• Monitor network performance, identify issues, and implement solutions to maintain network reliability, availability, and performance.
• Support network changes, upgrades, and maintenance activities, including scheduled after-hours or overnight work as needed.
• Troubleshoot network connectivity issues and perform root-cause analysis to resolve technical problems.
• Identify opportunities to improve network operations through automation and process optimization.
• Collaborate with IT teams and other stakeholders to support network initiatives and infrastructure improvements.
• Maintain network documentation, configurations, and change records.

Required Qualifications

• Hands-on experience in network engineering, administration, or infrastructure support.
• Strong working knowledge of Cisco networking technologies.
• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including routing, switching, TCP/IP, and network troubleshooting.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve technical issues.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a broader technical team.
• Willingness to participate in scheduled after-hours or overnight network changes as needed.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with network automation, scripting, or automated network configuration and management.
• Familiarity with F5 technologies.
• Experience with Forcepoint network security solutions.
• Knowledge of Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and related security technologies.

Work Arrangement

• On-site: Five days per week in the office.
• Flexibility following after-hours work: Employees who perform overnight network maintenance or scheduled changes may work from home that day or the following day, as permitted by the team's policies.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a technically strong, resourceful Network Engineer with a solid Cisco foundation, strong troubleshooting skills, and a practical approach to solving problems. Experience with automation is beneficial, while F5, Forcepoint, and WAF expertise can help distinguish candidates but is not required.
