We are seeking an experienced network engineer to design, document, deploy and operate our network infrastructure. The ideal candidate will have experience with FortiGate firewalls, Cisco Wi-Fi and networking equipment, VPNs, DNS, DHCP, and a range of network technologies, including routers and switches.
This individual should consistently act with empathy, always displaying a customer orientation. Execution is key, and the ability of this individual to take action on their own with little input or direction from leadership is key. The individual should have demonstrable, extensive experience designing and operating datacenter infrastructure, network, and compute.
The right individual for this role lives by an automation-first philosophy. If a problem or question occurs more than once, the right solve is not to perform the work twice, but to perform it once and automate it the second time. The person lives and breathes scale, and considers every ask and action in the context of how far this requirement will scale in the future. Finally, the individual does all of this securely, ensuring that intellectual property and that of its customers always remains secure.
