Role Overview
The Network Engineering Manager for Data Center Technologies leads a highly skilled engineering team responsible for architecting and operating the enterprise’s most critical network platforms. This includes ownership of all data center routing and switching, interconnect technologies, cloud connectivity, and the supporting infrastructure that ensures resilient and high‑performance network operations. The role provides both strategic direction and day‑to‑day technical oversight, ensuring data center networks are engineered to meet business requirements for scalability, availability, and security. This manager acts as the primary point of leadership for the design standards, delivery quality, and long‑term engineering roadmap associated with data center network ecosystems.
Core Routing, Switching, and Dynamic Network Architecture
This position oversees engineering for core and distribution routing and switching across enterprise data centers, including dynamic routing systems within the data center fabric and the broader intranet. Responsibilities include leading the team that designs BGP, OSPF, and other routing protocols; optimizing traffic flows; and ensuring high availability across the network. The manager ensures designs support enterprise scale, multi‑tenant segmentation, redundancy targets, and compliance needs. The role also provides technical governance to ensure all routing infrastructures are engineered with consistent enterprise standards.
Cisco ACI and Non‑ACI Data Center Platforms
The manager is accountable for the Cisco ACI spine‑leaf fabric that forms the backbone of large enterprise data centers. This includes ownership of APIC policy design, endpoint group strategy, fabric lifecycle management, and integration of ACI with external networks and clouds. In addition, the role oversees Cisco NX‑OS–based non‑ACI data centers, typically structured around core/distribution/access layers. This includes designing and standardizing architectures for smaller facilities, ensuring consistent operations across diverse data center environments. The manager ensures both ACI and NX‑OS infrastructure remain aligned with reliability standards, architectural best practices, and evolving business needs.
Edge Routers, DIA Circuits, and Data Center Interconnects
This role leads the team responsible for engineering and supporting enterprise edge routers and associated Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) circuits. The manager ensures robust external connectivity for cloud applications, remote offices, and internet‑facing services. Additionally, the role oversees Data Center Interconnect (DCI) solutions—both physical and cloud‑based—ensuring secure and redundant connectivity across data centers and hybrid cloud platforms. Responsibilities include evaluating transport options, managing diverse carrier services, and ensuring interconnect topologies meet performance and resilience requirements.
Security and Access Control – Cisco ISE and AAA
The position also includes responsibility for the engineering of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) and associated authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) frameworks that govern device and administrative access across the data center environment. This includes defining policy sets, integrating ISE across platforms, and implementing secure access standards for all network infrastructure. The manager ensures that AAA controls support compliance, operational security, and identity‑based access best practices.
Out‑of‑Band (OOB) and Console Access Management
The manager oversees the design and operations of the enterprise’s out‑of‑band management network and console access infrastructure, which is critical for secondary and tertiary access to devices during service outages. This responsibility includes ensuring the OOB network is independently resilient, secure, and consistently available for disaster recovery operations. The manager ensures console systems, terminal servers, and supporting OOB technologies are standardized across data centers and engineered to provide reliable fallback access when primary network paths are unavailable.
Team Leadership and Operational Excellence
Beyond technical responsibilities, the Network Engineering Manager provides leadership, coaching, and professional development for a team of network engineers. This includes setting priorities, removing roadblocks, developing long‑term capability plans, and ensuring the team follows engineering best practices. The manager partners with peer technology teams, project managers, and business stakeholders to deliver well‑designed network solutions that support organizational initiatives. They are also responsible for maintaining documentation, engineering standards, operational runbooks, and capacity plans.
