What is software defined networking (SDN)?

Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a network architecture approach that separates the control plane from the data plane in networking equipment. This means that the network intelligence and policy-making are centralized in a software-based SDN controller, rather than being distributed across individual hardware devices. SDN allows for easier network management, programmability, and automation, making it possible to quickly adapt to changing business needs and optimize network resources. Organizations use SDN to improve network efficiency, reduce operational costs, and enable innovation in network services.

What is the difference between Software Defined Networking vs Network Engineer?

AspectSoftware Defined NetworkingNetwork Engineer
Primary FocusAutomating and centralizing network management through softwareDesigning, implementing, and maintaining physical and virtual networks
Required SkillsNetworking protocols, virtualization, scripting, software developmentNetworking protocols, hardware configuration, troubleshooting
CertificationsCisco CCNA/CCNP, VMware, Cisco DevNetCCNA, CCNP, CompTIA Network+
Work EnvironmentData centers, cloud environments, software development teamsCorporate offices, data centers, client sites

While Software Defined Networking focuses on software-based network management and automation, Network Engineers handle the physical and virtual network infrastructure. Both roles require networking knowledge, but SDN emphasizes programming and software skills, whereas Network Engineers focus on hardware and network configuration.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in software defined networking (SDN)?

Professionals in Software Defined Networking often encounter challenges such as integrating SDN solutions with existing legacy infrastructure, ensuring network security in dynamically programmable environments, and keeping up with rapidly evolving protocols and technologies. Collaboration between network engineers, software developers, and IT security teams is critical for successful deployment and management of SDN systems. Staying current with industry standards and effective troubleshooting are also important daily aspects of the role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a software defined networking (SDN) engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Software Defined Networking (SDN) Engineer, you need a strong background in computer networking, programming (such as Python or Java), and a relevant degree in computer science, information technology, or a related field. Familiarity with SDN controllers (like OpenDaylight or ONOS), virtualization platforms, and certifications such as Cisco CCNP or equivalent are highly valued. Excellent problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills help set professionals apart in designing and managing complex, dynamic networks. These skills and qualifications are vital for building scalable, automated networks that support business agility and innovation.

Job description

Exciting opportunity to be eligible for a $2,500 bonus when you join our team.

As a Business Sales Representative - Territory Accounts, you will own a defined local geography and focus on creating new business with small and mid-sized companies. This is an acquisition sales role built for a motivated outside seller who is comfortable with various prospecting strategies including cold calling and walking into businesses to set appointments that will then be used to work with the customer to identify their challenges and create solutions to solve your customer's problems. You will spend most of your time in the market identifying these opportunities, meeting business owners and decision-makers, and positioning the right AT&T solutions.

Earn with confidence and upside. This role offers a competitive base salary as well as performance-based commissions tied directly to your sales results. At 100% of target, annual earnings range from $88,100 to $137,600. Earnings ramp as you build your customer opportunities, develop new customer relationships, and consistently close new business. Your income is directly correlated to your activity, execution, quota performance, and the strength of your sales pipeline.

What you'll do day to day:

  • Balance field and office collaboration: Sales employees will concentrate on acquiring new business and conducting customer meetings most often, at the customer location. When not in the field, sales employees are expected to collaborate with their team from their assigned office location and place of work.
  • Prospect for new logos: Identify and pursue new business through customer prospect lists that will be provided and will enable the seller to cold call door knock, and email. The seller will also be able to leverage in-person customer meetings, work referrals, networking, and local market research.
  • Set appointments and create a pipeline: Build a consistent approach of customer outreach, qualify prospects, schedule customer meetings, and advance opportunities through the sales process.
  • Own your territory: Manage a defined geographic territory, prioritize target accounts, understand local business needs, and execute a market plan that supports consistent quota attainment.
  • Sell a broad business portfolio: Position AT&T solutions across wireless, fiber, internet, voice, software defined networking and cybersecurity.
  • Serve multiple customer segments: Engage small and mid-sized businesses across vertical industries such as retail, professional services, healthcare, construction, logistics, hospitality, and local multi-site operators.
  • Manage the full sales cycle: Move opportunities from prospecting and discovery through proposal, negotiation, close, implementation handoff, and follow-up.
  • Maintain disciplined CRM activity: Record calls, visits, appointments, opportunities, next steps, and forecast updates accurately and consistently.

What you'll bring:

  • 2-5 years of quota carrying outside acquisition sales experience is ideal.
  • Demonstrated success acquiring new business sales through prospecting, cold calling, referrals, appointment setting, and disciplined follow-up with both customers and in Salesforce.
  • Comfort spending significant time in the field visiting businesses, initiating conversations, and building relationships with owners, operators, and decision-makers.
  • Strong business acumen with the ability to uncover customer needs and connect them to AT&T's product and solution portfolio.
  • Confidence handling objections, negotiating, asking for the sale, and advancing opportunities toward close.
  • Self-disciplined work style and the ability to manage daily activity, Salesforce updates, pipeline health, and quota expectations.
  • Ability to collaborate with the team from the assigned office location, if available, when not acquiring new business or conducting customer visits in the field.
  • Valid driver's license, satisfactory driving record, current auto insurance, and reliable transportation to support field-based selling.

Selling for AT&T means bringing a recognized brand, broad product portfolio, and established business reputation into every customer conversation. You will receive paid training, sales support, coaching, and access to tools that help you build pipeline and grow your book of business. For sellers who consistently perform, this role creates a path into larger territories, advanced sales roles, account management, leadership opportunities, and long-term career across AT&T.
