We are always moving forward – always pushing ourselves to go further in our efforts to build a more equitable, inclusive world for our employees, our customers and our communities.
The Role
Summary
Skytap, a Kyndryl company, is seeking a Senior Network Engineer with strong expertise in enterprise networking and cloud interconnects. You will play a critical role in keeping our hybrid network infrastructure reliable, scalable, and secure. This role requires hands-on technical depth in routing, automation, and documentation, with opportunities to help shape connectivity between data centers, cloud platforms, and customer environments.
Responsibilities
+ Design, implement, and maintain enterprise LAN/WAN infrastructure, including routing, switching, firewalls, and load balancers.
+ Interconnect on-prem networks with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS) using ExpressRoute, Direct Connect, VPN, and virtual network peering.
+ Operate and troubleshoot multi-site, multi-datacenter connectivity, ensuring high availability and resiliency.
+ Monitor performance, analyze traffic patterns, and adjust routing for latency, scale, and fault tolerance.
+ Support lifecycle management: upgrades, patches, firmware maintenance, and structured change management.
+ Produce clear high-level design documents, detailed design documents, topology maps, and runbooks; ensure they remain current as changes are introduced.
+ Collaborate with other teams in the organization to align designs with business and compliance requirements.
+ Participate in capacity planning and forecasting; ensure network can accommodate growth.
+ Build automation into day-to-day operations and deployments using Ansible, Python, and Terraform.

You will help establish design standards, create the documentation that drives consistent execution, and influence technology decisions across the organization.

+ Comfortable with data center spine/leaf concepts.
+ Strong troubleshooting of routing incidents across hybrid environments.
+ Excellent documentation and communication skills.
Preferred Skills and Expertise

+ Exposure to AI-assisted troubleshooting and monitoring platforms (AI-driven log analysis, anomaly detection).
+ Familiarity with security and compliance frameworks (e.g., PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC2) and how they impact network design and operations.
+ Experience implementing segmentation and zero-trust principles in enterprise or hybrid networks.
+ Understanding of firewall rule management, policy audits, and secure connectivity patterns across cloud and on-prem environments.
+ Certifications such as CCNP (Enterprise, Datacenter, Security), CCIE (Enterprise, Datacenter, Security), or cloud networking credentials (Azure, AWS, GCP).
