Network Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and operate secure, scalable enterprise networks across offices, labs, campuses, PoPs, cloud connectivity, and hybrid environments.
• Set strategic direction for network services through architecture, standards, roadmaps, lifecycle planning, capacity strategy, and measurable reliability outcomes.
• Own production operations, including on-call, incident response, escalations, and time-sensitive delivery.
• Use incident learning, problem management, ticket trends, and telemetry to eliminate recurring failure modes through automation, Infrastructure as Code, and safer operating standards.
• Develop dashboards, telemetry, alerts, and health checks for actionable visibility into network performance and failure domains.
• Implement and operate routing, switching, wireless, WAN, Internet edge, firewall, NAC, segmentation, and core network services.
• Lead network changes, migrations, refreshes, site launches, and service improvements from design through validation and operational handoff.
• Partner with security and identity teams to apply least privilege, Zero Trust principles, RBAC, device identity, and appropriate access controls.
