The Opportunity..

As a Principal Network Engineer at Commvault, you will not just sit in an ivory

tower drawing diagrams'. We are looking for a Player-Coach—a technical

heavyweight who possesses the vision to architect a global network and the grit

to build and troubleshoot it personally.

This role is defined by Deep Execution. You will own the full lifecycle of our

global connectivity fabric, from the initial whiteboarding of a Zero Trust

framework to the hands-on configuration of the solution and the resolution of

complex multi-cloud routing issues. If you are a high-level architect who has

moved away from the CLI, this is not the role for you; we need a leader who

stays "close to the packets" while guiding our long-term technical strategy.

What You'll Do...

1. Hands-On Technical Leadership & Execution

* Build & Deploy: Take primary responsibility for the "First Build." You will

lead the hands-on implementation of global SD-WAN and Cloud nodes, ensuring

the transition from design to production is flawless.

* Deep-Dive Troubleshooting: Act as the ultimate technical escalation point.

When Tier-3 hits a wall, you dive into the logs, PCAPs, and routing tables

to identify and fix the root cause.

* Network-as-Code: Personally develop and maintain Terraform and

Ansible playbooks to automate the global environment, ensuring you are

driving the execution of automation, not just suggesting it.

1. Multi-Cloud & SD-WAN Sovereignty

* GCP & Azure Execution: Physically build and manage the transit gateways,

VPC/VNet peering, and Cloud Interconnects that power our multi-cloud

ecosystem.

* SD-WAN Mastery: Take the lead in configuring Prisma Access and NGFWs. You

will own the policy engine, hands-on, ensuring security is baked into every

route and interface.

* Zero Trust Integration: Move beyond the "Zero Trust" buzzword by executing

the actual micro-segmentation and identity-based access controls across our

hybrid footprint.

1. Security & Edge Engineering

* Zscaler and Firewall Expert: Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for

Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) and Zero Trust

Network Access (ZTNA). Own the global policy sets, SSL decryption strategies,

and threat prevention profiles.

* Hybrid Connectivity: Manage complex Site-to-Site VPNs, GRE tunnels, and

high-speed interconnects that link our global data centers with public cloud

regions.

1. Mentorship, Leadership & Executive Presence

* Strategic Influence: Partner with the CISO and Director of Infrastructure to

align networking goals with broader business initiatives.

* Technical Mentorship: Lead and upskill a global team of senior and mid-level

engineers. Conduct architectural reviews and set the "gold standard" for

documentation and code-based infrastructure.

* Vendor Management: Lead technical evaluations and QBRs with key partners

(Google, Microsoft, Palo Alto), ensuring Commvault is leveraging the latest

features and optimal pricing.

* Lead by Example: Set the technical standard for the engineering team

by demonstrating best practices in configuration, documentation, and

operational discipline.

* Executive Communication: Translate complex technical "war stories" and

execution hurdles into concise executive summaries for leadership, providing

clear paths for risk mitigation.

1. Automation & Excellence

* Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Champion a "Network-as-Code" mindset using

Terraform, Ansible, or Python to automate repetitive tasks and ensure 100%

configuration consistency.

* Operational Resilience: Own Tier-4 escalations for complex network outages.

Lead Root Cause Analysis (RCA) sessions that translate technical failures

into actionable business improvements.

Who You Are...

* Experience: 12+ years in Network Engineering, with a career path that proves

you have never lost your "hands-on" edge.

* Location: Preferably in New Jersey to help own the hardware in

the corporate data center.

* "In-the-Trenches" Expertise: Proven ability to build, operate, and

troubleshoot complex environments across Palo Alto (PCNSE level), GCP, and

Azure.

* SD-WAN & Zero Trust: Direct experience deploying Zscaler SD-WAN and

implementing ZTNA frameworks in a global enterprise.

* The "Principal" Skillset:

* Expert-level mastery of BGP, EVPN/VXLAN, and stateful firewalling.

* High proficiency in Python or Terraform for infrastructure deployment.

* The ability to command a room of executives while being the most technical

person on a bridge call.

* Communication: Exceptional written and verbal skills. You can explain the

"why" behind a $2M infrastructure investment to a Board of Directors just as

easily as you can debug a packet drop with an engineer.

Preferred Certifications:

* Zscaler: ZTDA or ZTDE

* Cloud: Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer or Azure Network Engineer

Associate (AZ-700).

* General: CCIE (Route/Switch or Security) is highly valued but not required if

equivalent experience is demonstrated.

You’ll love working here because...

* Continuous professional development, product training, and career pathing

* An inclusive company culture, opportunity to join our Employee Groups

* Generous benefits supporting your health, financial security, and work-life

balance

* Employee stock purchase plan (ESPP)
