About VIDA
VIDA builds identity platforms and secure credentialing systems used by Financial, government services, and enterprise customers to verify and manage digital identity at scale. Our products combine high-availability platforms, PKI/CA integrations, and audit-grade logging to deliver tamper-resistant authentication, credential issuance, and secure API gateways. We’re a product-first engineering team that values reliability, automation, and engineers who take ownership of production systems.
Role summary
We’re hiring a hands-on Senior Data Center Network Engineer to design, implement, and operate our Jakarta data center and enterprise networks. You’ll own HLD/LLD, deployments, monitoring, and incident resolution for Nexus/Catalyst environments, MPLS backbones, and overlay fabrics — with a strong emphasis on uptime, security, and audit readiness.
Key responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end network design, implementation, and production support for data center and enterprise networks.
- Produce and maintain HLDs, LLDs, runbooks and UAT test scripts; conduct knowledge transfers.
- Design and operate Cisco Nexus-based fabric (leaf/spine, vPC), campus Catalyst switching, and WAN/MPLS backbones.
- Implement and troubleshoot routing (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP), MPLS (LDP, L2VPN, L3VPN, MPLS-TE) and overlay tech (VXLAN, IPsec, OTV, ACI).
- Harden networks for security and compliance: segmentation, port security, ACLs, route filtering, PBR and QoS.
- Lead change management for high-availability environments; perform staging and validation for device rollouts.
- Drive incident response for packet loss, path anomalies and performance degradation; perform RCA and mitigation.
- Coordinate with platform, security and compliance teams to ensure audit readiness (CA/PKI integrations, ISO, WebTrust) and assist during audits.
Required qualifications
- 7+ years in enterprise and data center networking with demonstrable hands-on experience designing and operating production networks.
- Deep practical knowledge of MPLS backbone technologies and multi-vendor WAN environments.
- Strong routing and switching skills: BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, VLANs, Spanning Tree variants, EtherChannel, HSRP/VRRP.
- Proven experience with Nexus (N3K/N5K/N7K/N9K) and Catalyst platforms; experience with fabric/leaf-spine architectures.
- Solid troubleshooting skills for packet flows, QoS, routing policies and overlay overlays.
- Experience creating HLD/LLD, performing UAT and delivering knowledge transfers.
- Excellent communication and documentation skills; able to work with cross-functional teams and customers.
Preferred skills
- Familiarity with Certification Authority (CA) operations, PKI lifecycle and operational impacts on network design.
- Knowledge of ISO management systems relevant to IT/IS (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001) and practical steps to maintain audit evidence.
- Understanding of WebTrust audit requirements for CA operations and how network controls support audit trails and non-repudiation.
- Hands-on with Cisco ACI (APIC, leaf-spine), Nexus Dashboard (NDFC/NDI/NDO/NDDB) and SD-Access.
- Experience with network automation (Ansible, Python) and configuration management.
- Exposure to security tooling and logging integration (Splunk, SIEM ingestion of NetFlow/logs).
