Senior Wired Network Engineer (Design & Implementation – Cisco SD-WAN) We're seeking a highly experienced Wired Network Engineer with both hands-on implementation and network design/architecture expertise to support a large-scale network modernization project across 600+ retail store locations. This role requires a strong blend of strategic network design validation, architecture-level problem-solving, and hands-on implementation in complex enterprise WAN environments leveraging Viptela SD-WAN and Cisco IOS-XE technologies. If you can operate at both architectural and executional levels—designing, validating, and deploying enterprise-grade WAN solutions—this project is for you. What You'll Be Doing

• Lead and execute network upgrades across 600+ distributed retail sites following established design and deployment frameworks
• Design, validate, and refine enterprise network architectures and configuration templates before deployment
• Ensure network solutions align with enterprise standards, scalability, and security best practices
• Implement and optimize configurations on Viptela SD-WAN and Cisco IOS-XE platforms
• Troubleshoot and resolve advanced WAN connectivity and performance issues across hybrid environments
• Collaborate with architecture, operations, and implementation teams to ensure seamless rollout execution
• Provide technical and design guidance to junior engineers and implementation partners
• Document network design decisions, rollout progress, configuration updates, and technical findings

What We're Looking For:

• 7+ years of hands-on network engineering experience in large-scale enterprise environments
• Proven network design and architecture experience (preferably in distributed or multi-site environments)
• Deep expertise in Viptela SD-WAN (design, configuration, and troubleshooting)
• Strong proficiency with Cisco IOS-XE routing and switching
• In-depth understanding of WAN architectures, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), and network performance optimization
• Demonstrated ability to lead network design validation and execute implementation with minimal supervision
• Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills
• Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently in a remote setup

Nice to Have:

• Experience leading large-scale or multi-site network design and upgrade projects
• Background in retail or other distributed enterprise environments
• Certifications such as CCNP Enterprise, CCIE, or Cisco SD-WAN certifications
• Familiarity with network automation/orchestration tools (e.g., Ansible, Python, DNA Center)

Project Details:

• Contract length: 3 months (with potential extension based on project scope and performance)
• Work setup: Fully remote
