They also have a natural familiarity with similar products from other vendors, such as Fortinet, Palo Alto, HP Aruba, and others. The network engineer is additionally responsible for the architecture and implementation of software-based networks such as Azure cloud-based networks and VMware virtual networking.

The network engineer will work closely with our systems engineers who focus on architecting, configuring, and deploying IT solutions relying on products from VMware, Windows Server, Lenovo Servers, NetApp Storage (SAN), Office 365, and Azure/AWS.
