and segmentation – to support secure, scalable workloads.

across on-prem and cloud environments.

platforms, including routers, switches, and SD-WAN edge devices.

* Build and maintain network infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code

(Terraform, CloudFormation or equivalent), with version control, peer review,

and automated deployment pipelines.

* Lead network changes through Safe-Guard’s change management process,

including design documentation, peer review, risk assessment, implementation,

validation, and rollback planning.

* Troubleshoot complex, cross-domain network issues spanning on-prem and cloud

environments, and drive root-cause analysis and permanent fixes.

* Develop and maintain network monitoring, alerting, and observability so

issues are detected and resolved before they impact tthe business.

* Partner with the Information Security team to implement and maintain network

security controls, support audits, and remediate findings.

* Document network architecture, standards, runbooks, and operational

procedures, and keep that documentation current as the environment evolves.

* Mentor junior network and infrastructure engineers, conduct design and

configuration reviews, and help raise the technical bar across the team.

* Evaluate new networking technologies, vendors, and approaches, and make clear

recommendations on where Safe-Guard should invest.

Job Requirements

* 10+ years of progressive experience designing and operating enterprise

networks in a mid-to-large environment.

* Deep, hands-on expertise with enterprise routing and switching on Cisco and

Juniper platforms, including BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VLANs, spanning tree, QoS, and

high-availability designs.

* Proven experience designing and operating multi-site WAN environments,

including SD-WAN.

* Strong experience designing, configuring, and operating Palo Alto firewalls,

including security policy, NAT, VPN (site-to-site and remote access), and

centralized management.

* Hands-on experience designing and operating cloud networking, with the

ability to translate enterprise networking concepts into cloud-native

designs.

* Demonstrated ability to lead network projects end-to-end – from requirements

and design through implementation, validation, and operational handoff.

the discipline to drive issues to root cause.

Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar tooling, with Git-based workflows and

CI/CD pipelines.

* Experience with Palo Alto Panorama for centralized firewall management for

SASE / cloud-delivered security.

* Scripting and automation skills in Python (or similar) for network

operations, configuration, and reporting.
