I would document justified regional deviations, build a staged design and validation plan, automate repeatable configuration deployment, and complete readiness reviews for out-of-band access, observability, failure scenarios, and operational handoff before production launch. Describe how you would troubleshoot an intermittent traffic-loss issue across a backbone path using BGP and segment routing. I would first establish scope through telemetry, flow data, interface counters, and customer impact reports. I would validate BGP reachability and policy, inspect segment-routing paths and label or SID programming, correlate events with link errors or configuration changes, and compare affected versus healthy paths. After isolating the fault, I would mitigate safely, conduct a blameless RCA, and implement monitoring or policy improvements to prevent recurrence. How do you balance hands-on technical delivery with managing a team of network engineers? I set explicit ownership boundaries and use planning, backlogs, design reviews, and incident processes to make priorities visible. I retain responsibility for the highest-risk architecture, escalations, and early-stage deployments, while assigning meaningful technical ownership to team members and supporting them through regular coaching and feedback. As the team matures, I deliberately transition repeatable operational work to documented and automated team processes. What is your experience with EVPN-VXLAN and Clos fabrics in high-scale environments? A strong answer should explain designing leaf-spine fabrics with predictable east-west capacity, using BGP-based underlay routing and EVPN control planes for overlay reachability. It should also address anycast gateways, multi-tenancy, failure-domain design, route-policy control, telemetry, and operational testing of convergence and failure behavior. How would you organize follow-the-sun incident coverage with APAC, EMEA, and US network teams? I would define clear severity levels, escalation ownership, communication channels, and handoff templates that capture impact, actions taken, current hypotheses, and next decisions. Shared runbooks, a single incident timeline, and recurring cross-region reviews would reduce ambiguity. I would also measure handoff quality and repeat incidents to improve automation, documentation, and resilience over time. Opportunity details ## About this role.
