Qualifications

• 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

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

• On‑call or after‑hours support during incidents or planned maintenance windows
