Network Engineer (Network Monitoring experience)

Job Description

This role is for an Engineer I with a strong Linux background, deep experience in network monitoring platforms, and the coding skills to automate and extend what those platforms can do. You have around 8 years in the field and you’re comfortable operating independently from day one — no ramp-up hand-holding required. You’ll work on a complex, large-scale enterprise environment where your ability to keep critical monitoring infrastructure running, scripted, and optimized directly impacts network operations.

Responsibilities

• Deliver technical work as a mid-to-senior team member, taking ownership of your area within larger projects while operating within BlueAlly’s quality standards
• Administer, maintain, and extend network monitoring platforms in a large enterprise environment, including updates, patches, and configuration
• Develop and maintain scripts in Perl, Python, and shell to automate monitoring tasks, integrate systems, and support reporting functions
• Produce clear, accurate technical documentation and present findings or recommendations to client stakeholders
• Recognize when project-impacting issues need to go up the chain and act on it.

Qualifications

• Around 8 years of hands-on experience in enterprise networking or systems engineering, with meaningful depth in network monitoring and management platforms
• Strong Linux platform experience — you’re comfortable with system administration, package management, scripting environments, and troubleshooting at the OS level
• Solid working knowledge of network management and monitoring products; experience with SNMP-based monitoring tools in environments of 1,000 or more network devices
• Proficiency in Perl, Python, and shell scripting — you write real automation, not just quick fixes
• Working knowledge of SNMP MIB analysis, trap parsing, and SNMP table polling; experience configuring monitoring systems to manage Cisco and multi-vendor environments
• Able to operate independently from day one — you come in, assess the environment, and get to work without needing someone to walk you through it
• Able to produce polished technical documents independently and to a professional standard
• Understands how project financials and forecasting work; independently manages your own forecast
