Ready to build the future of hybrid onprem and cloud networking? We're seeking a Senior Network Engineer with a passion for designing and deploying high-performance networks. If you have deep expertise with Arista EOS and CloudVision, and a proven track record of modernizing legacy infrastructure, you're exactly who we're looking for. In this role, you won't just maintain networks; you'll be a technical leader, driving innovation and shaping our network architecture. You'll work with the latest technologies like Spine-and-Leaf, VxLAN, EVPN, and BGP, and use your Python scripting skills to automate everything you can. This is your chance to be a key contributor to a critical scientific mission to improve health and advance medical breakthroughs.

  • Architect and Deploy: Design and implement cutting-edge, high-performance network architectures, with a focus on Spine-and-Leaf designs.
  • Master Arista: Leverage your deep knowledge of Arista's Extensible Operating System (EOS) and CloudVision platform.
  • Manage F5: Configure and maintain F5 BIG-IP platforms, including virtual servers, pools, and iRules.
  • Automate Everything: Use Python and other Linux tools to automate network management and streamline operations.
  • Lead the Way: Act as a technical leader, mentoring team members, handling complex issues, and serving as a subject matter expert.
  • Modernize and Support: Evolve our legacy networks for cloud-native environments and provide expert support to resolve complex network issues.
  • Load Balanced Application Delivery: Implement load balancing strategies (e.g., round robin, least connections) to optimize application performance and ensure high availability.
  • High Availability: Setting up and manage Arista and F5 device clusters in active/standby or active/active configurations to provide failover capabilities.
  • AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting): Strong knowledge of AAA frameworks for network access control. Hands-on experience configuring and managing TACACS+, Radius for device administration security in Cisco ICE.
  • Network Hardware Lifecycle Management: Responsible for all network device patching, including security fixes and OS updates. Track device vendor support timelines and manage end of life transitions to updated hardware models.
  • Network Monitoring: Monitor network traffic and alerts for proactive management and capacity planning. Provide up to date network metrics to all technical teams for better product development and troubleshooting.
Qualifications

Qualifications Required
  • 10+ years of hands-on experience in network engineering.
  • A CCIE or similar advanced networking certification is a plus.
  • Strong experience with Arista EOS/CloudVision and F5 BIG-IP.
  • Expertise in protocols like BGP, OSPF, VxLAN, and EVPN.
  • Proficiency in Python scripting and network automation.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently.
