About the role
As a Senior Network Development Engineer on the NAT team, you will provide the technical expertise required to deliver, validate, and activate OCI network connectivity. Your work will span circuits, dark fiber, optical wavelengths, Internet connectivity, backbone infrastructure, and data center interconnects, from technical readiness and provider delivery through acceptance testing, production turn-up, and operational handoff.
You will partner closely with Program Managers, OCI network engineering and operations teams, data center teams, and external network providers to translate network requirements into deployable solutions. NAT responsibilities include validating circuit designs and delivery documentation; confirming cross-connect, cabling, and interface readiness; coordinating provisioning and activation; performing and reviewing acceptance tests; and troubleshooting physical, optical, and network-layer issues. You will verify that delivered connectivity meets applicable capacity, performance, reliability, and resiliency requirements, document deficiencies, and drive technical issues to resolution with providers and internal engineering teams.
You will also establish clear readiness and acceptance criteria, maintain accurate circuit records and test evidence, support controlled production changes, and ensure operational teams receive the documentation and information needed to support the delivered infrastructure. This role combines strong network engineering fundamentals with hands-on delivery, complex troubleshooting, supplier accountability, and continuous improvement of testing, automation, and delivery processes.
