We are seeking a Network Engineer (REMOTE- US Based Only)for a full time and direct hire role for one of our amazing partners in the United States.
This role is remote, but you MUST be living in the United States and be a US Citizen for Green Card Holder. This role does NOT offer sponsorship, it's NOT a consulting role, and we do NOT work with 3rd parties!

We are seeking a Senior Network Engineer to work with network protocols & devices. You will join a growing software engineering organization developing cloud-based technology that supports large-scale, distributed network environments. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced network engineer who also has strong programming and scripting skills and wants to take the next step into software engineering. The ideal candidate will bring deep, hands‑on experience designing, deploying, and troubleshooting production IP networks, along with expertise in network authentication, multi‑vendor network equipment, automation, and network operations  this role, you’ll initially serve as a network and device subject matter expert while working closely with experienced software engineers.

Over time, you’ll take on increasing responsibility for designing and developing production software services that interact with and control network infrastructure. This is a hands‑on individual contributor role working within an Agile/Scrum development environment.

This role is ideal for a senior network engineer who wants to expand beyond traditional network operations. You’ll bring the networking expertise to the team while working alongside experienced software engineers who can help accelerate your development skills. The long‑term opportunity is to become a hybrid engineer capable of designing both the network infrastructure and the software systems that manage and interact with it.
