Location: India (Remote / Hybrid — delivery-aligned to client time zones)

Experience: 10+ years

Engagement Type: Project-based — Implementation & Migration

Function: Infrastructure & Cloud Services (ICS)

Reports To: Delivery Lead / Practice Head — DDI

About The Role

InOpTra is building a dedicated BlueCat delivery practice to support implementation and migration engagements for BlueCat's Professional Services organization and its end customers. As a Senior DDI / BlueCat Implementation Engineer, you will be a core member of this practice — owning the technical delivery of DNS, DHCP, and IPAM migration and implementation projects end to end.

This is a high-ownership, project-based role. You will work directly with BlueCat's internal teams and customer environments, and are expected to bring deep DDI expertise, strong migration experience, and the ability to operate independently on complex engagements.

Key Responsibilities

Implementation & Migration Delivery

Lead end-to-end deployment of BlueCat Integrity and/or Horizon DDI platforms in customer environments
Execute DNS, DHCP, and IPAM migrations from legacy platforms (Infoblox, Microsoft DNS/DHCP, BIND, ISC DHCP) to BlueCat
Design and implement DDI architecture aligned to customer requirements — zone structures, scope hierarchies, HA configurations
Manage data transformation, validation, and cutover planning to ensure zero-downtime migrations
Conduct pre-migration assessments and produce detailed migration runbooks

Technical Execution

Configure and tune BlueCat Integrity/Horizon for enterprise-scale environments
Integrate DDI platforms with IPAM workflows, CMDB, and service desk tooling where required
Develop and execute automation scripts for data migration, bulk imports, and configuration tasks (Python, REST API, Bash)
Perform post-implementation validation, testing, and handover documentation

Stakeholder & Delivery Management

Engage directly with BlueCat PS leadership and customer technical teams
Provide regular project status updates and escalate risks proactively
Mentor mid-level engineers within the DDI practice as the team scales
Contribute to reusable delivery assets — runbooks, templates, and knowledge base articles

Required Skills & Experience

Mandatory

10+ years in network/infrastructure engineering with a strong focus on DNS, DHCP, and IPAM (DDI)
Proven hands-on experience delivering DDI migrations at enterprise scale — multiple completed projects required
Deep expertise in DNS architecture — split-horizon, forwarders, delegation, DNSSEC, recursive vs. authoritative
Strong DHCP experience — scope design, failover/HA, relay configuration, lease management
IPAM design and governance — IP hierarchies, subnet planning, utilization tracking
Experience migrating from at least one of: Infoblox NIOS, Microsoft DNS/DHCP, BIND/ISC DHCP, or EfficientIP
Scripting proficiency — Python or Bash for automation and bulk migration tasks
Ability to produce high-quality technical documentation independently

Strongly Preferred

Hands-on experience with BlueCat Integrity (Address Manager + BDDS) — configuration, administration, or migration
Exposure to BlueCat Horizon DDI (cloud-native platform) — any level of familiarity valued
Experience working within a partner or professional services delivery model (SI, managed services, or similar)
Familiarity with BlueCat REST API for automation and integration workflows

Good to Have

Cisco networking background — routing, switching, network segmentation in DDI-adjacent contexts
Cloud DDI exposure — AWS Route 53, Azure DNS, or hybrid DDI architectures
ITIL or project delivery framework experience
Prior experience in a white-label or sub-contractor delivery model

Certifications

BlueCat Certified (any level) — strongly preferred
Infoblox Certified (NCSA / NCDDI) — relevant if transitioning from Infoblox environments
Cisco CCNP / CCIE — advantageous
ITIL Foundation — advantageous
