Senior Network Engineer

Job Title: Senior Network Engineer

Company: Alpha Data Recruitment

Location: Dubai

Type: Contract

We need a Senior Network Engineer who actually knows their stuff. Not just some paper CCNA, but someone who’s been in the trenches, wrangling L3 routing, Cisco ASA firewalls, and Cisco ACI like it’s second nature. You’ll be the go‑to for designing, building, securing, and fixing up our enterprise network. High stakes, high availability. Stuff breaks? You fix it. Simple.

• Set up, manage, and fix Layer 3 routing—think OSPF, BGP, EIGRP.
• Roll out and babysit Cisco ASA firewalls. VPNs, rules, policies—lock it down.
• Dive deep into Cisco ACI fabric—tenant creation, policies, contracts, connectivity issues.
• Make sure our network’s not just running, but locked up tighter than Fort Knox and playing nice with company policies.
• Keep an eye on network performance. See a bottleneck? Break it. Make it faster.
• Put on your detective hat when stuff goes sideways. Incident management, root cause, all that jazz.
• Jump in on migrations, upgrades, and fresh deployments. We’re always moving, so you’d better be too.
• Work with other teams—servers, storage, security, cloud. We’re all in this mess together.
• Actually write things down. Diagrams, configs, processes. If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen.

• Real hands‑on L3 experience. Not just “I read about it once.”
• Deep Cisco ASA chops. Firewalls are your playground.
• Cisco ACI? You’ve done fabric design, built stuff, fixed stuff. Not just clicked around the GUI.
• You actually understand TCP/IP, VLANs, VPNs, ACLs, NAT, QoS… the whole alphabet soup.
• When the network’s acting weird, you don’t panic—you troubleshoot, even if it’s a multi‑vendor zoo.
• You can talk to humans, not just machines. Teamwork matters.

• Bachelor’s in Computer Science, IT, whatever—nice to have.
• CCNA is a must. No CCNA, no go.
• Got a CCNP, CCIE, or something fancier? Even better.

Apply already. If you’re just looking to rack up buzzwords on your resume, maybe move along.
