This is a hands-on, high-ownership role - you'll architect, deploy, and manage everything from fiber-connected multi-building networks to secure, air-gapped environments supporting engineering, manufacturing, and compute-intensive workloads. You'll collaborate closely with systems, security, and engineering teams to ensure our networks are fast, reliable, and built for scale. This role includes helping design and optimize high-performance compute (HPC) clusters, ensuring low-latency, high-throughput connectivity for simulation and engineering workloads. It's an opportunity to own foundational infrastructure in a high-growth, technically demanding environment - where precision, reliability, and scalability are key. Responsibilities * Design, deploy, and maintain enterprise and lab networks spanning multiple buildings and facilities. * Architect and operate air-gapped and isolated networks with strict segmentation, access control, and security monitoring. * Collaborate with systems and engineering teams to design and optimize high-performance compute (HPC) clusters and their supporting network infrastructure. * Configure and manage switching, routing, wireless, and firewall systems (Cisco, Fortinet, Juniper, or Unifi). * Implement and maintain fiber-based WAN connectivity between buildings and remote sites. * Manage LAN/WAN infrastructure, including VLANs, VPNs, DNS, DHCP, and QoS configurations. * Integrate on-prem and cloud networking to support Azure and Microsoft 365 hybrid environments. * Deploy and maintain network monitoring and alerting systems (e.g., PRTG, SolarWinds, Grafana, NetBox, Datadog). * Develop resilient architectures with redundancy, observability, and security built in. * Collaborate across IT, security, and engineering teams to support high-performance and secure operations. * Document network designs, configurations, and operational procedures following ITSM and change management best practices. * Troubleshoot and resolve complex networking issues across physical and virtual environments. ## 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) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [An Applied Introduction to eBPF with Go](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1075-an-applied-introduction-to-ebpf-with-go) - [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) - [Turning Container security up to 11 with Capabilities](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/718-turning-container-security-up-to-11-with-capabilities) - [Computer Vision from the Edge to the Cloud done easy](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/263-computer-vision-from-the-edge-to-the-cloud-done-easy) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
