Job description

Junior Network Engineer (0-2 yers of experience)

ShipMonk isn't just a 3PL — we're the tech-powered growth partner for ecommerce brands, running 12+ owned fulfillment centers across the US, Canada, the UK, and Europe so our merchants can stress less and grow more.

We're hiring a Network Engineer I to help keep our multi-site network running smoothly. You'll work alongside senior engineers, get hands-on with enterprise-scale infrastructure, and build a real foundation for a networking career — without being thrown in at the deep end.

What You'll Do

• Monitor network systems and respond to alerts, escalating complex issues to senior engineers
• Support day-to-day maintenance of our WAN/LAN infrastructure and site connectivity
• Assist with configuration changes, patching, and troubleshooting for switches, routers, and firewalls
• Keep network documentation and diagrams current
• Help end users resolve connectivity and hardware issues
• Triage alerts in tools like DataDog and log recurring issues for senior review

What You'll Bring

• 0–2 years of hands-on IT or network support experience (internships and personal lab work count)
• A solid grasp of networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, VLANs, DNS/DHCP, basic routing and switching
• 0-2 years experience with WiFi, heatmapping, capacity designing and infrastructure design as nice to haves
• 0-2 years experience with Ubiquiti and Unifi products
• Comfort following documented procedures and escalation paths
• Strong communication skills — you'll work directly with end users
• Associate's or Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent experience

Nice to Have

• CompTIA Network+ or Cisco CCNA (or working toward one). Exposure to firewalls, VPNs, or SD-WAN environments is a plus — we'll train you on our stack either way.
• Ubiquiti URSCA or other Ubiquiti certificates preferred
