Fusion HCR is hiring! We are seeking a highly skilled Principal Network Engineer to support our client in the hospitality and gaming industry. This role will be responsible for designing, implementing, migrating, and operating a multi-property, standards-based network architecture supporting mission-critical casino, sportsbook, surveillance, OT/IoT, IPTV/media, and enterprise workloads.
This is a hands-on engineering role requiring deep expertise in modern EVPN/VXLAN fabrics, BGP-based WAN and Internet edge designs, Zero Trust segmentation, and network automation and observability. The ideal candidate will thrive in highly available, revenue-critical environments where uptime, operational excellence, and change safety are essential.

Key Responsibilities
Data Center & Campus Fabric Engineering
  • Design, deploy, and operate spine-leaf EVPN/VXLAN fabrics using open standards
  • Build Layer 3 to the edge campus architectures with routed access and Anycast gateways
  • Implement and troubleshoot:
    • BGP underlay and EVPN overlay control planes
    • VXLAN data plane behavior and failure scenarios
    • ECMP, fast convergence, and deterministic routing
  • Define and apply leaf roles (server, border, service, user, surveillance, gaming, OT/IoT)
  • Support Layer 2 extension where required for specialized gaming or clustering use cases
Segmentation & Zero Trust Architecture
  • Implement macro segmentation using VRFs/tenants across campus, data center, WAN, and cloud
  • Design and enforce micro segmentation using firewalls and identity-based access controls
  • Implement Zero Trust principles including:
    • Explicit verification
    • Least privilege access
    • Breach containment strategies
  • Ensure consistent policy enforcement across on-premise and cloud environments
WAN, Inter-Site, & Internet Edge Engineering
  • Design and operate resilient WAN edge architectures using dual-router patterns and eBGP
  • Implement VRF-aware routing and deterministic inter-site connectivity
  • Engineer Internet edge architectures including:
    • High availability firewalls
    • Multi-ISP BGP peering
    • DDoS mitigation and traffic engineering
  • Support secure remote access and segmented vendor connectivity
Multicast, QoS, and Real-Time Traffic Support
  • Design and maintain multicast routing environments including PIM Sparse Mode and EVPN multicast
  • Implement QoS policies to support surveillance, IPTV, AV, gaming, and sportsbook traffic
  • Support Precision Time Protocol (PTP) transport for time-sensitive applications
  • Troubleshoot latency, jitter, packet loss, and performance-related issues
IPTV, Media Distribution & Time-Sensitive Networking
  • Design and operate large-scale IPTV and media distribution networks supporting live video, surveillance, and AV systems
  • Architect multicast environments including RP design, IGMP control, and inter-site multicast transport
  • Implement PTP-aware network architectures including boundary clocks and redundancy models
  • Apply QoS and congestion management strategies to protect real-time media traffic
  • Support live production environments where network stability directly impacts business operations
Network Automation, Observability & Lifecycle Management
  • Operate networks using centralized monitoring and operational visibility platforms
  • Develop and maintain automation workflows using tools such as Ansible, Terraform, NetBox, or Nautobot
  • Integrate telemetry and monitoring systems including streaming telemetry, NetFlow, sFlow, SNMP, and Syslog
  • Perform validation, impact analysis, and testing prior to production changes
  • Improve operational efficiency and reduce mean time to resolution through automation and observability
Migration, Risk Management & Change Control
  • Execute phased network migration strategies and parallel production cutovers
  • Develop and implement risk mitigation and rollback procedures
  • Support highly available, 24/7 operational environments
  • Coordinate cross-functional infrastructure changes with security, server, and application teams
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
  • Maintain accurate network documentation including diagrams, IP schemas, and configuration records
  • Develop operational runbooks and migration documentation
  • Support training and knowledge transfer to internal technical teams

Required Qualifications
  • 7+ years of enterprise or service provider network engineering experience
  • Hands-on experience designing and deploying EVPN/VXLAN fabrics
  • Strong experience with BGP-based WAN and Internet edge architectures
  • Experience supporting large-scale campus and data center network environments
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across Layer 2–Layer 7 networking
  • Experience supporting highly available or regulated environments (gaming, hospitality, finance, healthcare, or similar)
  • Experience supporting IPTV, surveillance, or large-scale media distribution networks

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Arista, Palo Alto, Juniper, or similar enterprise networking platforms
  • Experience with cloud networking connectivity (Azure, AWS, or GCP)
  • Professional certifications such as:
    • CCNP or CCIE
    • JNCIP or JNCIE
    • Arista ACE
  • Experience working in Zero Trust or PCI-regulated environments
  • Experience supporting broadcast, surveillance, or live media transport networks
  • Experience with network automation tools and infrastructure-as-code frameworks
  • Experience implementing PTP-aware network designs in production environments

Environment & Impact
This role supports highly critical hospitality and gaming infrastructure where network reliability directly impacts business operations and revenue. The engineer will play a key role in modernizing and maintaining scalable, secure, and highly available network systems across multiple properties.
