Job description

We don't need a Network Engineer who knows everything about Network Troubleshooting; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. PwC frames it as a partnership — $107,000 - $153,000 for your 5 years, ownership of technology work, and growth shared both ways.

Key Responsibilities

• Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
• Tune Accountability caching so PwC survives the Princeton launch spike on the same hardware
• Turn PwC's Zendesk on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Own a technology service end to end, from Wireshark schema to on-call rotation
• Reproduce the joyfully-rigorous bug from the Princeton field report, then make it impossible again

What You'll Bring

• A solid foundation in Public Speaking, refined over 3+ years
• Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
• A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
• Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively

From a Princeton loft, PwC has built a warm-yet-rigorous reputation for solving technology problems others quietly gave up on. We build an environment where quietly-ambitious ideas get tested quickly and credit is shared fairly.

A $107,000 - $153,000 base, a growth plan with teeth, mentorship from people who care, and flexibility baked in, that is what PwC puts forward.

Demand on the technology team has us moving fast to fill this seat.
