Job Summary

Foundever is seeking an experienced Network Operations Engineer (L3) to take senior technical ownership of our most complex, high-impact network incidents and keep our global network running. Sitting at the top of the network operations escalation path, you will be the senior authority for Priority 1 and Priority 2 incidents — leading incident response, driving root-cause analysis, and delivering the projects, automation and process improvements that stop problems from recurring.

This is a hands-on, high-trust role for an engineer who wants to own outcomes across routing & switching, data centre networking, SD-WAN, load balancing and security (Cisco ASA, FTD, Umbrella and Checkpoint), working alongside experienced peers in a 24×7 follow-the-sun team.

Responsibilities:

• Own and resolve escalated Priority 1 and Priority 2 network incidents; act as the senior point of escalation for L1 and L2 engineers and communicate high-impact issues to stakeholders.
• Lead root-cause analysis and post-incident reviews, driving permanent fixes and process improvement.
• Lead network projects — upgrades, migrations and installations — delivering on time and within budget.
• Support, Design and deploy LAN, WAN, WLAN and SD-WAN solutions for high availability and redundancy.
• Configure and manage routers, switches, firewalls and load balancers (Cisco, Checkpoint, F5, Kemp).
• Monitor network performance and capacity using Entuity, Meraki and LiveAction; proactively identify and prevent issues.
• Drive the adoption of agentic AI within network operations processes to improve overall visibility and responsiveness.
• Enforce network security policies and support audit and compliance closure (PCI DSS, ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR).
• Maintain network documentation, diagrams and SOPs in the GNS wiki.
• Coordinate with vendors for critical and escalated issues.
• Work as part of a 24×7 rotational, follow-the-sun operations/engineering team.

Qualifications:

• 7+ years in network and security engineering and operations, including L3 / escalation experience.
• Deep routing and switching: BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, MPLS.
• Hands-on across the stack: Cisco ASR/ISR, Catalyst 9500/9300/9200, Nexus and Meraki (MS/MR/MX); firewalls and VPNs (Cisco ASA, FTD, Checkpoint, Umbrella); load balancers (F5, Kemp); proxy and content filtering (Cisco WSA, Skyhigh / McAfee Web Gateway).
• Network monitoring with Entuity, SolarWinds or LiveAction.
• CCNP (Enterprise, Data Center or Security) strongly preferred; bachelor’s in Engineering / Science / IT (or equivalent experience) preferred.
• Willing and able to work 24×7 rotational shifts.

Additional Skills that Would Be Beneficial:

• Cloud networking experience (AWS, Azure or Google Cloud).
• Network automation (Python, Ansible).
• Experience in enterprise, financial and data centre environments.

Technical Skills & Qualification:

• Education (if beyond High School or equivalent): Preferred - Bachelor in Engineering - Computers / Electronics / Communication or related field, Graduate/Post Graduate in Science/Math/IT
• Cisco Certified Network Professional Enterprise / Data Center / Security would be an added advantage.
• Willing to work in a 24x7 rotational shift.

Benefits:

• Senior technical ownership — you sit at the top of the escalation path and own how our global network performs.
• Professional growth — support for CCNP and cloud networking certifications, and exposure to large-scale transformation work.
• Competitive compensation — attractive salary and incentive eligibility.
• A supportive, global team operating a modern follow-the-sun model.
