What is remote network observability?

Remote network observability refers to the ability to monitor, analyze, and troubleshoot network performance and security issues from a remote location. It involves collecting and visualizing data about network traffic, device health, and application performance to ensure optimal operation and quick identification of problems. This is especially important for organizations with distributed networks or remote workforces, as it enables IT teams to maintain oversight without being on-site.

Position Overview
The Senior Network Engineer is the primary technical owner for our enterprise-wide network, bridging the gap between our physical retail footprint and our cloud presence. This role is responsible for the design, security, and continuous improvement of infrastructure across Google Cloud (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and our on-premise locations. As a leader within the NetDevOps team, you will drive the transition from manual configuration to Infrastructure as Code (IaC). This is an "evolution-focused" role: we don't just maintain the network; we improve it through automation and strict observability.

  • Security & Compliance: Maintain the security perimeter on Palo Alto Firewalls, performing quarterly ruleset audits and ensuring PCI-DSS compliance across the retail environment.
  • Automation Strategy: Build and maintain Ansible playbooks to automate firmware updates, configuration backups, and repetitive operational tasks.
  • Observability: Own the Zabbix monitoring platform; ensure "No alert without an owner" by managing templates, integrations, and performance tuning.
  • Documentation & "Source of Truth": Maintain NetBox as the single source of truth for the network. Ensure all diagrams (Lucidchart) and runbooks (Notion) are updated within a 3-5 business day SLO.
  • Incident Leadership: Lead Sev1/Sev2 incident response and coordinate Post-Incident Reviews (PIRs) within 3 business days of resolution.
  • Governance: Actively participate in the Change Advisory Board (CAB) to discuss, and review major infrastructure changes.

What We're Looking For:
  • Experience: 7+ years of relevant work experience in network engineering.
  • Technical Requirement: Hands-on professional experience with Google Cloud (GCP) and Terraform (IaC) is required.
  • Required Certification: CCNA or similar
  • Preferred Certifications: CCNP or PCNSA/PCNSE.
  • Education: 4-year degree is preferred.
  • Network Stack: Expertise in Palo Alto (Panorama), Cisco Meraki (MX/MR/MS), and classic Cisco IOS/NX/OS.
  • Automation: High proficiency in Terraform and GitHub; experience with Ansible is a significant plus.
  • Protocols: Advanced knowledge of BGP, OSPF, VLANs, and network segmentation.
  • Tooling: Familiarity with NetBox, Unimus, and Zabbix.
