Description

Job Summary: Are you the type of person who dreams in IP addresses and has a favorite subnet mask? Then you’re in the right place. We need a Network Engineer who can keep our digital highways running smoothly and, more importantly, can keep us laughing when things get too serious. If you can troubleshoot a BGP issue while cracking a joke about it, we need to talk.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, configure, and manage network infrastructure using enterprise class technologies

• Keep an eagle eye on network performance, making sure it’s always in beast mode.

• Troubleshoot network issues faster than you can say "Did you try turning it off and on again?"

• Implement network security measures that make hackers cry.

• Collaborate with awesome teams to ensure new projects roll out as smooth as a fresh cat5 cable.

• Maintain network documentation—yes, we know it’s not glamorous, but you can doodle in the margins.

• Conduct regular network assessments, because we’re always trying to be better. (And by "we," we mean you.)

• Stay up-to-date with the latest trends, or at least pretend to during meetings.

• Mentor junior engineers—don’t worry, you’ll be their hero.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or the School of Hard Knocks (or equivalent experience).

• 5+ years of experience in network engineering, ideally with Cisco and Juniper as your sidekicks.

• Proficiency in wrangling Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls like a pro.

• Fluent in network protocols: BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, MPLS, VLANs. (If these sound like alphabet soup, we’re in trouble.)

• A master of network security practices—VPNs, IDS/IPS, and all that jazz.

• Familiarity with network monitoring tools, because how else will you know when something’s on fire?

• Cisco certifications (CCNA, CCNP) and/or Juniper certifications (JNCIA, JNCIS) are a big plus—think of them as your network superhero badges.

• Problem-solving skills that make Sherlock Holmes look like an amateur.

• Strong communication skills—because sometimes you’ll need to explain what a router does to non-techies.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with cloud networking (e.g., AWS, Azure) and SD-WAN—because we live in the future now.

• Scripting and automation know-how

• Experience in a multi-vendor environment, because variety is the spice of life.

  Requirements

• Demonstrated experience as a Network Engineer in an enterprise environment

• Experience working in a Datacenter

• Industry Certifications

• Knowledge of enterprise networking protocols

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot network issues

• Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining complex network concepts to non-technical team members

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team

• Willingness to stay updated on the latest industry trends and emerging network technologies.
