Job Title: F5 VELOS Implementation Engineer
Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled
F5 VELOS Implementation Engineer to lead the architecture, deployment, and migration of next-generation Application Delivery Controller (ADC) hardware platforms. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end delivery of
F5 VELOS chassis systems. This includes configuring the initial platform layer (F5OS), partitioning chassis assets, and migrating legacy workloads—such as F5 VIPRION configurations—into newly provisioned modern BIG-IP tenants. You will collaborate closely with network infrastructure, application, and security teams to optimize high-performance, containerized application-delivery environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Chassis Initialization: Perform initial physical setup, hardware deployment, and configuration of the F5 VELOS System Controllers using the CLI and setup wizard.
- Platform Configuration: Establish baseline management networking infrastructure, including floating management IPs, DNS, NTP, and AAA/LDAP authentication.
- Chassis Partitioning: Create and manage isolated chassis software partitions. Allocate blade resources, specify interfaces, and map high-availability (HA) requirements.
- Tenant Deployment: Import tenant software images, configure VLANs, and provision specialized BIG-IP microservice instances.
- Workload Migration: Plan and execute migrations of existing network workloads from legacy F5 VIPRION systems to VELOS-hosted virtual environments.
- Module Management: Configure core traffic services inside individual tenants, including Local Traffic Manager (LTM), Global Traffic Manager (GTM/DNS), Access Policy Manager(APM) and Advanced WAF.
- Performance Tuning: Optimize high-throughput Layer 4–7 traffic, SSL/TLS offloading parameters, and hardware accelerated encryption.
- Documentation Delivery: Draft explicit High-Level Designs (HLD), Low-Level Designs (LLD), migration manifests, and configuration backups.
Required Technical Skills & Qualifications
F5 Core Technical Expertise
- Proven engineering experience working with F5 VELOS CX-Series platforms or F5 rSeries appliances.
- Deep configuration knowledge of F5OS (Chassis and Partition management layer) and its microservices-based architecture.
- Hands-on experience deploying BIG-IP software modules (LTM, DNS/GTM, APM, Advanced WAF).
- Strong scripting background writing advanced F5 iRules or Local Traffic Policies for data streams.
Networking & Systems Infrastructure
- Mastery of core networking concepts, including TCP/IP, L2/L3 routing, and VLAN trunking.
- Familiarity with container orchestration concepts (Kubernetes, OpenShift) powering the internal chassis framework.
- Expertise in traffic capture diagnostics using tcpdump, Wireshark, and native F5OS platform logging features.
Professional Experience & Certifications
- Experience: Minimum 5+ years of dedicated network engineering or deployment experience focused directly on F5 solutions.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Network Engineering, or an equivalent technical field.
Preferred Qualities
- Strong analytical problem-solving skills for debugging complex Layer 7 application interactions.
- Comfort executing mission-critical platform migrations inside scheduled off-hours maintenance windows.
- Clear documentation skills used to summarize configurations for handoff to operations personnel.
