About the Role




This is a senior-level, advanced engineering role requiring a minimum of 7 years of hands-on experience in network design, routing & switching, and SD-WAN technologies.

We're looking for a hands-on network design expert with a solid foundation in routing, switching, and SD-WAN who thrives in a dynamic, customer-facing environment.


Certifications in networking and SDWAN domains highly valued.
