New Era Technology - Network Engineer (Data Center Migration)

• Core Routing & Switching - Strong hands-on experience configuring, deploying, and troubleshooting enterprise-grade routers and switches (e.g., Nexus, IOSXR and IOSXE platforms). • Network Segmentation - Practical experience configuring and managing VRFs (Virtual Routing and Forwarding) and VLANs to support workload isolation during and after migrations. • Data Center Networking - Familiarity with data center network architectures, including spine-leaf topologies and overlay technologies such as Segment routing and EVPN. • Network Security - Solid understanding of ACLs, firewall rule coordination, and security zone concepts relevant to migration traffic flows. • IP Address Management (IPAM) - Proficient in IP address planning, subnetting, re-addressing, and allocation — particularly in the context of migrating workloads between data centers with differing IP schemes. • Network Monitoring & Troubleshooting - Experience using network monitoring tools (e.g., Probers, Wireshark, SNMP-based tools) for pre- and post-migration health checks and rapid issue resolution. • QoS (Quality of Service) - Working knowledge of QoS policies and traffic prioritization, particularly for ensuring critical application performance during migration windows. • Network Automation & Scripting: Familiarity with Python, Ansible, or similar tools for automating repetitive migration tasks such as configuration generation, validation checks, and bulk changes. • Load Balancing: Basic experience with load balancers (e.g., Citrix NetScaler) and understanding of VIP migrations. • Segment Routing: Familiarity with Segment Routing technologies (e.g., SR-MPLS and EVPN) as applicable to data center interconnects. • 5 to 8 years of experience in network engineering, with a meaningful portion focused on data center environments. • Demonstrated experience participating in or supporting data center migrations, consolidations, or large-scale infrastructure moves. • Hands-on experience executing network changes during planned maintenance windows and migration cutovers, including off-hours work as required. • Experience working within structured change management processes. • Proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional technical teams and follow project plans under the direction of senior engineers or project managers. • Experience interacting with third-party vendors and carriers for circuit-related activities. • Execution & Accountability: Ability to take ownership of assigned migration tasks and drive them to completion with moderate supervision, proactively flagging risks and blockers. • Organization & Attention to Detail: Highly organized with meticulous attention to detail — critical for tracking migration waves, IP re-addressing, and configuration accuracy. • Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to provide clear status updates, document migration outcomes, and participate in bridge calls during cutovers. • Problem-Solving: Solid analytical and troubleshooting skills to diagnose and resolve network issues efficiently during time-sensitive migration windows. • Collaboration: Ability to work effectively within a multi-disciplinary migration team (compute, storage, security, applications) and escalate appropriately. • Documentation: Proficient in creating and maintaining comprehensive migration documentation, including network diagrams, runbooks, validation checklists, and post-migration reports. • Adaptability: Comfortable working in dynamic project environments with shifting timelines and priorities; willing to work off-hours during migration cutovers as needed. • Certifications (Preferred): • Cisco Certifications (e.g., CCNA, CCNP Enterprise) • Aruba Certifications (e.g., ACMA, ACMP) • Minimum of Bachelors Degree Required. Preferred Certifications CCNA, CCNP, ACMA, ACMP as per Qualifications. • Mid-to-Senior Level (5-8 years in similar role) • New Era Technology, LLC., and its subsidiaries (“New Era” “we”, “us”, or “our”) in its operating regions worldwide are committed to respecting your privacy and recognize the need for appropriate protection and management of any Personal Data that you may provide us.
