Sr. Data Center Network Engineer

IS3 Solutions

Senior Data Center Network Engineer

Overview

We are seeking a Senior Data Center Network Engineer with 10+ years of enterprise and data center networking experience to support the structured decommissioning of brownfield data center infrastructure. The right candidate has deep hands-on experience with Cisco platforms, multi-vendor environments, and has personally executed device retirements - not just supervised them.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct network audits to identify devices targeted for decommissioning
  • Back up configurations, VLAN databases, and routing tables prior to any retirement activity
  • Design and execute traffic migration strategies to reroute services before decommissioning
  • Decommission routers, switches, and firewalls; update network diagrams and topology documentation accordingly
  • Migrate legacy platforms (e.g., Catalyst 6500, Brocade) to modern infrastructure (Nexus 7K/5K/2K) as part of consolidation efforts
  • Lead terminal server consolidation and streamline out-of-band access methods
  • Perform post-migration validation (PAT/NRFU) to confirm service continuity
  • Operate within change-controlled environments with CAB approval processes
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to coordinate decommission timelines
Required Technical Skills
  • Routing protocols: OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, MPLS
  • Switching: VLANs, VTP, STP/MSTP, EtherChannel, vPC, VDC, OTV
  • Cisco Nexus (9K, 7K, 5K, 2K), Catalyst (6500, 9300, 4500), ASR routers
  • Cisco ACI - Spine-Leaf architecture, fabric path, legacy integration
  • Juniper MX/EX switches and routers a plus
  • F5 BIG-IP LTM/GTM experience a plus
  • EVPN, VXLAN, data center fabric technologies
  • Python scripting and/or Ansible for configuration auditing and automation
  • NMS tools: SolarWinds, CiscoWorks, or equivalent
  • Proficient in network diagramming (Visio or equivalent)
Certifications
  • CCNP required (Enterprise or Data Center track)
  • CCIE Data Center strongly preferred
  • PMP or ITIL Foundation a plus
