Senior Network Engineer (Information Technology)

The Position

The Senior Network Engineer will be the hands-on subject matter expert (SME) responsible for architecting, implementing, monitoring and maintaining all company networks and network equipment.   We have adopted a Cisco networking standard for all switch, router, and firewall hardware and as such we need someone with deep hands-on practical Cisco networking experience.  Our wide area network (WAN) consists of 106 sites across the United States, Canada, and Mexico with a mixture of MPLS and VPN (IPSEC) tunneled connections.  A network redesign effort is underway to migrate to Fortinet SDWAN from the current MPLS design.

Our ideal candidate will succeed with the following traits:

• Ability to take direction and manage competing priorities, while also being self-driven in managing tasks and workloads
• Don't be afraid to challenge the status quo and be diligent in investigating, suggesting, and implementing best practice configurations.
• Works equally well in a team setting and as an individual contributor.  This position will be heavily involved in both team and individual projects.
• Be a great multitasker.
• Be strategic and think long term in the design and implementation of new networking methodologies.
• Be a great troubleshooter and committed to a production support mindset.  The ability to properly and thoroughly troubleshoot technical issues through to resolution independently is of great value and necessary in this position.
