Key Responsibilities
A. Network Architecture & Design Authority
• Define target-state and reference architectures for APAC network services, covering data centre, campus, branch, WAN/SD-WAN, Internet gateways, cloud connectivity, wireless, remote access, network security, load balancing, and core network services.
• Produce and govern high-level and low-level designs, engineering standards, approved technology patterns, configuration baselines, and lifecycle roadmaps.
• Lead design reviews and provide technical assurance for strategic projects, major changes, new site onboarding, technology refresh, migrations, and service introductions.
• Ensure designs address availability, scalability, security, operability, capacity, disaster recovery, regulatory requirements, and support-model readiness from inception.
B. Instrumentation, Observability & SLOs
• Define network SLIs, SLOs, error budgets, reliability KPIs, and service-health measures for critical connectivity and security services.
• Architect end-to-end telemetry across network devices, controllers, security platforms, synthetic monitoring, flow data, logs, events, configuration state, and user-experience indicators.
• Establish actionable dashboards, intelligent alerting, dependency visibility, baseline performance, and early-warning thresholds that reduce noise and improve fault isolation.
• Own the technical reliability reporting framework and use evidence from service performance, incidents, capacity, and availability to prioritise engineering improvements.
C. Automation, Infrastructure as Code & Self-Healing
• Design and develop automation for provisioning, configuration validation, compliance checks, inventory, software lifecycle, change pre-checks and post-checks, backup, recovery, and operational reporting.
• Build reusable automation and Infrastructure-as-Code patterns using Python, Ansible, APIs, Git-based workflows, and suitable orchestration platforms.
• Engineer closed-loop or human-approved auto-remediation for repeatable failure conditions, with appropriate security controls, auditability, rollback, and exception handling.
• Promote test-driven network automation, peer review, version control, reusable modules, and standard engineering pipelines across network services.
D. Reliability, Resilience & Capacity Engineering
• Perform reliability and failure-mode analysis for critical network services, identifying single points of failure, hidden dependencies, convergence risks, and operational weaknesses.
