## Description

Insight Global is seeking a TS Network Administrator to sit in Arlington, VA. This is an opportunity to join a highly technical team that values strong networking fundamentals and advanced troubleshooting skills over product-specific experience. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with Cisco networking technologies, Layer 3 networking, routing and switching, OSPF, and BGP in a complex enterprise environment. In this role, you will monitor and maintain network infrastructure, troubleshoot sophisticated network issues, support security initiatives, and participate in network engineering projects. This is not a traditional ticket-escalation NOC position. The team is looking for individuals who understand network architecture, can think critically through problems, and are comfortable working in a highly customized environment. While Palo Alto firewalls are utilized, the team is willing to train candidates who possess strong networking expertise and a proven ability to
learn new technologies quickly.
