Description :
- Network Engineer Cisco - The Cisco Network Engineer will design, implement, and maintain enterprise network infrastructures using Cisco technologies.
- Responsibilities include configuring routers, switches, firewalls, and wireless controllers; implementing VLANs, ACLs, QoS, and routing protocols (EIGRP, OSPF, BGP).
- The engineer will ensure network resilience through redundancy, load balancing, and failover solutions (HSRP / VRRP).
- Proficiency in network monitoring tools (SolarWinds, Cisco DNA Center), troubleshooting using packet captures, and firmware management is required.
- Experience with VPNs (site-to-site, SSL), Cisco ASA / Firepower firewalls, SD-WAN, and integration with cloud connectivity (ExpressRoute, Direct Connect) is preferred.
- Knowledge of network segmentation, NAC, and Zero Trust principles is a plus.
