Network Engineer

Description

On-site role, but open to hybrid

Must-Have Skills:

• 2+ years of Network Engineering, Linux/Unix, and SCRIPT experience
• Experience designing and building networks (not seeking deployment engineers)
• Basic knowledge of computer hardware as it relates to data storage
• Knowledge of computer software, such as configuration management software, desktop communications software, operating system software and internet directory services software

Role Mandate:

The main function of a network engineer is to determine user requirements and design specifications for computer networks. A typical network engineer is responsible for planning and implementing network upgrades. The individual will be responsible for provisioning some data center network equipment.

Candidate Value Proposition:

• The ideal candidate will be able to understand and execute python scripts and have network engineering device background.
• There are playbooks, runbooks, wikis, and documentations to support the individual to be successful in their role, while working alongside an engineer.
• This is a great opportunity to land in the middle of network engineering.

Role Responsibilities (including, but not limited to):

• Adjust network sizes to meet volume or capacity demands
• Communicate with customers, sales staff, or marketing staff to determine customer needs
• Coordinate network operations, maintenance, repairs or upgrades
• Design, build, or operate equipment configuration prototypes, including network hardware, software, servers, or server operation systems
• Determine specific network hardware or software requirements such as platforms, interfaces, bandwidths, or routine schemas
• Develop and implement solutions for network problems

Educational Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science or a related field required.

Notes:

• Understand what networking protocols look like
• Previous batch of candidates have deployment experience but this is not what team is looking for (only ability to make changes to server)
• Candidates must know / understand networking
• Expectation of software engineering (not level where writing c++ code) but someone who can write a script using basic logic (python, c++)
• Able to have some sort of scripting knowledge (not software engineer but a scriptor)
• Experience working with languages
