Lead Network Engineer

We're looking for a Systems Expert to take full ownership of the infrastructure supporting our two high-energy offices. If you view a well-configured enterprise firewall as a work of art and you possess the Sharepoint skills to transform a chaotic digital workspace, we should talk.

In this role, you aren't just maintaining systems; you are building the foundations that allows our teams to scale without friction.

Your Role

• Network Craftsmanship: ou'll tune our network setups for multi-ISP failover and complex outbound VPN routing, ensuring 100% wireless coverage and network reliability for our on-site teams.

• Infrastructure & Network Mastery: You will design efficient and resilient on-premises and multi-site network infrastructure, implement automation, optimize performance, and ensure high availability and reliability across all network environments.
• Operational Excellence: You own the runbooks. You maintain the documentation and procedures that make our operations repeatable and scalable. You hit your marks (SLA) through automation and efficiency, not by rushing.
• Vendor Diplomat: You act as the technical liaison when 3rd-party providers drop the ball. You speak their language and you ensure swift resolutions.

Who You Are

• The Experienced IT Guru: You bring 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience designing, implementing, and optimizing IT infrastructure in medium to enterprise-scale environments.
• Hybrid Savvy: You're equally comfortable managing both on-premises and cloud environments. From enterprise network infrastructure to public cloud platforms, you can confidently deploy, troubleshoot, optimize, and maintain complex systems.
• The Reliable Pro: You value your work-life balance, which is why you build resilient, automated systems that don't require 3 AM interventions.
• A Tech Communicator: You can translate complex concepts into clear, easy-to-understand language for both technical and non-technical users.
• Documentation Evangelist: You believe that a clear runbook is a gift to your future self and a requirement for a scalable team.
• A Log Whisperer: You enjoy looking at logs to find the Why behind an incident.

Tech Stack
