You'll Stand Out: * CCNP certification (Enterprise, Security, or Data Center track). * Prior network engineering experience in aerospace, defense, or another ITAR/CMMC-regulated industry. * Familiarity with CMMC 2.0 / NIST 800-171 network boundary and CUI segmentation requirements. * AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty, or equivalent AWS networking credential. * Experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) for network provisioning. ## Description We are seeking an experienced Network Engineer to own and secure the network infrastructure supporting a fast-moving defense engineering organization. This engineer will be responsible for the design, implementation, and reliability of both on-premises and cloud network environments, ensuring performance, security, and compliance in a regulated defense setting. Working closely with IT, security, and engineering teams, this individual will serve as the organization's primary network resource, building infrastructure that supports rapid growth while meeting the demands of a security-sensitive environment. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating independently, enjoys solving complex network problems, and understands how to translate best practices into a resilient, well-documented network. What You'll Do: * Own and maintain production network environments, spanning both on-premises infrastructure (routing, switching, firewalls, WAN/LAN, wireless) and cloud networking in AWS (VPC, subnets, security groups, VPN/Direct Connect, Transit Gateway). * Design and implement network segmentation strategies for regulated, security-sensitive, and compliance-driven environments. * Administer and manage firewall policies (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco ASA, or similar) to protect network boundaries and enforce access controls. * Independently troubleshoot complex, multi-site network issues as the organization's primary network engineering resource. * Maintain rigorous documentation, including network diagrams, IP schemas, configuration baselines, and change records. ## Related Videos - [Infrastructure as Code: The Developer's Secret Weapon](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1221-infrastructure-as-code-the-developer-s-secret-weapon) - [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) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Back to CODE100](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1909-wearedevelopers-live-back-to-code100) - [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) - [Demystifying application networking in the cloud](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/675-demystifying-application-networking-in-the-cloud) - [Implementing Feature Environments with AWS and Terraform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/531-implementing-feature-environments-with-aws-and-terraform) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Best Paying Jobs in Technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/256-best-paying-jobs-in-technology) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [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) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence)
