You will work with Juniper and Aruba switching and routing, Palo Alto firewalls, AWS networking, VPN technologies, monitoring platforms, and infrastructure automation to build reliable, scalable, and secure networking solutions. This is an engineering-focused role rather than a traditional network operations position. We are looking for someone who enjoys designing scalable infrastructure, automating repetitive tasks, improving platform reliability, and partnering across engineering teams to deliver secure and resilient networking services. You will collaborate closely with Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, Security, Infrastructure, and application teams to support business-critical services while driving operational excellence through automation, observability, and modern networking practices. This role is based in Durham, North Carolina (RTP) and requires regular on-site presence to support laboratory and data center infrastructure. This is an onsite position that requires on call and overtime flexibility., * Design, implement, and support enterprise network infrastructure across campus, laboratory, data center, manufacturing, and AWS cloud environments. * Deploy, maintain, and troubleshoot Juniper and Aruba switching and routing infrastructure, including Layer 2/Layer 3 networking, VLANs, routing protocols, high availability, and modern data center networking technologies. * Configure, maintain, and optimize Palo Alto Networks firewalls, security policies, NAT, VPNs, GlobalProtect, URL filtering, and related security services. * Design, implement, and support AWS networking services including VPCs, Transit Gateway, Route Tables, Security Groups, Network ACLs, Site-to-Site VPNs, Direct Connect integrations, and hybrid connectivity. * Develop infrastructure automation using Python, Ansible, Terraform, PowerShell, or similar technologies to improve provisioning, configuration management, operational consistency, and compliance. * Build and maintain network monitoring, alerting, dashboards, and operational visibility using New Relic and other enterprise monitoring platforms. * Investigate and resolve complex routing, switching, firewall, VPN, cloud networking, DNS, DHCP, and connectivity issues across hybrid environments. * Partner with Platform Engineering, Cloud Engineering, Security, Infrastructure, and application teams to support new infrastructure deployments, cloud migrations, and strategic platform initiatives. * Participate in infrastructure lifecycle management, including hardware refreshes, software upgrades, patching, disaster recovery planning, and configuration standardization. * Develop and maintain technical documentation, network diagrams, operational runbooks, and engineering standards. * Participate in an on-call rotation supporting production infrastructure as required. * Leverage modern AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly to improve troubleshooting, automation development, documentation, and operational efficiency. These responsibilities summarize the role's primary responsibilities and are not an exhaustive list.
