## Description

As a Senior Network Engineer, you participate in the implementation and support of complex hybrid network infrastructures across global environments.

This role demands a strategic mindset and deep technical expertise to deliver high-impact projects that align with enterprise security standards, performance optimization goals, and scalability requirements.

You will help define and drive the evolution of IQVIA's global network ecosystem transforming it into a programmable, automated, and platform-agnostic infrastructure.

**Key Responsibilities**

- Support SDN solutions, focusing on Cisco ACI across multiple data centers.

- Integrate AI-driven network monitoring and predictive analytics.

- Serve as a senior technical advisor to Tier 2 engineers, providing mentorship and consultation.

- Provide expert-level support during major incidents, including root cause analysis and resolution planning.

- Translate Global Network Support (GNS) standards into actionable low-level designs, including hardware quoting and documentation.

- Partner with Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A) and Global Real Estate teams to integrate new acquisitions into IQVIA's network standards.

- Lead network buildouts, office restack implementations, and refresh initiatives.

- Lead strategic network projects across departments, regions, and time zones.

- Automate implementations across platforms:

- Generate and deploy F5 configurations, Palo Alto firewall rules, and Cisco ACI policies through Ansible, Python, Terraform, and/or API-driven automation.

- Implement CI/CD pipelines to validate and roll out network and security changes safely and repeatably.

- Implement and support network segmentation strategies for zero-trust architectures and compliance mandates.

- Oversee incident response and escalation workflows, ensuring timely resolution and stakeholder communication.

- Maintain DNS (BIND), IPAM, and domain name services across enterprise environments with automation-first principles.

- Support branch office automation initiatives using Cisco DNA Center and other vendor platforms.

**Required Skills and Expertise**

- Extensive experience with software-defined networking technologies (Cisco ACI, SoNIC, Cumulus Linux, or equivalent).

- In-depth understanding of Linux networking, kernel-based switching, and open-source routing stacks (FRR, BIRD, and Quagga).

- Proven experience developing and deploying infrastructure-as-code for network and security platforms (Ansible, Terraform, Git, YAML, JSON).

- Experience automating configurations and policy enforcement across Cisco ACI and DNA Center, F5 load balancers, and Palo Alto firewalls.

- Proficiency in routing and overlay technologies (BGP, EIGRP, VXLAN/EVPN, OSPF, etc) and switching.

- Experience in SDWAN deployments and support.

- Understanding of network segmentation, zero-trust access, and security frameworks.

- Familiarity with cloud networking platforms including AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute, and hybrid/on-prem cloud solutions.

- Experience with packet capture analysis, network monitoring, performance tuning, and capacity planning.

- Strong organizational and communication skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders.

- Ability to foster effective working relationships across global teams and drive consensus in complex environments.

**Qualifications**

- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Information Systems, or equivalent practical experience.

- Minimum of 7 years of progressive experience in network engineering, architecture, and support.

- Minimum of 3 years hands-on experience with software-defined networking, Linux, and infrastructure as code methodologies.
