Position

We’re looking for a Senior Network Engineer to own and evolve our enterprise network across multi‑site and cloud environments. You’ll be a key technical voice shaping infrastructure strategy, driving security posture through zero‑trust principles, and ensuring high availability for business‑critical systems — all while working remotely on a collaborative, senior‑level team.

Responsibilities
  • Design & Architecture
    • Architect scalable, resilient network solutions including routing/switching, SD‑WAN, firewalls, VPN, QoS, and zero‑trust segmentation.
    • Define requirements, evaluate technologies, and lead infrastructure changes from design through implementation.
    • Develop and maintain business continuity and disaster recovery plans for all network components.
  • Operations & Maintenance
    • Perform proactive maintenance — patching, upgrades, tuning, and health monitoring across the networking estate.
    • Manage vulnerability findings and vendor security advisories for network equipment and systems.
    • Maintain accurate network documentation, configuration baselines, and topology diagrams.
    • Own and resolve network‑related incidents and service requests, driving issues to resolution.
  • Collaboration & Strategy
    • Partner with security, infrastructure, and application teams to support firm‑wide initiatives.
    • Evaluate emerging technologies and translate their impact into actionable recommendations.
    • Serve as a technical mentor and backup resource across the Network Engineering team.
    • Communicate clearly with technical and non‑technical stakeholders at all levels.
Qualifications
  • 10+ years of hands‑on network engineering experience across multi‑site enterprise environments
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field — or equivalent professional experience.
  • Palo Alto Firewalls – Production deployment, policy management, and troubleshooting of Palo Alto NGFW (Panorama experience a strong plus).
  • Cisco ACI – Hands‑on experience with Nexus 9300/9000 series in ACI mode — fabric design, EPG/contract configuration, and troubleshooting.
  • Proven ability to architect, implement, and troubleshoot complex, multi‑vendor network infrastructure.
  • Strong documentation habits – you leave networks better documented than you found them.
  • Ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into clear, implementable technical designs.
  • Excellent communication skills – comfortable presenting to both engineers and executives.
  • Strong project management instincts with the ability to juggle multiple work streams independently.
  • A collaborative, team‑first mentality balanced with the ability to drive work autonomously.
  • Routing & Switching
    • Deep expertise in enterprise routing protocols (OSPF, BGP) and switching (VLANs, port channels, spanning tree, QoS) across multi‑site environments.
    • Cisco certification at the professional or expert level (CCNP, CCDP, or CCIE) strongly preferred.
    • Experience in professional services, financial services, or legal industry environments.
    • Familiarity with network automation tooling (Ansible, Python/Netmiko, Terraform for network infra).
    • Experience with public cloud networking (AWS, Azure) and hybrid connectivity patterns.
    • Exposure to Panorama for centralized Palo Alto management at scale.
  • Core Networking
    • SD‑WAN (Silver Peak / HPE Aruba Edge Connect) — deployment, policy, and optimization
    • DMVPN, IPSec VPN, and secure remote access architectures
    • Load balancing (Citrix Net Scaler / ADC) — configuration, SSL offload, and health monitoring
    • Wireless networking via Cisco Meraki — deployment, RF planning, and troubleshooting
    • Network tapping and packet capture solutions for visibility and forensics
  • Security & Zero Trust
    • Zscaler (ZIA/ZPA) — implementation, policy configuration, and troubleshooting
    • ACL development and firewall policy lifecycle management
    • Zero‑trust network segmentation principles and implementation
    • WAF configuration and proxy infrastructure
  • Collaboration & Voice
    • Cisco Call Manager (CUCM) and Unity Connection — administration and troubleshooting
    • Network monitoring and management platforms (Solar Winds, PRTG, or equivalent)
