The Network Engineer plays a vital role in supporting a hybrid network environment spanning WAN/LAN, data center, and cloud platforms (AWS & Azure).

• Skillfully design and implement management and control solutions, including (but not limited to) Meraki Dashboard, Palo Alto Firewalls, Prisma Access, Cisco ISE, and IDS/IPS systems.
• Administer and troubleshoot Palo Alto Firewalls and GlobalProtect VPN.
• Configure and design network settings, including cloud VNETs, VPCs, VLANs, switches, routers, firewalls, access points, and other devices from multiple vendors.
• Provide peer reviews of implementations, configurations, and documentation.
• Assist and mentor team members on deployments, best practices, and security protocols.
• Engage in continuous learning to stay current on new and emerging technologies.
• Develop and maintain strong relationships with peers and vendor partners.

• Related networking certifications (Cisco CCNA or higher preferred).
• 2+ years of Meraki switch and access point management experience.
