Role Overview

We’re looking for a Network Engineer to own and modernize our enterprise LAN/WAN and voice environment. You’ll design, implement, and support network and perimeter security solutions, serve as an escalation point for complex issues, and help drive initiatives around SD-WAN, SASE, and automation.

What You’ll Do
  • Design, implement, and support enterprise LAN/WAN infrastructure across branches, data centers, and offices.
  • Manage and optimize routing, switching, and network services (TCP/IP, VLANs, STP, OSPF, BGP, QoS).
  • Support and enhance our SD-WAN/SASE environment (Cato Networks) and perimeter security solutions.
  • Administer and support Microsoft Teams Phone and related voice/network integrations.
  • Act as an escalation point for complex network and voice incidents, including root cause analysis and long-term fixes.
  • Lead and contribute to network architecture improvements, capacity planning, and disaster recovery planning.
  • Develop and maintain network documentation, diagrams, standards, and runbooks.
  • Partner with security, infrastructure, and application teams on cross-functional projects and change management.
  • Drive network automation initiatives using tools like Ansible and Power Shell to reduce manual tasks and improve consistency.
Must-Have Qualifications
  • 5+ years of hands‑on Network Engineering experience in an enterprise environment.
  • Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, VLANs, STP, OSPF, BGP, QoS, routing, and switching.
  • Proven experience supporting and troubleshooting complex LAN/WAN infrastructure.
  • Experience with firewalls, VPNs, and network security concepts.
  • Comfort serving as an escalation point and owning issues through resolution.
  • Solid documentation, communication, and cross‑team collaboration skills.
Nice-to-Have Experience
  • Arista switching or similar enterprise switching platforms.
  • Cato Networks SD-WAN/SASE or other SD‑WAN technologies (Velo Cloud, Fortinet, Meraki, Silver Peak, etc.).
  • Microsoft Teams Phone or other enterprise voice/UC platforms (Cisco, Avaya, Zoom Phone).
  • Ansible and/or Power Shell for infrastructure automation.
  • Experience working in banking, financial services, or other regulated environments.
  • Exposure to APIs, REST/JSON, and infrastructure‑as‑code workflows.
Why This Role
  • Ownership:
    Direct influence on the design, performance, and security of a multi‑site enterprise network instead of just working tickets.
  • Stability and benefits:
    Join a stable financial institution with great benefits and a long‑term view on employees and technology investments.
  • Growth:
    Build deeper skills in SD‑WAN/SASE, voice, and automation while working closely with experienced infrastructure and security teams.
