Who We Are:

At Bandwidth, your music matters when you are part of the BAND.  We celebrate differences and encourage BANDmates to be their authentic selves.  #jointheband

What We Are Looking For:

As a Senior IP Network Engineer at Bandwidth you will work on projects supporting and enhancing a highly resilient global network. You will work with network technologies from multiple vendors including, but not limited to, Cisco, Juniper and Palo Alto and help Bandwidth continue to strengthen parts of our network infrastructure with tooling and automation. You will learn how multiple pieces of network infrastructure interact seamlessly to provide Bandwidth's customers unparalleled voice quality.

What You'll Do:

As a Senior IP Network Engineer, you'll own the design, operation, and evolution of a highly resilient global network. You'll work across datacenter fabric, WAN, and security infrastructure and you'll have a direct hand in the automation and tooling that keeps it all running at scale.

• Design and operate VxLAN/EVPN-based datacenter fabrics across multiple PoPs while also being comfortable in traditional spanning tree topologies. 
• Design and operate Palo Alto firewall infrastructure, including policy design, zone segmentation, and threat prevention
• Architect and maintain BGP-based WAN routing across our backbone
• Drive network automation initiatives — from device provisioning to event-driven remediation
• Collaborate across Engineering and Operations to evaluate new technologies and deliver network improvements
• Participate in an on-call rotation and perform after-hours maintenance as needed

What You Need:

• 10+ years of hands-on experience with service provider network infrastructure
• Deep expertise in datacenter networking: VxLAN, EVPN, BGP EVPN control plane, and leaf-spine architectures
• Strong Palo Alto experience: firewall policy management, Panorama, zone-based segmentation
• Solid routing foundation: BGP (iBGP/eBGP), OSPF, and MPLS in production environments
• Experience with Cisco (ASR, Nexus/NX-OS) and Juniper (MX, SRX) platforms
• Scripting or development experience — Python, Ansible, or similar
• Comfortable working in Linux environments
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and leading project work independently
• Strong written and verbal communication skills

Bonus Points:

• Experience with ACI or other SDN/overlay controller platforms
• Network certifications (CCIE, JNCIE, PCNSE, or equivalent)
• Experience with using AI to contribute to your mission
