Sr. Network Engineer​/Onsite​/Miami

About The Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior Network Engineer to support a U.S. government client's mission‑critical communications and data infrastructure in the Miami, FL area. This is a fully onsite position supporting a program that provides continuous, live operational support to partner organizations, with a strong focus on full‑motion video and real‑time data feed reliability.

• Serve as the senior onsite technical resource for network engineering and platform‑adjacent support, ensuring uptime and reliability of live data and video feeds.
• Design, plan, and help architect the growth of the site’s technical capability, including staffing and resourcing recommendations.
• Manage and troubleshoot Cisco‑based network infrastructure, including firewalls, supporting the connection between on‑premise hardware and a cloud‑based Kubernetes environment.
• Partner with a peer team supporting an equivalent, geographically separate program to align standards, share lessons learned, and receive knowledge transfer during ramp‑up.
• Support day‑to‑day operational needs and coordinate with government stakeholders on capability requirements and priorities.
• Mentor and help train a second, more junior team member onsite.

• 10+ years of progressive network engineering experience, ideally within a defense, federal, or other mission‑critical environment.
• Strong hands‑on expertise with Cisco networking and security appliances (routing, switching, firewalls).
• Working familiarity with cloud‑based Kubernetes platforms and how they interconnect with on‑premise systems (platform engineering exposure is a plus, not a requirement).
• Prior military service, or extensive experience supporting defense‑sector environments, strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to operate independently in a senior, client‑facing technical role — comfortable with architecture, planning, and staffing conversations, not just hands‑on‑keyboard work.
• Excellent communication skills and the judgment to operate in a high‑visibility, live‑operations environment.

An active U.S. Government security clearance is required. TS/SCI is preferred; candidates with an active Secret clearance and strong qualifications will also be considered.

This position is 100% onsite in the Miami, FL area. This is not a remote or hybrid role.

Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. Details will be discussed during the interview process.
