Network Tools & Monitoring Engineer

Role & responsibilities

We are seeking a Network Tools & Monitoring Engineer with 23 years of hands-on experience in network monitoring, automation, and hybrid (on-premises + cloud) environments. The ideal candidate will implement and optimize network monitoring and automation solutions that ensure the stability, performance, and scalability of enterprise networks. The role requires technical expertise in networking, cloud environments, and tool integration, along with a proactive approach to problem-solving.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, deploy, and manage network monitoring solutions across on-premises and cloud infrastructures (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Configure and maintain monitoring platforms (e.g., SolarWinds, Nagios, Prometheus, Selector.AI, Datadog) for performance, availability, and fault detection.
• Implement automation workflows for monitoring, alerting, and reporting using tools such as Python, Ansible, or Terraform.
• Integrate monitoring tools with ITSM platforms (e.g., ServiceNow) for incident and change management workflows.
• Troubleshoot network issues and proactively recommend optimizations.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams (Network, Cloud, Security, and Application teams) to understand requirements and deliver effective monitoring solutions.
• Maintain documentation of network tools architecture, configurations, integrations, and best practices.
• Stay updated with emerging technologies in cloud networking, observability, and automation.

Qualifications & Skills:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Information Technology, or related field.
• 2–3 years of experience in network engineering or tools engineering, with exposure to both on-prem and cloud environments.
• Experience with network monitoring tools (e.g., SolarWinds, Nagios, Prometheus, Selector.AI, Datadog, or equivalent).
• Experience in cloud networking (VPCs, security groups, routing, VPNs, Direct Connect/ExpressRoute) and monitoring native cloud services.
• Knowledge of tool integrations (APIs, webhooks, ITSM platforms like ServiceNow).
• Understanding of networking protocols (TCP/IP, SNMP, BGP, OSPF, etc.) and infrastructure components (routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers).
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and communication skills.
• Certifications: CCNA/CCNP, or equivalent in networking is required.
• Cloud certifications (AWS/Azure/GCP Associate level or higher) are a strong advantage.
• Proficiency in automation and scripting (Python, Ansible, Terraform preferred).
