Working closely with engineering teams and stakeholders to develop technical solutions
Contributing to network architecture, design reviews and infrastructure improvements
Providing technical leadership within your area of expertise

8+ years of network engineering experience
Strong experience with Juniper networking technologies preferred
Cisco networking experience also considered
Experience designing, implementing and maintaining enterprise networks
Strong knowledge of TCP/IP networking and associated protocols
Experience with routing protocols including OSPF, EIGRP and BGP
Experience with LAN, WAN and network security technologies
