Senior Engineer – Data Center Fabric – Partner Enable Hub

Join us as a Senior Engineer for Nokia’s Data Center Fabric (DCF) and play a key role in deploying cutting-edge network solutions.

In this role, you’ll collaborate with architects, integration teams, and customers to design, validate, and troubleshoot solutions — including 3rd-party components where needed. It's a great fit if you’re passionate about both architecture and hands-on engineering, and eager to make an impact across design, delivery, and support.

You'll be part of the Partner Enablement team, helping elevate our partners’ capabilities and success in delivering enterprise-ready solutions.

• Collaborate with internal stakeholders such as Product Line Management, Care, and Pre-sales to ensure successful solution adoption and satisfaction.
