• Drive problem management and continuous improvement by identifying recurring issues, leading root‑cause analysis, and implementing corrective actions to improve availability and reduce MTTR.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, information systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Five+ years of progressive experience in enterprise network engineering/operations (LAN/WAN, routing/switching, wireless, firewalls, load balancers, and circuit/provider management).
• 1+ years of experience leading others (people leadership or strong technical lead experience), including work planning, coaching, and coordinating on‑call/operational coverage.
• Demonstrated experience with change control and operational processes (incident, problem, and change management), including clear communications and documentation.
• Strong troubleshooting skills across multi‑vendor environments and the ability to lead technical resolution during high‑severity incidents.
• Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong customer focus; clear communicator who can translate technical issues into impact, status, and next steps for both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Hands‑on experience with cloud/hybrid networking concepts (e.g., connectivity, segmentation, remote access) and network monitoring/observability tools.
