About the Role

As a Senior Network Engineer, you will manage client network infrastructure within a global team, focusing on observability, operations, architecture, and resiliency. You will resolve complex incidents, deliver network changes, investigate recurring problems, and improve reliability through automation, assessment, and knowledge sharing. You will collaborate with various teams to prevent issues, strengthen operational readiness, and enable colleagues to handle routine work.

Responsibilities

  • Support global service coverage with clear handoffs documenting client impact, diagnostic evidence, next actions, and ownership.
  • Resolve complex routing, switching, wireless, firewall, VPN, certificate, and performance issues within approved standards; escalate high-risk or nonstandard decisions to technical leadership.
  • Investigate recurring incidents, document root cause findings and corrective actions, and coordinate with technical teams, vendors, and carriers to deliver lasting fixes.
  • Provide accurate impact, recovery, and remediation updates to incident coordinators and client-facing teams, supporting clear communication without owning the wider incident or client relationship.
  • Validate network assessments and automated findings against technical evidence, prioritize compliance, vulnerability, and lifecycle risks, and track remediation. Use manual review where automation is unproven and follow security policy for corrective actions.
  • Plan and execute complex changes, maintenance, and upgrades with risk assessment, testing, rollback, and post-change validation under approved change controls.
  • Implement approved designs, office deployments, VPN solutions, and network refreshes. Partner with architecture and delivery teams to ensure resiliency, observability, supportability, and readiness for ongoing operations.
  • Support client onboarding, offboarding, and service transitions by validating inventory, access, monitoring, documentation, and support ownership.
  • Enable shift-left by developing tested runbooks and mentoring colleagues to handle routine work safely, with appropriate access, training, rollback steps, escalation guidance, and outcome checks.
  • Identify automation opportunities and work with development teams on requirements, acceptance testing, adoption, and measurable benefits. Use approved AI tools for troubleshooting, documentation, and scripting with human review and client-data protection.
  • Contribute recommendations to service reviews and deliver planned reliability improvements that reduce repeat incidents, manual effort, change failures, and network risk.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field or an equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
  • At least 8 years of network support and project delivery experience, including complex troubleshooting, controlled changes, and reliability improvement.
  • Strong experience applying ITIL best practices for incident management, change enablement, and problem management.
  • Expert level technical certifications such as CCIE or training equivalent.
  • Hands-on experience with Cisco Meraki, Cisco ISR and Catalyst switches, Palo Alto, and FortiGate networking equipment.
  • Working experience with Palo Alto Panorama for centralized firewall policy management, change implementation, and troubleshooting.
  • Advanced troubleshooting across routing, switching, wireless, firewalls, VPNs (GlobalProtect and AnyConnect), certificates, and network performance.
  • Strong understanding of networking protocols, security principles, and best practices.
  • Experience delivering network changes and approved designs, including risk assessment, testing, rollback, and transition to support.
  • Clear written and verbal communication, strong client-service skills, and the ability to explain technical issues and manage expectations.
  • Ability to write tested runbooks, mentor colleagues, and collaborate across global engineering and service teams.
  • Self-motivated, adaptable, and able to prioritize competing demands in a fast-paced team environment.
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail in root cause investigation, network assessments, and risk prioritization.
  • Practical experience with ServiceNow for incident, problem, change, and request management, plus network monitoring and observability, scripting or workflow automation, and acceptance testing; ability to validate AI-assisted work and protect client data.
