Target is proud to have a network backbone that is the foundation for the capabilities that our 350k team members use to serve our millions of guests nationwide and our over 2000 global offices, stores, and distribution centers. The Sr. Engineering Manager (SEM) is responsible for managing a team of network engineers and software engineers to enable that backbone and Target's Access Services Edge. Access Services Edge (ASE) enables a portfolio of network components from Edge to the Internet and Target Hybrid Cloud. The portfolio enables secure and reliable connectivity across WAN (Wide Area Network) based on business needs. Some traffic will need to be routed across private WAN and other traffic can be routed directly to the Internet. A combination of network and security policies will be applied to the data in motion to enable traffic shaping, policy-based routing that allows/denies access to appropriate subnets/applications. Through a combination of technologies, the goal of ASE portfolio will be to utilize bandwidth efficiently by providing mechanisms to avoid congestion. Techniques such as traffic scheduling, conserving bandwidth for applications critical to the retail business, policy-based routing, setting appropriate priorities for critical applications and collecting metrics for WAN bandwidth utilization will be some key areas of focus for the ASE portfolio.
