## Description

Our partner is looking for a senior technical authority to own enterprise networking and network security infrastructure across some of the most demanding environments in the industry: aerospace engineering, manufacturing, live mission operations, corporate systems, and government programs.

These are networks that genuinely cannot go down, and this role carries real responsibility for architecture, implementation, modernization, and security across all of them.

You'll need deep, hands-on expertise in Juniper routing and switching along with Palo Alto Networks security technologies.

This is a role for someone who can lead complex infrastructure initiatives independently, mentor technical staff, and stay hands-on rather than just managing from a distance.

The person in this seat is the one who keeps availability, security, and performance solid when it matters most.

This is a strong fit for someone who wants senior-level ownership over infrastructure that supports mission-critical work, not just another network admin job.
