Network Engineer

About the role

The IT and AI Enablement function exists to make Legora itself run as well as the product we sell: secure, automated, and compounding over time. The Workplace Network Engineer owns the network and connectivity estate across every Legora location — the Meraki and Tailscale footprint, from wired and wireless to WAN and the zero-trust mesh — accountable for keeping every site fast, secure, and connected.

Responsibilities

• Own the reference design every site is rolled out from — LAN, Wi-Fi, WAN / SD-WAN, segmentation (VLANs), DNS / DHCP, and firewall policy — so each new office comes up the same proven way.
• Operate the Tailscale zero-trust mesh — ACLs, device posture, and access routing — alongside Information Security, who owns identity and the access policy itself.
• Maintain the Meraki Dashboard as the single source of truth — configuration templates, firmware lifecycle, licensing and inventory, alerting, and capacity planning across all sites.
• Monitor connectivity proactively and own uptime: catch degradation before users feel it, drive incidents to resolution, run root-cause analysis, and keep mean-time-to-recover falling.
• Plan and program-manage network installs and upgrades for new-site buildouts and refreshes — scope the design, order and stage hardware, and direct the on-site Workplace Technology Leads and cabling / ISP vendors who do the physical work, holding them to Legora’s acceptance tests.
• Manage ISP, circuit, and connectivity-vendor relationships — procurement, contracts, SLAs, and escalations — and forecast network spend with Finance.
• Partner with the IT Systems and Helpdesk teams on Tier-2 / Tier-3 network escalations, and document the estate so it stays legible to the rest of the function.

Requirements

6+ years in network engineering or network-focused IT infrastructure, including owning a multi-site corporate network end to end as the final escalation point — with no senior network engineer above you to hand it to. For the Staff end of the band, ~10+ years and a track record of defining network architecture across a multi-site organization.

Skills

• Cisco Meraki experience at multi-site scale — and you understand what the Dashboard abstracts away. You can design and reason about the routing, segmentation, and RF beneath it, and keep the network running when the abstraction leaks.
• Vendor-agnostic command of network fundamentals — you design from first principles, not from templates: L2 / L3 boundaries, IP addressing and subnetting (IPAM), routing including BGP with ISPs, dual-circuit / SD-WAN failover, VLAN segmentation, DNS / DHCP, QoS, and firewall policy — and you troubleshoot at the packet level (e.g. Wireshark) when the dashboard isn’t enough.
• Able to walk us through a multi-site network you designed end to end — the trade-offs you made, a failure mode you engineered out, and a cutover or migration you ran without taking the business down.
• Automation-minded — you reach for the Meraki API, Pulumi or Terraform, and scripting to manage the network as code, rather than clicking through dashboards by hand.
• A calm operator under pressure — when a site drops, you’re methodical, communicative, and relentless about root cause, not just the quick fix.
• A program manager who delivers through others — comfortable owning timelines, vendors, and a budget, and getting work done through on-site teams you don’t directly manage.
