Your Job :

As a Senior SD-WAN Engineer at Koch, your primary goal is to move the organization away from rigid, legacy hardware and toward a fluid, software-defined ecosystem. You aren't just "fixing routers" you are the architect of a global fabric that connects branches, data centers, and multi-cloud environments (AWS/Azure/Alkira) into one seamless, secure entity.

This role will be instrumental in designing, implementing, and managing solutions that protect enterprise users, applications, and data in a modern, cloud & on-prem environment. The engineer will work closely with architecture, security, operations, and vendors to ensure high-quality, scalable, and secure access.

Our Team :

The KOCH Infrastructure team provides reliable, flexible, and secure connectivity solutions that enable business solutions and perpetual transformation. We manage network and network security infrastructure, including wide area networking, local area networking, wireless, firewalls, datacentre networking, load balancing, endpoint security, and proxies.

What Will You Do :

- Design & Standards Leadership : You don't just follow templates; you build them. You'll be responsible for developing new global standards for the network, creating high-level designs (HLD), and ensuring every site rollout follows a clean, documented blueprint (LLD).

- Cisco & Meraki Mastery : You'll live in the "Command Centers" - Cisco vManage for the complex Viptela enterprise sites and the Meraki Dashboard for lean branch deployments.

- The Wireless Experience : Beyond the WAN, you'll own the Meraki Wireless environment.

- Deep-Dive Routing : You'll need a master-level understanding of BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP to ensure that traffic flows correctly between your new SD-WAN tunnels and existing legacy circuits.

- Security Integration & SOC Collaboration : You'll bridge the gap between Networking and Security, deploying and managing Palo Alto, Cisco FTD, and FortiGate firewalls.

- Cloud & Next-Gen Connectivity : You'll lead the "Cloud On-Ramp" strategy, connecting to AWS Transit Gateways, Azure Virtual WAN, or using Alkira.

- Full-Stack Troubleshooting : When things break, you're the "Level 3" expert for the entire Cisco stack.

- Automating the Boring Stuff : You'll use Python or Ansible to automate repetitive tasks.

Tech Stack :

- SD-WAN : Cisco (Viptela), Meraki.

- Security : Palo Alto, Cisco FTD, Fortinet, IPsec/SSL protocols.

- Cloud : AWS, Azure, Alkira.

- Infrastructure : Cisco Catalyst (LAN), Meraki & Cisco Wireless.

- DevOps : Python, Ansible, API-based automation.

- Observability : Splunk, Grafana, LogicMonitor.
