L3 Network Engineer: Strategy & Technical Leadership

Objective: To provide expert-level technical oversight, lead complex migration strategies, and act as the final escalation point for critical network incidents.

Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Leadership: Lead large-scale migration projects and complex deployments, acting as the technical authority during critical cutover windows.

• Technical Oversight (MW): Provide "on-call" support during night-time maintenance windows; review and approve MOPs for high-risk activities.

• RCA & Optimization: Conduct deep-dive Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for complex outages and implement preventative measures.

• Automation & Mentorship: Develop Python/Ansible scripts to automate deployment tasks and mentor L2 engineers on advanced routing and troubleshooting techniques.

Required Skills:

• 6–10 years of experience in large-scale service provider environments.

• Expert-level knowledge of MPLS-TE, Segment Routing, and high-availability design.

• Strong project management mindset with the ability to lead cross-functional teams during critical night-time deployments.

Core Expectations for Both Roles

• Sustainable High Performance: Commitment to maintaining network stability while meeting aggressive deployment timelines.

• Shift Flexibility: Availability to support night-time maintenance windows as per the project schedule.

• Documentation Excellence: Every deployment must be supported by a validated MOP and concluded with updated configuration audits.

• Collaboration: Active participation in bridge calls and seamless communication between night-shift execution and day-shift planning teams.
