This includes architecting and deploying large-scale networks for global service providers and cloud operators, with expertise in :
  • Network Design and Operations : Designing and operationalizing expansive IP / MPLS-based networks across Core, Access, Metro, and Edge domains, incorporating MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE) for optimized path selection and bandwidth utilization.
  • Datacenter Fabrics : Engineering hyperscale AI center IP Fabrics, EVPN / VXLAN-based overlays for multi-tenancy, and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) solutions to enable seamless workload mobility and hybrid cloud integrations.
  • Overlay and Tunneling Protocols : In-depth knowledge of MP-BGP for route distribution, EVPN for MAC / IP learning, and advanced tunneling mechanisms like VXLAN for L2 extension, MPLS for L3 VPNs, Segment Routing (SR), and SRv6 for simplified traffic engineering.
  • Hardware and Platform Proficiency : Strong understanding of Cisco, Juniper edge routing, universal routing, packet transport, and data center switching series, including their architectural advantages in high-density, low-latency environments. Equivalent experience with competitors (e.g., Juniper MX / PTX / QFX, Cisco NCS, Arista 7000 series) is essential for competitive analysis.
  • Merchant Silicon Mastery : Expert-level familiarity with networking ASICs such as Broadcom's Trident / Tomahawk series for cost-effective switching or Nokia's Jericho for programmable routing, including feature comparisons (e.g., pipeline stages, table sizes, telemetry support) and strategic positioning against proprietary silicon.
  • Automation and Orchestration : Hands-on experience with network provisioning tools like Juniper Apstra for intent-based networking or Paragon Automation for closed-loop operations, including integration with competitive equivalents (e.g., Cisco NSO).
  • Monitoring and Telemetry : Proficiency in modern manageability standards such as NETCONF for configuration management, REST APIs for programmatic access, YANG data modeling, and streaming telemetry for real-time analytics to enable proactive issue resolution.
  • Virtualization and Acceleration : Experience scaling virtualized network functions (VNFs) on x86 platforms using DPDK for user-space packet processing, SR-IOV for direct device assignment, and SmartNICs (e.g., NVIDIA BlueField) for offloading AI workloads.
  • Open Networking Ecosystem : Practical deployment of whitebox switches with open-source software stacks like SONiC (Microsoft's NOS) and FRR (Free Range Routing) for disaggregated, cost-optimized architectures.
  • Proven Pre-Sales Expertise : Extensive experience (10+ years) in pre-sales roles selling high-end networking equipment and solutions to enterprise and hyperscale customers. Exceptional oral and written communication skills are required, with a demonstrated ability to articulate how technical innovations directly address business challenges, such as reducing latency in AI training clusters or enhancing fault tolerance in distributed data centers.
  • Stakeholder Engagement : Track record of effectively communicating intricate technical concepts and sales strategies to diverse audiences, including non-technical executives. Success in cultivating strategic alliances with C-level leaders and technical influencers across client organizations and ecosystem partners.
  • RFP Mastery : Documented experience crafting winning RFP / Tender submissions, encompassing technical compliance matrices, detailed bills of materials (BOMs), commercial and pricing models, high-level design documents, and executive summaries that highlight solution fit and TCO benefits.
  • Educational Background : Advanced degree (Master's or higher) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technology field, or equivalent combination of education and professional experience.
  • Show original message

  • Leadership Experience : Formal or informal experience in technical sales leadership, such as managing a pre-sales pod or mentoring emerging talent to accelerate team performance and knowledge transfer.
  • Certifications : JNCIE-SP / ENT (Juniper Networks Certified Internet Expert - Service Provider / Enterprise) or equivalent industry-recognized certifications (e.g., CCIE Data Center, Arista ACE-L6) validating expert-level proficiency.
  • Programming and Scripting : Exposure to automation scripting and API interactions, including tools like Postman for API testing, JSON for data serialization, and Python for custom network scripts (e.g., using libraries like Netmiko or NAPALM).
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation package, including base salary, performance-based incentives, and future equity opportunities.
  • Comprehensive benefits, including health coverage, professional development stipends, and flexible work arrangements.
  • A collaborative, innovation-driven culture with access to cutting-edge tools and global networking events.
