The ideal candidate is a highly skilled networking professional with deep expertise in Cisco technologies and a strong track record of independently troubleshooting complex network issues. While this is not a CCIE‑level role, it requires an engineer who can confidently perform deep technical investigations, identify root causes, and implement effective solutions in complex environments.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys balancing operational support with strategic improvements and wants to make an immediate impact within a fast‑paced and evolving organization.

• Provide hands‑on network support, including day‑to‑day troubleshooting, break‑fix activities, and issue resolution.
• Monitor, maintain, and optimize enterprise network infrastructure across multiple locations.
• Perform root cause analysis for network outages, performance issues, and recurring incidents.
• Support and enhance Cisco‑based networking environments, including routing, switching, and software‑defined networking solutions.
• Leverage automation and monitoring tools to improve network reliability and operational efficiency.
• Identify opportunities for platform enhancements and recommend improvements to network architecture and processes.
• Work independently to investigate complex technical challenges and drive issues through resolution.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, security, and operations teams to support organizational initiatives and business objectives.
• Document configurations, troubleshooting processes, and technical recommendations.

• Cisco Catalyst Switching
• Cisco Software-Defined Access (SDA)
• SD-WAN
• Advanced Network Troubleshooting
• Network Monitoring & Performance Management
• Network Automation
• CLI-Based Administration
• Multi-Site Network Infrastructure Support

• Strong hands‑on experience in enterprise networking environments.
• Ability to independently diagnose and resolve complex network issues.
• Deep understanding of Cisco networking technologies and best practices.
• Experience supporting geographically distributed or multi‑site infrastructures.
• Familiarity with modern network automation and monitoring solutions.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills with a proactive approach to issue resolution.
• Ability to quickly learn unfamiliar environments and technologies.
• Comfortable working with limited documentation and creating clarity in complex situations.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across technical teams.

The ideal candidate is a self‑starter who thrives in fast‑paced environments and enjoys tackling complex networking challenges. They are equally comfortable supporting day‑to‑day operational needs and contributing to long‑term infrastructure improvements. Success in this role requires strong technical depth, a sense of ownership, and the ability to operate independently while remaining a collaborative team player.
