About the role
SOMOS is building a next-generation service provider network designed to support large-scale infrastructure growth, operational scalability and long-term architectural evolution.

- Optical transport infrastructure (OTN / DWDM)
- Network security infrastructure
- Data center interconnectivity and backbone integration

This is not a reactive operations role.
Within this domain, the Head of Network Engineering:
- Defines the long-term architecture roadmap for the service provider network ecosystem
- Establishes technical standards and engineering principles across routing, transport, aggregation and security domains
- Ensures architectural consistency between backbone, access, transport and infrastructure security environments




- Defines scalability and resiliency strategies for infrastructure growth
- Guides technical decisions related to routing architecture, transport evolution and infrastructure expansion
- Drives engineering standardization across multi-vendor environments
- Promotes automation-first operational models to improve scalability, consistency and deployment velocity
- Collaborates closely with Automation, Operations, Expansion and Infrastructure teams
- Supports the evolution of provisioning, validation and infrastructure lifecycle methodologies
- Drives documentation, engineering discipline and operational reproducibility across the organization
- Mentors and develops senior engineering talent across multiple technical domains

This role is not focused on operating isolated technologies.
