Position Overview:
- We're hiring a mid-level Network Engineer to own the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and health of a modern, Juniper-based enterprise network.
- The architecture team sets direction and designs the platform; this role keeps it running well - handling moves / adds / changes, monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident resolution across a leaf / spine (Clos) fabric.
- It's an ideal fit for an Engineer with solid hands-on Juniper experience who wants deep operational ownership and a clear path to grow into fabric, automation, and overlay technologies.
Responsibilities:
- Operate and maintain the production network day to day: Juniper EX / QFX switching, Mist wireless, Palo Alto Networks firewalls, and GlobalProtect VPN.
- Perform configuration changes, MACs (moves / adds / changes), and upgrades following change-management processes.
- Monitor network health and respond to alerts, events, and incidents - diagnosing and resolving issues to restore service quickly.
- Troubleshoot connectivity, performance, and wireless issues across the leaf / spine (Clos) fabric.
- Support core network services - DNS, DHCP, and similar - running on open-source platforms.
- Maintain documentation, runbooks, and network diagrams; keep configuration and inventory records current.
- Partner with lead architects to implement designs and feed operational insight back into platform improvements.
- Participate in maintenance windows and (if applicable) an on-call rotation.
Required Qualifications:
- Typically 3-6 years of hands-on enterprise network engineering experience in an operational / support capacity.
- Solid, demonstrable Juniper experience: EX and / or QFX switching, JunOS CLI, and day-to-day configuration and troubleshooting.
- Working familiarity with leaf / spine (Clos) fabrics and EVPN-VXLAN overlays - operating, monitoring, and troubleshooting within the fabric.
- Hands-on experience with Mist wireless (or comparable enterprise Wi-Fi) and Palo Alto Networks firewalls with GlobalProtect VPN.
- Strong fundamentals: L2 / L3 routing and switching, VLANs, BGP / OSPF, and structured troubleshooting methodology.
- Experience using network monitoring / observability platforms (e.g., LibreNMS, Zabbix, SolarWinds, PRTG, Grafana, or the Mist dashboard) to detect and resolve issues.
- Clear communication and documentation habits; comfortable working within change management and ticketing workflows.
Preferred Skills:
- Familiarity with open-source networking suites for DNS, DHCP, and other core network services.
- Basic automation / scripting (Python, Ansible) for repetitive operational tasks.
- Certifications such as JNCIA / JNCIS (Juniper) or PCNSA (Palo Alto).
- Interest in growing into MPLS - not used today, but a possible future direction for the network.
- Previous experience working with Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket) to support project tracking and documentation.
