnsures architectural consistency between backbone, access, transport and infrastructure security environments\n\nDefines scalability and resiliency strategies for infrastructure growth\n\nGuides technical decisions related to routing architecture, transport evolution and infrastructure expansion\n\nDrives engineering standardization across multi-vendor environments\n\nPromotes automation-first operational models to improve scalability, consistency and deployment velocity\n\nCollaborates closely with Automation, Operations, Expansion and Infrastructure teams\n\nSupports the evolution of provisioning, validation and infrastructure lifecycle methodologies\n\nDrives documentation, engineering discipline and operational reproducibility across the organization\n\nMentors and develops senior engineering talent across multiple technical domains\n\nThis role is not focused on operating isolated technologies. It is focused on designing scalable and operationally sustainable service provider infrastructure systems.\nAbout You\nYou are someone comfortable operating across complex service provider environments where routing scale, resiliency, convergence and operational scalability are critical.\nYou think beyond isolated technologies and understand how architectural decisions impact long-term operational sustainability, deployment velocity and business growth.\nYou are expected to operate with high autonomy and influence technical direction across multiple engineering domains.\nYou should demonstrate strong expertise across:\nService Provider Routing and Backbone Architecture\nBGP architecture and routing policy design\n\nIS-IS and OSPF in large-scale backbone environments\n\nMPLS and traffic engineering\n\nRoute reflectors and control-plane scaling\n\nInterconnection and peering architectures\n\nAccess and Aggregation Networks\nMetro Ethernet environments\n\nLayer 2 and Layer 3 integration\n\nSubscriber edge and aggregation architectures\n\nRedundancy and deterministic forwarding models\n\nOptical Transport Infrastructure\nDWDM and OTN architectures\n\nTransport resiliency and capacity scaling\n\nBackbone transport integration\n\nInfrastructure Security\nInfrastructure firewall architectures\n\nSegmentation and policy enforcement\n\nAdministrative access and AAA systems\n\nSecure infrastructure design principles\n\nAutomation and Operational Scalability\nInfrastructure automation mindset\n\nPython, APIs or infrastructure automation frameworks\n\nStandardization and deployment reproducibility\n\nAutomation-first operational models\n\nInfrastructure lifecycle operationalization\n\nInfrastructure Reliability and Scalability\nLarge-scale multi-vendor network environments\n\nDeterministic infrastructure design\n\nOperational simplification and maintainability\n\nTroubleshooting complex multi-domain infrastructure issues\n\nThis role requires deep service provider expertise combined with strong systems thinking and operational engineering discipline.\nRequired Qualifications\nStrong experience designing and evolving large-scale service provider infrastructure environments\n\nCCIE/JNCIE-level expertise or equivalent real-world architectural depth\n\nDeep understanding of IP/MPLS backbone architectures and routing ecosystems\n\nStrong understanding of transport, aggregation and infrastructure networking domains\n\nExperience defining infrastructure standards and architectural principles\n\nStrong automation mindset focused on scaling network operations and infrastructure consistency\n\nExperience operating large-scale multi-vendor environments\n\nStrong troubleshooting and infrastructure problem-solving capabilities\n\nExperience guiding technical decisions across engineering organizations\n\nStrong documentation, standardization and operational rigor\n\nAbility to operate in fast-moving infrastructure growth environments\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience with automation frameworks and infrastructure APIs\n\nExperience scaling operational models in large service provider networks\n\nFamiliarity with CI/CD or infrastructure lifecycle automation practices\n\nExperience with optical transport scaling strategies\n\nExposure to infrastructure security and segmentation architectures\n\nExperience supporting multi-site or multi-data-center service provider environments\n\nFamiliarity with telemetry, observability or infrastructure monitoring systems\n\nExperience leading engineering standardization initiatives across organizations\n\nWhat We Value\nDeep service provider engineering mindset\n\nStrong ownership and architectural accountability\n\nPragmatic engineering and operational realism\n\nBuilders who value operational scalability through automation\n\nSystems thinkers capable of connecting architecture with operational execution\n\nEngineering rigor, documentation discipline and standardization\n\nCuriosity and continuous learning\n\nLeaders who understand that operational simplicity is an architectural
