Senior Network Engineer

Do you love a challenging and fast paced environment? Can you troubleshoot your connection through an AP, to a switch, through a router, through the firewall, through the SDN, and into a cloud? Do you have experience in application aware next-generation firewalls? Can you do it all from unboxing a switch to configuring RADIUS authentication for an AP to troubleshooting BGP peering issues over a VPN connection to automating a configuration deployment to 100 switches at once? Do you make Visio floorplans of the furniture layout in your house? Do you speak in acronyms like TCP/IP, DNS, EIGRP, AAA, DNS, BGP, OSFP, SSH, 802.1x and others?

If the answer is yes – you might be a fit – and you’ll deserve a free cold beer in the company break room at the end of the day.
