Job Description
Successful individuals in this role will be network engineers with a strong background in Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies, who work well and communicate effectively with others, are self-starting, creative, and able to think through a project from start to finish. Our network engineers are expected to take total ownership of our customers' networks; from architecture, design, and documentation through deployment and maintenance.
Company engineers have a great deal of autonomy, and are expected to be able to manage their time effectively. This position requires an individual who is able to work successfully in a virtual environment, and who does not require direct supervision. Candidates should be able to work with a remote team, and to take constructive feedback and input from other engineers. Some travel may be required.
What makes our company different than other companies?
1 - The consulting nature of the company means we're outside the red tape, beauracracy, and politics that bog down many engineers in other organizations
2 - Less time is spent in non-productive meetings, more time is spent on actual networking and achieving results
3 - Quality of life - Company engineers have more flexibility to work from home or, if they choose to, from the customer site, when it is most convenient for them
4 - Company engineers are compensated for hard work - the more you work, the more you get paid!
5 - Our engineers work as a collaborative team with other smart engineers sharing knowledge, experience, and design ideas to help each other learn new skills and grow.
6 - Company customers entrust their network to our engineers who oversee all aspects from policy to vendor selection to design.
7 - The opportunity to work with new technologies and large scale (inter)national backbones goes far beyond what any single network could provide, because our engineers work on so many different networks, each with their own unique challenges, requirements, and business goals.
8 - Here engineers can get back to what they love, and what they do best -engineering!
