- Lead infrastructure design & technical direction, mentoring and guiding junior engineers along the way.
- Take ownership of network operations, including switching, routing, firewalls, wireless, VPN, compute, and storage.
- Support and transform legacy infrastructure, migrating systems to a cloud-first, automation-driven model.
- Partner with DevOps, TechOps, InfoSec, and Engineering teams to ensure systems are resilient, scalable, and secure.
- Play a key role in disaster recovery planning, capacity management, and incident response.
- Continuously evaluate and adopt new technologies that drive business value and operational efficiency.
What You Bring
- 10+ years in enterprise-level system/network design and support.
- Deep expertise in cloud networking (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and hybrid environments.
- Proven experience with:
- Palo Alto firewalls and Panorama
- Juniper switching and routing
- VXLAN, EVPN, OSPF, BGP
- Enterprise Wi-Fi, NAC, VPNs, and RADIUS/LDAP auth
- Linux/Windows, Infrastructure-as-Code (Ansible, Terraform), and scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash)
- Strong leadership, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
- A proactive mindset with a bias for action, always looking to improve performance, security, and resilience.
Bonus Points
- Certifications: PCNSE, JNCIP/JNCIE, AWS/Azure certs, CCSP, ITIL
- Experience with monitoring, forensic investigation tools, and configuration management (Chef, Puppet, Ansible)
- Familiarity with agile or DevSecOps environments
Why This Role?
- Hands-on, high-impact: You're not just designing-you're building, mentoring, and evolving the infrastructure.
- Forward-looking tech stack: Embrace modern cloud, automation, and network security technologies.
- Hybrid flexibility: Work in a collaborative, adaptable environment that values innovation and ownership.
- Lead the change: Help drive the transformation from legacy to modern platforms across global infrastructure.
If you're a technical leader who thrives on challenge, complexity, and continuous improvement-we want to hear from you.
