Role Description

The Network Engineering team owns the architecture and design of GFiber’s wireline and wireless networks. We are looking for a Network Engineering Manager to lead the Core & Optical Transport team. 

In this role, you will lead the engineering behind GFiber's nationwide multi-terabit backbone owning reliability, capacity planning, observability, and automation across a multi-vendor backbone. This is a senior technical role with team leadership responsibilities: you'll set technical direction for a small team of network engineers while staying hands-on in design and code.

 

In this job, you’ll:

  • Oversee and review network designs to ensure best practices and resolve complex challenges. Own GFiber backbone design, reliability, traffic engineering and capacity planning across IP and optical layers.
  • Drive observability strategy and telemetry pipelines (SNMP, gNMI/Streaming Telemetry, IPFIX), optical performance monitoring, and the tooling that turns network state into actionable signal.
  • Plan and engineer metro and long-haul optical transport: capacity growth, wavelength planning, and modernization of the DWDM line system.
  • Set and communicate team priorities that support the broader organization's goals. Align strategy, processes, and decision-making across teams.
  • Set clear expectations with individuals based on their level and role and aligned to the broader organization's goals.
  • Develop the long-term technical goals and roadmap within, and often beyond, the scope of your teams. Evolve the roadmap to meet anticipated future requirements and infrastructure needs.

 

At a minimum, we would like you to have:

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10 years of experience building and developing large-scale infrastructure, networks or distributed systems, including at least 3 years in a technical people management role.
  • ISP/carrier backbone experience: routing, switching, traffic engineering and capacity modeling at scale across multi-vendor platforms (Juniper, Nokia, Cisco or equivalent).
  • Optical transport expertise: direct design and operation of DWDM metro and long-haul networks — coherent optics, ROADM/Optical Line System architecture, OTN, and optical capacity and planning.
  • Software engineering skills applied to network automation and tooling beyond  scripting. Direct experience programming in GO and/or Python, building automation systems that other engineers depend on.
  • Experience with modern network observability: streaming telemetry, network performance data analytics, and deep understanding of the tradeoffs involved in designing an observability pipeline.

 

It’s preferred that you have:

  • Experience with building end to end automation workflows and event driven automation concepts.
  • Familiarity with implementing Network Reliability Engineering (NRE) principles within a network context, including SLO/SLA definition and error budget management.
  • Experience with modern telemetry stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, or custom alerting systems.
  • JNCIE-SP, CCIE Service Provider, or equivalent deep industry experience.



The US base salary range for this full-time position is between $164,000 - $241,100 + bonus + benefits. As pay varies by location, your recruiter will share more about the specific salary range for your targeted location during the hiring process.
