Enterprise & Service Provider Networks
Remote + Field Engagements (Project-Based)

Kore-Tek is expanding its bench of high-performance Cisco engineers for enterprise and service provider projects across the U.S.

We are not a body shop.
We are an engineering-first organization that supports large-scale, carrier-grade and mission-critical networks.

If you are an experienced independent engineer who takes pride in clean designs, disciplined implementations, and solving complex routing problems, we want to connect.

What You’ll Work On

  • BGP-heavy enterprise and SP core networks
  • MPLS (L2/L3 VPN) service provider environments
  • Routed-optical and transport-connected architectures
  • Enterprise WAN migrations
  • EVPN/VXLAN data center fabrics
  • Live-network cutovers and modernization initiatives
  • Advanced troubleshooting in production environments

Core Technical Requirements

Strong experience in:

  • BGP (policy control, communities, route reflectors)
  • OSPF / EIGRP / IS-IS
  • MPLS (LDP, RSVP-TE, VRF, L2VPN / L3VPN)
  • Segment Routing (SR-MPLS preferred)
  • QoS implementation
  • WAN architecture & convergence analysis
  • High-availability design (HSRP/VRRP)
  • Troubleshooting routing instability and path selection issues

Cisco Platforms

Experience with one or more:

  • ASR 1000 / 9000
  • NCS 540 / 5500
  • ISR 4000
  • Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela)

Who Thrives Here

  • Engineers who can whiteboard BGP path selection without notes
  • Professionals who document cleanly and communicate clearly
  • Contractors who show up prepared — remote or on-site
  • Engineers who value accountability and autonomy
  • Individuals who understand the difference between “configured” and “engineered”
