Network Engineer III

The Network Engineer III is a senior technical role responsible for the implementation, ongoing management, and optimization of enterprise network infrastructure. This role combines deep hands-on engineering expertise driving stability, performance, security, and operational excellence. In addition, this position provides solution engineer ownership for integrations between network platforms and enterprise services/tools (e.g., automation pipelines, monitoring/observability, ticketing/ITSM, identity, and security tooling) to enable scalable operations and better end-to-end service outcomes. Core responsibilities reflect Network Engineer III scope (enterprise routing/switching, operations, documentation, process improvement, and security enhancements).

Network Engineering (Enterprise Core)

• Lead the implementation of complex network solutions (LAN/WAN/WLAN and related services) ensuring scalability, resilience, and security.
• Serve as an escalation point for complex incidents; drive root cause analysis and durable corrective actions.
• Develop and maintain architecture documentation (diagrams, configurations, procedures) and ensure high-quality implementation readiness.
• Define and use network capacity models, performance metrics, and operational reporting to support continuous improvement.
• Coordinate complex network changes, upgrades, and migrations with minimal disruption; ensure strong change discipline and communications.

Juniper Engineering

• Provide technical ownership for Juniper network environments, including troubleshooting, lifecycle planning, and operational stability in enterprise settings. (Multi-vendor experience is valuable, but Juniper is preferred.)

Network Automation

• Design and deliver network automation to reduce operational complexity (e.g., configuration provisioning, compliance validation, automated remediation, and repeatable deployment methods).
• Establish automation standards and reusable patterns to accelerate delivery and improve reliability (e.g., gold templates, validation gates, automated rollback approaches).

Solution Architecture for Integrations

• Act as solution engineer for integrations between network services and enterprise tools/platforms, ensuring end-to-end operational workflows are scalable and supportable (examples: monitoring/telemetry pipelines, configuration/compliance systems, ITSM/ticketing, CMDB asset integrity, security event workflows, and identity-driven access control).
• Ensure engineering decisions support operational outcomes: observability, auditability, resilience, and reduced mean time to restore.

Security & Service Enablement

• Interface with customer and stakeholder teams to design and continuously deliver security-related enhancements.
• Support implementation of network security best practices and alignment with security teams and policies.

Project & Process Excellence

• Contribute across the full lifecycle of global network projects, including planning, coordination with procurement/logistics/resource planning, and ensuring documentation is complete and usable.
• Review and tailor processes to ensure they are lean and fit-for-purpose; drive standardization and continuous improvement.

Required Qualifications

• Significant progressive experience in enterprise network engineering within complex environments (engineering, operations, and troubleshooting).
• Juniper experience in enterprise routing and switching environments.
• Network automation experience delivering automated methods that reduce operational complexity and improve reliability.
• Strong foundation in routing and switching concepts and enterprise troubleshooting; multi-vendor networking experience is beneficial.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; documentation discipline and attention to detail.
• Ability to work outside regular hours when necessary (change windows, critical incidents).

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Experience with DNS and related enterprise network services (DHCP, IPAM).
• Experience with security tooling and processes (e.g., segmentation, firewall policy alignment, SASE/SSE concepts, security event workflows).
• Experience with Active Directory (AD) and identity services, and how identity integrates with network access controls (nice-to-have per your request).
• Experience producing implementation documentation, runbooks, and improving operational processes.

Competencies

• Technical leadership and strong operational judgment.
• Systems thinking and engineering mindset for end-to-end integrations.
• Automation-first approach to improving reliability and reducing toil.
• Stakeholder management and cross-team collaboration.
• Coaching and talent development.
