Roles & Responsibilities

Core Network Engineering Duties

• Design, build, and maintain enterprise network architectures (LAN/WAN, data center, campus, cloud networking).

• Configure and optimize routing and switching (e.g., BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, VXLAN, EVPN).

• Manage firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPN, and network segmentation policies aligned to Zero Trust principles.

• Implement network telemetry, logging, and packet-capture visibility solutions.

• Ensure network resiliency, redundancy, and capacity planning across environments.

• Maintain cloud network configurations (AWS VPCs, Transit Gateways, Azure VNets, GCP VPCs).

• Perform network performance troubleshooting, service restoration, and RCA documentation.

• Manage network device lifecycle: refresh planning, patching, fi rmware, IOS/NX-OS upgrades.

Core Systems Engineering Duties

• Architect, deploy, and maintain server infrastructure (Linux, Windows, VMware, Hyper-V).

• Configure and optimize system performance, storage, virtualization, and backups.

• Maintain cloud infrastructure services (EC2, RDS, EBS, S3, IAM, Azure AD, GCP equivalents).

• Deploy and manage containers, Kubernetes, orchestration systems.

• Implement secure system baselines (CIS, NIST 800-53, DISA STIGs).

• Maintain Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, PKI, SSO, and certificate management.

• Support patching, OS hardening, system logging, FIM, vulnerability remediation.

• Conduct performance and health monitoring of critical compute resources and services.

Cybersecurity & Compliance Responsibilities

• Integrate network/sys logs into SIEM platforms following CIM or standardized schema.

• Implement network and system controls supporting ISO27001, or NIST RMF compliance.

• Support incident response through data collection, log analysis, containment actions, and implementing

• compensating controls.

• Manage access controls, least-privilege enforcement, and identity integrations for infrastructure.

• Support audit evidence collection and configuration/state reporting.
