## About the Role

* Deep understanding of layer 4 and below
 * Expertise and experience with an array of the hardware/software that are primarily associated with those layers: Route/switch, Firewalls, VPNs, SDN, and plenty more. Depth and breadth are both desired, but there is no expectation of ubiquity (or necessarily Ubiquiti)

 * Worthwhile efforts that provide a constant source of non-repetitive challenges, with no long-term boredom.
 * Owning network systems and projects and follow them through part or all their lifecycles.
 * High OPTEMPO - individuals must be able to self-manage task lists based on communicated priorities

What You'll Do

 * Architect, engineer, maintain, and troubleshoot enterprise networks (multi-vendor but Cisco-heavy, multi-site, dense with technology). This includes network security.
