Reusable systems with frequent launch cadence are the key to seamlessly connecting Earth and space. A highly operable, reliable, and robust network infrastructure is an integral part of a fully reusable launch system. As a Network Systems Engineer on Stoke Space's Information Technology team, you'll deploy, document and maintain robust network architectures, cloud infrastructure integration and related network services (DNS, DHCP, VPN, etc.) that meet our rapidly growing needs while facilitating a successful startup culture as we race towards our first launch of Nova. We are a small and motivated team, and you will work across the entire Stoke organization and bring expertise in networking technologies, security best practices, and performance optimization. This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced startup environment - ideal for someone who thrives on autonomy, technical depth, and cross-functional collaboration. The ideal candidate will have experience working within NIST frameworks and ensuring network security compliance. You must be ready to stay focused, move fast, self-direct, and learn on the fly. Responsibilities * Design, implement, and manage enterprise network infrastructure, including LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, VPN, firewalls, and cloud-based networking solutions * Ensure network security through proper configuration, monitoring, and adherence to security policies and NIST frameworks * Collaborate with IT and security teams to develop and maintain secure network access policies/ACLs * Lead network upgrades, migrations, and system integrations to support business growth and technology advancements * Implement automation and monitoring tools to proactively detect and resolve network issues * Document network configurations, processes, and standard operating procedures * Assist remote teams including IT, software, and avionics with on-site support of various ranges of equipment and software tools as we build and begin to operate our launch complex at Cape Canaveral * Perform additional duties as assigned to support organizational goals and objectives * Occasional travel to other Stoke facilities ## Related Videos - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Back to CODE100](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1909-wearedevelopers-live-back-to-code100) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [How Cisco embraced a DevOps culture within its network engineering team](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/99-how-cisco-embraced-a-devops-culture-within-its-network-engineering-team) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Small, Secure, Interconnected: The next Internet Protocol](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100062-small-secure-interconnected-the-next-internet-protocol) - [Discover the open source trio you didn’t expect: .NET and PostgreSQL on Linux](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2042-discover-the-open-source-trio-you-didn-t-expect-net-and-postgresql-on-linux) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [Basic And Advanced Networking in Dart and Flutter](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/112-basic-and-advanced-networking-in-dart-and-flutter) - [Why Attend a Developer Event in 2026?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/688-why-attend-a-developer-event-in-2026)
