Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Arganteal Corporation is seeking a Network Migration Architect to lead overnight network cutover windows and administer privileged access for migration engineers. The role leads a remote team through Cisco and Juniper hardware replacements, directs troubleshooting and onsite remediation, makes go/no-go and rollback decisions, and oversees MOPs, cable matrices, and cutover handoffs.
Responsibilities
- Hold the privileged Key 6 credential and log each cut engineer into their assigned devices at the start of the window
- Roughly a 15 minute process at the front of every cut. Mechanically simple, but it gates the entire night, so it has to be correct and on time
- Maintain custody and confidentiality of the credential in line with client security policy
- Run the cut window end to end for a team of 7 to 8 remote engineers. Set the order of operations, keep the team on the clock, and hold the bridge
- Act as the escalation point when cut engineers hit complex faults. Diagnose, direct, and resolve in real time
- Make go / no go and rollback calls, and own them. Recognize when a problem exceeds the team on the bridge and pull in additional escalation
- Direct onsite hands who are frequently not network engineers. Talk a technician through miscabled optics, wrong port assignments, reversed uplinks, and similar physical errors over the phone, without seeing the rack
- Author, review, and execute MOPs. Validate that the MOP matches the target design and the actual device state before the window opens
- Build and verify cable matrices, and catch errors in them before they become an outage
- Deliver a clean handoff and cut status at the end of every window, including anything left open, rolled back, or requiring day shift follow up
Skills
- Active CCIE, or equivalent Juniper expert level certification (JNCIE). This is a hard requirement. No equivalents, no lapsed certifications, no in progress candidates
- Architect level depth across Cisco IOS, IOS XE and Nexus platforms, and Juniper Junos
- Demonstrated experience **leading a team** of cutover or migration engineers through live change windows. This is not a solo engineering seat
- Hands on MOP authoring and execution
- Cable matrix creation and validation
- Proven ability to guide non network onsite personnel through physical remediation by phone
- Sustained overnight shift experience. This role is 11:00 PM to 8:00 AM CST, not occasional after hours work
- Strong routing and switching fundamentals with fast, structured troubleshooting under time pressure
- Resides in the United States and is authorized to work in the United States
- Able to clear a background check
- Service provider or carrier grade escalation background. Last level of support for complex, high risk network faults
- Technology refresh and legacy decommissioning programs spanning many sites and repeating cut windows
- Both Cisco and Juniper inside the same program, including cross OEM transitions in either direction
- Depth in BGP, OSPF, MPLS, and data center fabric technologies
- Track record authoring technical procedures, prevention plans, and assurance documentation, not just executing someone else's
- Vendor TAC case management on live outages
- Experience operating inside a formal change control process with defined back out criteria
- Track record mentoring and developing engineers on a live bridge
Benefits
- Remote work from home within the United States
