Overview
We are seeking an experienced and hands-on Level 3 NOC Engineer to join our Global Network Operations Center. This position plays a vital role in ensuring the performance, availability, and security of our edge compute platforms, SD-WAN environments (Versa), container workloads, and cloud-connected infrastructure.
The ideal candidate will have extensive Linux and networking experience, a proactive mindset, and a passion for diving deep into technical issues to resolve incidents, improve systems, and support mission-critical applications in challenging, distributed environments. You’ll collaborate with engineering, support, and deployment teams and act as a senior escalation point within a 24/7 global operations model.
Key Responsibilities
-
Monitor and troubleshoot distributed edge compute and Versa SD-WAN platforms to ensure high availability and performance.
-
Respond to escalated incidents from Level 1/2 teams, performing deep-dive diagnostics across Linux, virtualized, containerized, and cloud environments.
-
Perform advanced troubleshooting of complex production systems—e.g., out-of-memory issues, application crashes, packet loss, or routing anomalies.
-
Use observability and monitoring tools (e.g., Grafana, SolarWinds, DataMiner) to detect and act on system anomalies; contribute to alert optimization and dashboard tuning.
-
Support changes and updates to compute nodes, appliances, and edge services under formal change control processes.
-
Participate in service restoration, incident post-mortems, and root cause analysis.
-
Collaborate on recurring issue identification and automation opportunities to reduce manual effort.
-
Create and maintain operational documentation, troubleshooting guides, and SOPs/runbooks.
-
Participate in a global 24/7 shift-based coverage as needed.
Required Skills & Experience
-
Extensive and strong hands-on experience with Linux system administration and troubleshooting in production environments is a must (e.g., out-of-memory issues, application crashes, connectivity issues).
-
Familiarity with Type 1 and Type 2 hypervisors (e.g., KVM, VMware ESXi), including passthrough configuration, resource tuning, and troubleshooting.
-
Experience with public cloud platforms (e.g., Azure, AWS), including VM provisioning, virtual networking, SSO setup, and datastore configuration.
-
Solid understanding of IP networking protocols and services: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, NAT, VLANs, routing (BGP, OSPF, RIP), VPNs, proxies, and firewalls.
-
Strong troubleshooting skills using network tools (e.g., ping, traceroute, tcpdump, Wireshark).
-
Proficiency with virtual NICs, Linux network stacks, and interface configuration.
-
Hands-on experience testing and troubleshooting REST APIs using Postman, Swagger, CURL, and Python scripts. Familiarity with reading Swagger definitions to automate or validate API workflows.
-
Exposure to containerized workloads and orchestration, including Docker, Kubernetes, or K3s.
-
Familiarity with infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible, Terraform, or Bash scripting.
-
Foundational understanding of TPM, encryption, and measured/secure boot is a plus (can be taught internally).
-
Experience with tools like ServiceNow, Jira, or other ITSM platforms for case and incident management.
-
Strong written and verbal English communication skills with the ability to clearly document issues, escalate appropriately, and collaborate across teams.
Preferred Qualifications
-
Experience supporting or deploying edge orchestration platforms (e.g., Zededa, Azure IoT Edge, AWS Greengrass).
-
Exposure to hybrid or satellite-based connectivity environments, including high-latency or intermittent networks.
-
Experience working in a managed services provider (MSP) environment, ISP/NOC, or systems integrator is preferred.
-
Familiarity with zero-touch provisioning, telemetry pipelines, or site/network architecture at the edge is a plus.
Why Join Us?
-
Work at the cutting edge of network operations, edge computing, and satellite systems, enabling global connectivity in the most remote and demanding scenarios.
-
Be part of a collaborative, fast-moving team that values technical depth, mentorship, and continuous learning.
