Computer Networks Virtual Private Networks (VPN) Network Security Transport Layer Computer Networking Systems Firewalls (Computer Science) Cisco

Job description

  • Balance among architecture, engineering, and support that changes as projects and priorities dictate.
  • Worthwhile efforts that provide a constant source of non-repetitive challenges, with no long-term boredom.
  • Owning network systems and projects and follow them through part or all their lifecycles.
  • High OPTEMPO - individuals must be able to self-manage task lists based on communicated priorities

What You’ll Do

  • Architect, engineer, maintain, and troubleshoot enterprise networks (multi-vendor but Cisco-heavy, multi-site, dense with technology). This includes network security.
  • Lead root cause analysis for outages and performance issues.
  • Engaging teams with other expertise on relevant projects and systems.
  • Communicate issues clearly to teammates and leadership and collaborate on resolution.
  • Mentor less-senior engineers and technicians.

Tech Knowledge / Skills

  • Deep understanding of layer 4 and below
  • Expertise and experience with an array of the hardware/software that are primarily associated with those layers: Route/switch, Firewalls, VPNs, SDN, and plenty more. Depth and breadth are both desired, but there is no expectation of ubiquity (or necessarily Ubiquiti)

Requirements

  • 8+ years network engineering experience in secure/cleared environments
  • Active TS clearance
  • Professional certification required; Expert-level preferred (CCIE, JNCIE, etc)
  • Experience with progressive responsibilities that amount to “senior”
  • DoD 8140 compliance required
  • The likely salary range for this position is $140,000-$220,000. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, and contractual agreements and could fall outside of this range.
