IT Engineer Network

We’re looking for an experienced Network Engineer to design, implement, and maintain our global network infrastructure. This role combines technical expertise with hands-on execution across wired and wireless networks, audiovisual systems, and office expansion projects. You’ll play a key role in ensuring that our global workforce stays connected, secure, and supported through reliable and scalable network solutions.

If you thrive in a collaborative, people-first environment and value humility, humor, self-awareness, and quality, you’ll feel right at home here.

• Network Design & Implementation: Design, configure, and deploy secure, scalable LAN/WAN and wireless solutions across global offices.

• Maintenance & Operations: Monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot network infrastructure to ensure optimal performance and uptime.

• Security & Compliance: Implement and maintain firewalls, VPNs, and access controls in alignment with security and compliance standards.

• AV & Collaboration Support: Support and maintain AV systems and conferencing technology for hybrid meetings and corporate events.

• Office Expansion Projects: Partner with Workplace and IT teams to plan and execute network infrastructure for new offices and expansions.

• Monitoring & Optimization: Use tools such as Logic Monitor, Aruba Dashboard, or equivalent platforms to monitor performance, identify issues, and improve reliability.

• Documentation: Maintain accurate documentation of network topology, configurations, and standard operating procedures.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with endpoint, collaboration, and security teams to ensure seamless technology integration and user experience.

• Vendor Management: Coordinate with external vendors and service providers to procure, install, and support networking and AV hardware.

• You’ll have a direct impact on the performance, reliability, and scalability of our global IT infrastructure.

• We prioritize thoughtful, data-driven decisions and encourage innovation through experimentation.

• Our team values humor, honesty, and collaboration, creating a culture where you can be yourself and do your best work.

• We support continuous learning and growth with opportunities to explore new technologies and expand your technical skill set.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).

• Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in network engineering or infrastructure operations, preferably in a global or multi-site environment.

• Technical Skills:

• • Core Networking: A deep and demonstrable understanding of fundamental networking concepts, including TCP/IP, VLANs, routing/switching protocols (e.g., BGP, OSPF), VPNs, DNS, and DHCP.

  • Hardware Platforms: Hands-on experience with networking platforms from major vendors such as Cisco, Aruba, Palo Alto, and/or other equivalent enterprise-grade hardware.

  • Emerging Technologies: Familiarity with and/or experience in modern networking technologies, including SD-WAN, cloud networking (AWS) and Network Monitoring Tools

  • Security & SaaS: Experience with security platforms and cloud-native solutions, with Netskope experience being a plus.

  • Collaboration Systems: Working knowledge of AV systems and conferencing technologies (e.g., Zoom Rooms, Neat).

  • Other Beneficial Skills: Any experience with scripting/automation (e.g., Python, Ansible) or network automation tools is a plus.

• Soft Skills:

• • Problem-Solving: Excellent problem-solving abilities, with a proven track record of using Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to identify underlying issues and implement sustainable solutions.

  • Communication: Clear and effective communication, both written and verbal, particularly in the context of creating and documenting change control procedures.

Collaboration: A collaborative mindset with the ability to work cross-functionally and manage stakeholder relationships during the change control process.
