Role:
As a Routing & Switching Engineer, you design networks that must operate around the clock in the service provider environment. Your toolkit ranges from dynamic routing with the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) through Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to firewall and VPN architectures. If there is a fault anywhere in the network, you are the final technical authority and investigate the causes down to the packet level. Besides conception and operation, you will also engage in hands-on work in the data centre. Those who not only plan technology but also implement it themselves will find plenty of scope for creativity here.
Responsibilities:
You plan Layer 2 and Layer 3 network solutions and configure routers, switches, and firewalls in demanding environments
You independently implement and operate dynamic routing architectures and MPLS services in the provider network
Furthermore, you develop network and security concepts for customer projects, including firewall rules, NAT, ACLs, and VPN connections
You take on 3rd-level support and resolve persistent faults using packet captures and thorough root cause analyses
Additionally, you perform firmware upgrades, migrations, and changes as well as connect new customers, systems, and locations
You also contribute hands-on to data centre projects, conduct audits, and optimise capacities and traffic flows
Qualifications:
You have at least 3 years of practical experience in network and security engineering, ideally in the carrier or service provider environment
You work confidently with BGP and understand peering concepts, route selection, and routing tables in detail
You bring practical experience with label switching services on Layer 2 and 3 as well as with VLAN, trunking, STP/RSTP, and network segmentation
Furthermore, you master TCP/IP with IPv4 and IPv6 and are familiar with redundancy, failover, and high availability concepts from practice
Site-to-site and remote-access VPNs are also part of your repertoire, as is networking multiple data centres
You are familiar with network hardware from Fortinet, Cisco, or other established manufacturers, enjoy analysing traces with Wireshark, and communicate fluently in German as well as professionally in English
