Principal Network Engineer – Global Infrastructure & Cyber Resilience

The Opportunity..

As a Principal Network Engineer at Commvault, you will not just sit in an ivory tower drawing diagrams'. We are looking for a Player-Coach—a technical heavyweight who possesses the vision to architect a global network and the grit to build and troubleshoot it personally.

This role is defined by Deep Execution. You will own the full lifecycle of our global connectivity fabric, from the initial whiteboarding of a Zero Trust framework to the hands-on configuration of the solution and the resolution of complex multi-cloud routing issues. If you are a high-level architect who has moved away from the CLI, this is not the role for you; we need a leader who stays "close to the packets" while guiding our long-term technical strategy.

What You'll Do...

1. Hands-On Technical Leadership & Execution

• Build & Deploy: Take primary responsibility for the "First Build." You will lead the hands-on implementation of global SD-WAN and Cloud nodes, ensuring the transition from design to production is flawless.
• Deep-Dive Troubleshooting: Act as the ultimate technical escalation point. When Tier-3 hits a wall, you dive into the logs, PCAPs, and routing tables to identify and fix the root cause.
• Network-as-Code: Personally develop and maintain Terraform and Ansible playbooks to automate the global environment, ensuring you are driving the execution of automation, not just suggesting it.

 

2. Multi-Cloud & SD-WAN Sovereignty

• GCP & Azure Execution: Physically build and manage the transit gateways, VPC/VNet peering, and Cloud Interconnects that power our multi-cloud ecosystem.
• SD-WAN Mastery: Take the lead in configuring Prisma Access and NGFWs. You will own the policy engine, hands-on, ensuring security is baked into every route and interface.
• Zero Trust Integration: Move beyond the "Zero Trust" buzzword by executing the actual micro-segmentation and identity-based access controls across our hybrid footprint.

 

2. Security & Edge Engineering

• Palo Alto / zScaler Expert: Act as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFW), Prisma Access and ZTNA Own the global policy sets, SSL decryption strategies, and threat prevention profiles.
• Hybrid Connectivity: Manage complex Site-to-Site VPNs, GRE tunnels, and high-speed interconnects that link our global data centers with public cloud regions.
