• Own design and implementation work across LAN, WLAN, WAN, and SD-WAN
• Provide 2nd and 3rd line support for complex incidents and changes

• Create and maintain configuration standards, technical documentation, and procedures
• Train and mentor other team members as needed
• Partner with IT leadership and a global network competence lead
• Travel up to 25% as needed

What We're Looking For

• Significant hands-on experience in a Cisco infrastructure environment
• Expertise across DNS, LAN, WAN, WLAN, VPN, TLS, SD-WAN, and subnetting
• Experience with enterprise and global network architectures and topologies
• Data center experience, both wired and wireless
• Cisco DNA and Cisco ISE experience is a plus
• Exposure to Microsoft 365, Azure, SQL, VMware, servers, and VoIP is a plus
• CCNA or higher preferred
• Technical degree, bachelor's, or equivalent hands-on experience
• Humble, collaborative approach. This is a lean team where everyone contributes
• Comfortable with hands-on work, including occasional lifting up to 50 lbs

Why You'll Like It

• Real ownership of a global network rather than a narrow slice of one
• Design and build work, not just maintenance
• Direct visibility with IT leadership on a small team
• A path to a permanent role through contract-to-hire
• Strong benefits package including 401k match and annual bonus
