Senior Network Engineer

We're hiring a hands-on technical lead to own network operations and architecture across Biamp's enterprise infrastructure. This role carries real technical authority over network decisions, drives modernization initiatives, and mentors a network engineer while ensuring reliable production and corporate networks across multiple sites.

About the role

You'll work within our Infrastructure & Operations team alongside systems, platform, and service engineers, reporting to the IOPS Manager and partnering closely with our IT Architect on architectural direction. This is a leadership position where you'll bring strong opinions informed by experience, lead planning and implementation for network projects, and represent the network domain in cross-functional infrastructure discussions.

Responsibilities

• Lead network architecture and design decisions for firewalls, switching, routing, segmentation, and WAN connectivity across a multi-site enterprise environment
• Drive network infrastructure modernization projects, including core switching upgrades and firewall deployments
• Own network operations: troubleshooting, capacity planning, change management, and incident response
• Manage and maintain FortiGate firewall platforms (including 2601F series): policy management, VPN, SD-WAN, and security posture
• Maintain and evolve enterprise switching infrastructure supporting 10G/25G connectivity
• Define and track network performance metrics; propose and implement changes that improve reliability, reduce cost, and strengthen security
• Operate and improve network monitoring and alerting using tools like Zabbix and Prometheus/Grafana
• Maintain accurate, up-to-date network documentation and IP address management in NetBox
• Mentor a network engineer, helping them grow technically while distributing work sustainably across the function
• Collaborate cross-functionally with systems, platform, and software operations teams on shared infrastructure initiatives
• Support manufacturing and corporate network environments with appropriate segmentation and reliability standards
• Participate in incident response, postmortem documentation, and change management processes

Requirements

• 7+ years of hands-on enterprise network engineering experience
• Strong experience with FortiGate/FortiOS firewall platforms (or equivalent next-gen firewall experience with Palo Alto, Cisco Firepower, etc.)
• Deep understanding of L2/L3 networking: routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS), switching (VLANs, spanning tree, LACP), and network segmentation
• Experience designing and operating multi-site WAN and LAN environments
• Proficiency with network monitoring and observability tooling
• Strong documentation habits
• Comfort operating as the senior technical voice on network topics, including during incidents
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and develop less experienced engineers
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or related field (equivalent experience will be considered)

Nice-to-haves

• Experience with NetBox or similar IPAM/network source-of-truth platforms
• Familiarity with Microsoft Azure networking (VNets, NSGs, ExpressRoute/VPN Gateway)
• Familiarity with zero-trust networking concepts or overlay networks (e.g., Tailscale, WireGuard)
• Exposure to network automation or infrastructure-as-code (Ansible, Terraform, Python scripting)
• Experience supporting manufacturing or industrial environments (OT/IT network considerations)
• Familiarity with Linux-based infrastructure and services
• Exposure to AV-over-IP or networked audio/video protocols (Dante, AES67)
• Experience with Extreme Networks Fabric Engine (VOSS)
• Relevant certifications (Fortinet NSE, CCNP, JNCIP, etc.)

Your First 90 Days

We're in the middle of an active infrastructure modernization effort with new firewalls deployed, core switching upgrades in progress, and architectural decisions being made now.

• First 30 days: Get up to speed on the network topology, current project state, and what's already in motion. Build relationships with the infrastructure team and pair with the existing network engineer to understand priorities, pain points, and where your expertise is needed most.
• First 60 days: Start taking ownership of network operations and contributing to active modernization work. You'll have real input into architectural decisions.
• First 90 days: Own the network function. Lead planning and implementation alongside our IT Architect, mentor the network engineer, and drive the work forward.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
• 3 weeks annual PTO and 9 paid holidays
• 401(k) with company matching
• Employer-paid base life insurance, short-term, and long-term disability
