Description:
This role is responsible for the design, implementation, monitoring, and maintenance of robust and secure IP core network infrastructure, with a focus on Fiber to the Home (FTTH) deployments. This includes managing routing protocols, security appliances, authentication systems (RADIUS), and MikroTik devices to ensure high availability and optimal performance.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, deploy, and maintain core network infrastructure, including routers, switches, firewalls, and FTTH network elements.
- Configure and manage dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP).
- Implement and manage RADIUS servers for AAA (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting).
- Configure, manage, and troubleshoot MikroTik devices, including PPPoE, NAT, QoS, and other relevant services.
- Manage and troubleshoot Network Access Servers (NAS) for efficient service delivery and authentication.
- Implement and maintain network security measures, including VPNs, firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), and adherence to cybersecurity best practices.
- Monitor network performance and availability using monitoring tools (e.g., SolarWinds, Cacti, Zabbix, Nagios).
- Respond to and resolve network incidents and outages, ensuring adherence to SLAs.
- Perform regular maintenance tasks, including firmware upgrades, security patching, and configuration backups.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams on network integration and project support.
- Identify and mitigate potential network vulnerabilities.
- Document network configurations, changes, incidents, and troubleshooting procedures.
- Participate in disaster recovery and business continuity planning for network services.
- Provide on-call support as part of a rotational schedule.
Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
- Relevant industry certifications (e.g., CCNA, CCNP, MikroTik MTCNA, MTCRE) are highly desirable.
Experience:
- Solid understanding of LAN/WAN architectures, FTTH technologies, and network protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, RADIUS).
- Hands-on experience configuring and managing MikroTik routers and network devices.
- Experience with configuring and managing NAS for PPPoE and other authentication methods.
- Proficiency in implementing and managing network security solutions (VPNs, firewalls, IDS/IPS).
- Experience with network monitoring and troubleshooting tools.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and troubleshooting skills.
- Excellent communication (written and verbal) and teamwork skills.
