The role of a Senior Network Engineer with hands-on experience in intelligent routing protocols such as BGP, IGP, and OSPF is considered highly niche due to the depth of technical expertise required, the complexity of the environments they support, and the critical role they play in maintaining network performance and reliability.

This specialization combines deep knowledge of dynamic routing protocols with large-scale network architecture, making these professionals invaluable especially in enterprise and data center environments where seamless connectivity, redundancy, and fault tolerance are essential.

1. Expertise in Routing Protocols:

• BGP (Border Gateway Protocol): In-depth experience configuring, optimizing, and troubleshooting BGP, which is essential for inter-domain routing across the internet and large networks.

• IGP (Interior Gateway Protocol): Strong understanding of IGPs such as OSPF and IS-IS, commonly used for routing within an organization.

• OSPF (Open Shortest Path First): Hands-on knowledge of link-state routing principles, including advanced configuration and route optimization.

2. Network Design & Implementation:

• Ability to architect and deploy complex network infrastructures that scale efficiently.

• Familiarity with modern technologies such as VXLAN and EVPN for network virtualization.

3. Troubleshooting & Operational Excellence:

• Proficiency in diagnosing and resolving network issues involving routing, switching, and other network elements.

• Skilled in using monitoring and analysis tools to maintain network health and performance.

4. Complementary Skills:

• Understanding of firewall configurations, security policies, and load balancing technologies.

• Experience with Linux/Unix systems and associated networking tools.

• Exposure to cloud networking (e.g., AWS, Azure) and hybrid environments.

• 5+ years of experience in network administration, ideally within large enterprise or data center environments.

• At least 3 years of focused work involving advanced routing protocols such as BGP and OSPF.
