Your Position & How You Will Contribute  Reporting to the Manager, Network Engineering, the Core Network Manager will be the hands-on architect and scale owner of the core network according to the design and new build objectives set by the technical leadership. This role demands deep, hands-on expertise with BGP and the Juniper MX routing platform, as well as enough working knowledge of the Service Provider Network to drive optimizations in the Access network and proof-of-concepts in the lab.

The ideal candidate is comfortable with the critical place our internet routing infrastructure has in the organization, while not finding themselves only constrained to the business of tables and peers.
Responsibilities & Key Duties   Core Ownerships & Juniper Configuration:
Understand the as-deployed core infrastructure, own the process of adding new sites and capacity while driving optimizations in process that enable scale and resiliency.
Subject Matter Expert:
Provide key guidance and stay ahead of customer demand through expert knowledge of best routing practices and industry trends
Maintenance Quarterback:
Execute the necessary network maintenance activities from a distance, leveraging remote hands and field operatives to minimize risk and drive project milestones
Own the Outcome:
Drive troubleshooting and incident response actions through not just ownership of the network but by guiding and controlling our actions through proactive documentation and incident planning workshops
What You Bring   Calm Under Fire: A Leader who shows best when the going is toughest - this is the type of excellence we build teams around
Resourceful:
While not a strictly hands-on role, at a small company we all get our hands dirty on occasion. Knowing where to best leverage your actions and call upon others will help you achieve well above average results
Articulate:
Just as the network must translate control plane to forwarding plane, so too must you translate technical requirements to the business and vice versa
Collaborative:
We have a close-knit team that has been covering a large surface. This role supplements that team and with that we welcome you into an environment of performance and curiosity that will ask you to contribute and communicate frequently and meaningfully.
Experience & Technical Expertise   Internet Routing Expert:
You know what to do with a pair or more of full tables, dual-stack
Juniper Fanboy:
Some love it, some don't know they love it yet - we need someone who can drop-in comfortable even if its not been the primary focus of your prior roles
Get's What We're Going For:
Practical Service Provider experience and small teams are not always where Networking experience and leadership skills are gained - but we need you to be able to relate your experience to our goals which may mean stepping into a new frontier
Continuous Learner:
The networking field has had a programming reniassiance to the point where it's often hard to tell the difference. We'd like to see you've kept up with that in the way you approach complex tasks and unfamiliar items.
