  • BGP Expertise: Ability to design, configure, and maintain BGP routing across multiple peers, including route reflection, policy controls, and failover scenarios.
  • Network Architecture: Design scalable, redundant ISP-grade networks across core, distribution, and edge layers.
  • Security: Knowledge of securing BGP sessions (MD5 authentication, prefix filtering, RPKI), firewall integration, and DDoS mitigation.
  • Protocols & ISP Operations: OSPF, IS-IS, MPLS, VPNs, QoS, IPv4/IPv6 management, peering agreements, DNS/DHCP/IPAM.

Soft Skills

  • Strong communication skills to explain complex designs to varied stakeholders.
  • Problem-solving mindset for escalations and critical incidents.
  • Background in municipal broadband or public sector networks is a plus.

We are looking for senior-level candidates who have designed and operated provider-grade networks, not just enterprise environments.
