Job Brief
We are looking for a skilled IP Network & Infrastructure Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and operationalization of landing zones for telecom stacks (BSS / OCS) across bare metal and virtualized environments. You will play a critical role in building the foundational IP internally and externally, compute, and connectivity layers within our datacenter to support high-performance and secure telecom workloads.

VentureDive Overview
Founded in 2012 by veteran technology entrepreneurs from MIT and Stanford, VentureDive is the fastest-growing technology company in the region that develops and invests in products and solutions that simplify and improve the lives of people worldwide. We aspire to create a technology organization and an entrepreneurial ecosystem in the region that is recognized as second to none in the world.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement IP network architecture to support telecom-grade applications and services in datacenter environments.
• Build and operationalize landing zones across bare metal and virtual machine stacks for core telecom platforms such as BSS, OCS, and Charging Systems.
• Configure and manage routing, switching, segmentation, and inter-zone communication to ensure secure and high-availability network services.
• Work closely with infrastructure and architecture teams to define network topologies, firewall rules, VLANs, VRFs, and interconnectivity for internal systems and external partners.
• Implement L2/L3 network components, ensuring performance, security, and regulatory compliance (e.g., data sovereignty, lawful intercept).
• Ensure integration readiness of landing zones for platform components such as CRM, Billing, OCS, Mediation, and Provisioning.
• Support network automation and infrastructure-as-code initiatives using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or vendor-native solutions.
• Provide deep troubleshooting support for IP-layer issues, as well as performance tuning for network and interconnect bottlenecks.

Required Experience & Qualification:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in IP networking and infrastructure roles within telecom or large-scale datacenter environments.
• Strong hands-on experience with:
     - Routing protocols (BGP, OSPF)
     - Switching, VLANs, VRFs, STP
     - Firewalling, ACLs, NAT, VPN
     - Load balancers (L4–L7)
• Solid understanding of bare metal server provisioning, virtualization (e.g., VMware, KVM), and datacenter network design.
• Experience building or supporting telecom workloads such as BSS, OCS, or other OSS components.
• Familiarity with Diameter, Radius, or other telecom signaling protocols is a plus.
• Experience working in hybrid environments involving physical infrastructure, private cloud, and public cloud (preferred).
• Proficiency in documenting network architectures, diagrams, and IP schemas.

Preferred Qualifications

• Certification: CCNP, JNCIP, or equivalent
• Familiarity with Infrastructure-as-Code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible)
• Exposure to TM Forum frameworks (TAM, ODA) is a plus
• Experience with monitoring and logging tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK)
