Job Summary

A leading Malaysian bank urgently requires a Lead Network Engineer (SD-WAN) to drive the end‑to‑end technical delivery of a high‑stakes SD‑WAN migration covering 478 sites. You will lead a team of 4 network engineers, produce Low‑Level Designs (LLD) and cutover runbooks, and execute off‑hours migrations. This is a contract role with mandatory onsite presence in Klang Valley and frequent overnight/weekend cutovers. Banking compliance, change management rigor, and vendor‑agnostic technical leadership are non‑negotiable.

Key Responsibilities

• Design & Documentation – Translate High‑Level Design (HLD) into Low‑Level Design (LLD) with device‑level configurations, IP schemes, QoS policies, and security templates.
• Runbook Preparation – Create detailed, step‑by‑step cutover runbooks validated against bank’s change control board (CAB) requirements.
• Migration Execution – Hands‑on lead for SD‑WAN migration/cutover events (off‑hours, weekends), ensuring minimal disruption to banking operations.
• Team Leadership – Supervise 4 network engineers, assign tasks, review LLDs/runbooks, and serve as technical escalation point.
• Vendor & Technology Agility – Final SD‑WAN platform (Cisco or Fortinet) to be decided by bank. Must design and operate with equal proficiency on either stack.
• Compliance & Risk – Adhere to BNM risk management in IT guidelines, bank’s internal security policies, and strict change management protocols. Document all changes and post‑cutover validation.
• Stakeholder Coordination – Work with bank’s network operations, security team, and project management to align migration windows and site readiness.

Mandatory Requirements

• Minimum 5–6 years of hands-on network engineering, with at least 2 years focused on SD-WAN deployments (migration, cutover, troubleshooting)
• Active CCNP Enterprise (or CCNP Service Provider) OR Fortinet NSE 7 (SD-WAN track) certification required at start
• Proven experience in at least one major SD-WAN platform (Cisco Viptela/Catalyst SD-WAN or Fortinet FortiGate SD-WAN); must be ready to work with either
• Demonstrated ability to write LLDs and cutover runbooks for multi-site (100+ locations) migrations
• Prior experience in banking, financial services, or similarly regulated environment (change control, audit trails, segregated networks)
• Full-time onsite in Klang Valley; mandatory off-hours cutovers (nights, weekends) – no exceptions

Nice‑to‑Have

• Dual certification (both CCNP + NSE7)
• Experience migrating from legacy MPLS/IPSEC to SD‑WAN for 200+ sites
• Familiarity with bank’s legacy routing (EIGRP/OSPF/BGP) and security zones
• Scripting (Python/Ansible) for pre‑validation or post‑cutover checks
• Prior contract role in Malaysian banking project with similar scale

Working Conditions

• Work schedule – Standard business hours for planning; cutovers exclusively off‑hours (e.g., 8:00 PM – 2:00 AM or weekends). Compensatory time off (CTO) as per bank policy.
• Environment – Onsite at bank’s Klang Valley offices, data centres, and branch sites. No remote provision for cutovers.
• Pressure & compliance – High‑stakes, zero‑tolerance for unapproved changes. Regular internal and external audits.
