  • Lead coordination efforts with telecom carriers, vendors, and cross-functional teams to resolve outages and major incidents efficiently.
  • Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for critical infrastructure events, ensuring findings are documented and lessons learned are applied.
  • Support data center operations, including activities such as racking, cabling, hardware replacement, and managing UPS systems and cooling infrastructure.
  • Develop, maintain, and enhance Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Network Operations Center (NOC) documentation to standardize and streamline operations.
  • Implement network changes in alignment with ITIL-based change management processes, ensuring changes are well-documented, tested, and executed.


Qualifications

Required:
  • Bachelors and five (5) years or more experience; Masters and three (3) years or more experience; PhD and 0 years related experience
  • Proven hands-on experience with Cisco and Juniper network technologies, including routers, switches, and firewalls.
  • Advanced proficiency in network protocols, including ACLs and DHCP/DNS management.
  • Experience with Infoblox IPAM for DNS and DHCP administration.
  • Familiarity with Cisco ISE for authentication and access control.
  • Expertise in monitoring and troubleshooting network performance with tools like SolarWinds, Splunk, and Netcool.
  • Ability to interface with carriers/vendors and foster collaboration during incident resolution processes.
  • Strong understanding of data center best practices and physical infrastructure, including power and cooling systems.
  • Experience in creating detailed SOPs and operational documentation.
  • Knowledge of ITIL framework and experience executing ITIL-based change management.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain public trust clearance.

Preferred:
