  • Architect resilient L2/L3 topologies for aggregation and backbone layers.
  • Lead IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack strategy and deployment.

FTTH & Access Network Engineering
  • Design and support FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) GPON/XGS-PON environments.
  • Configure and manage Adtran OLTs, aggregation platforms, and access systems.
  • Support subscriber provisioning models and service delivery frameworks.
  • Collaborate with outside plant (OSP) and field engineering teams.

Routing & Switching (Arista Focus)
  • Deploy and support Arista switching and routing platforms in core and aggregation roles.
  • Implement EVPN/VxLAN where applicable.
  • Optimize traffic engineering, QoS, and multicast routing.

ISP Operations & Optimization
  • Support upstream providers, IX peering, and transit relationships.
  • Perform traffic capacity planning and bandwidth forecasting.
  • Lead root cause analysis of network outages and performance incidents.
  • Develop monitoring, alerting, and performance visibility standards.
  • Participate in Tier 3 escalation and on-call rotation.

Automation & Documentation
  • Drive automation initiatives (Python, Ansible, etc.).
  • Maintain accurate network diagrams, IP schema, and routing policies.
  • Develop operational runbooks and engineering standards.

    • Extensive experience with:
    - Adtran platforms (OLT, aggregation, access equipment)
    - Arista switches and routers
    - FTTH architecture and subscriber networks
    • Deep expertise in:
    - BGP (iBGP, eBGP, route reflectors)
    - OSPF and/or IS-IS
    - MPLS (L2VPN/L3VPN preferred)
    - VLAN, QinQ, QoS
    - Multicast (PIM)
    • Experience with ISP edge routing and peering design.
    • Strong troubleshooting skills in production networks serving large subscriber bases.
    • Experience designing high-availability and redundant architectures.

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with GPON and XGS-PON design.
• Familiarity with BRAS/BNG architectures.
