  • Experience with hybrid-cloud networking, WAN concepts, and firewalling

What you will do:
  • Deploy, patch, and optimize all network resources in the company across 15+ locations, 2 data centers, and an MPLS-connected wide-area-network
  • Lead all aspects of patching (done with a third-party firm) for all network equipment and ensure adequate testing

  • Resolve issues raised by cloud and local infrastructure alerts
  • Automate tasks and monitor their effectiveness

  • Suggest improvements to network performance, capacity, and scalability
  • And other responsibilities as required
