This is not a maintenance role and it is not a traditional support position. We are specifically seeking engineers who have built environments from the ground up. Candidates should have experience with greenfield infrastructure deployments, data center buildouts, rack-and-stack initiatives, site standups, and enterprise infrastructure implementations. TRAVEL REQUIRED Candidates can be located anywhere in the United States but must be willing to travel during deployment activities. The project begins onsite in Dallas where the team will stand up secure infrastructure racks before traveling to Cedar Rapids to replicate the environment as part of the overall disaster recovery and continuity strategy. Travel expenses, hotel accommodations, rental vehicle, and per diem are provided. ABOUT THE INITIATIVE This initiative is focused on building a Secure Development Environment (SDE) designed to support classified engineering and development programs. The team will be responsible for standing up secure infrastructure from the ground up, including networking infrastructure, virtualization platforms, storage systems, identity services, encryption technologies, monitoring platforms, backup solutions, and disaster recovery capabilities. This engineer will play a critical role in building the network foundation that supports the overall Secure Development Environment while helping bring a brand-new secure engineering platform online across multiple sites., * Lead Cisco network deployments * Configure OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP routing * Deploy and configure Cisco switching infrastructure * Support rack-and-stack build activities * Design secure network segmentation solutions * Integrate networking solutions with virtualized infrastructure * Create network architecture documentation * Support operational readiness and deployment activities, Network Routing Cisco Networking Cisco DNA Center Security Controls Business Valuation Systems Engineering Network Engineering Top Secret Clearance Network Segmentation Network Architecture Full Stack Development Artificial Intelligence Development Environment Business Transformation Engineering Documentation Engineering Design Process Configuration Documentation Python (Programming Language) Cisco Networking Infrastructure Troubleshooting (Problem Solving) CompTIA Advanced Security Practitioner (CASP+) Certified Information Systems Security Professional Top Secret-Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI Clearance) +0 Google IT Support Senior Network Engineer (CCNP) - Active Security Clearance Required TEKsystems Dallas, TX*Remote Operations Encryption Virtualization Cisco Switching Cisco Networking Network Security Disaster Recovery Business Valuation Security Clearance Network Engineering Network Architecture Full Stack Development Artificial Intelligence Development Environment Business Transformation Border Gateway Protocol Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Cisco Certified Network Professional Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocols +0 ## Related Videos - [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) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Creating a routing app with Google Maps API from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/831-creating-a-routing-app-with-google-maps-api-from-scratch) - [Your Infrastructure Is Not a Playground: AI Agents for Infra Done Right](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2084-your-infrastructure-is-not-a-playground-ai-agents-for-infra-done-right) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [A Technical Introduction to Bitcoin's 2nd Layer- The Lightning Network](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/15-a-technical-introduction-to-bitcoin-s-2nd-layer-the-lightning-network) ## Related Articles - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking)
