• Mentor more junior engineers and collaborate in a multi‑level team (IC6, IC5, IC3, IC4) to continuously improve how we operate our global infrastructure.

We Are Looking for a Person Who Has

• 5+ years of experience in enterprise networking or infrastructure engineering, working with critical environments (e.g., large offices, data centers, or mission‑critical operations).
• Strong hands‑on experience with routing and switching, ideally using vendors such as Cisco and/or Juniper.
• Experience implementing and supporting wireless networks, especially with Aruba and/or Cisco wireless solutions.
• Solid experience operating network monitoring and performance tools (e.g., PRTG, SolarWinds, Prometheus, Grafana or similar) in production environments.
• Experience with load balancers (e.g., F5) and DNS‑related components (e.g., ZoneRunner or equivalent).
• Exposure to network security components, such as enterprise firewalls and/or security brokers, and comfort collaborating with security teams in a “security‑first” posture.
• Experience with or strong interest in Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and automation for network configuration and lifecycle management (e.g., GitHub, Terraform, Ansible).
• Ability to lead initiatives and coordinate teams during new office rollouts, complex changes, and incident response.
• Strong problem‑solving skills, ownership mindset, and ability to work in cross‑functional, multicultural teams.
• Intermediate English (spoken and written), with the ability to participate in meetings and collaborate with global teams.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Zero Trust network concepts and security‑driven networking.
• Experience with cloud networking (e.g., connectivity to public clouds) and hybrid environments.
• Experience with security mindset and encryption topics (e.g., secure protocols, network segmentation), even if not your primary specialization.
• Prior experience in distributed or global organizations.
