Data Center Network Engineer

Join our Network Engineering team at Snapp and play a pivotal role in building and sustaining the backbone infrastructure that powers mission-critical production services across multiple data centers and cloud environments. You will work alongside a talented cross-functional team to design, automate, and continuously improve highly available, resilient network systems at scale.

• Design, implement, and continuously improve scalable and resilient network architectures, including modern IP Fabric and VXLAN-based environments.

• Automate network infrastructure using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) principles; contribute to CI/CD-driven network operations workflows.

• Ensure high availability, performance, and security across all routing and switching layers.

• Proactively detect, troubleshoot, and conduct deep root cause analysis for complex networking incidents in production environments.

• Collaborate closely with Security, Cloud, Database, and DevOps teams to deliver reliable and secure hybrid infrastructure solutions.

• Produce and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including High-Level Designs (HLD), Low-Level Designs (LLD), runbooks, and change management procedures.

• Participate in a 24×7 on-call rotation to support business-critical infrastructure.

• 4+ years of hands-on experience in network engineering within large-scale production environments.

• Strong expertise in modern data center networking architectures, including VXLAN, BGP EVPN, SD-WAN, and IP Fabric designs.

• Deep understanding of routing and switching protocols: BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, VRF, MPLS, VLAN, and STP.

• Hands-on experience with Cisco Nexus platforms (NX-OS) or comparable enterprise data center switching technologies.

• Proven troubleshooting skills across L2/L3 connectivity in hybrid cloud network environments.

• Practical experience with IaC and automation tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Python, and REST APIs.

• Solid understanding of network security fundamentals: ACLs, segmentation, firewall integration, hardening, and routing policies.

• Familiarity with network monitoring, observability, and performance analysis tooling.

• Ability to clearly document and communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Strong ownership mindset, attention to detail, and a structured approach to problem-solving.

• Hands-on experience leading or participating in data center transformation projects, such as migrations from legacy infrastructure to VXLAN-based fabrics.

• Experience operating and managing multi-region or multi-data center environments.

• Proficiency in cloud networking.

• Experience designing and maintaining automation pipelines using GitOps or CI/CD methodologies for network change management.

• Background in network security engineering or a track record of close collaboration with security teams.
