Senior Network Engineer (Plano)
Insight Global, Plano, TX, United States
Position: Senior Network Engineer
Location: Plano, TX
Duration: Long-term contract
Must Haves
7+ years of senior‑level network engineering experience, primarily project-focused (not day‑to‑day operations)
Strong, hands-on experience with Infoblox (DNS, DHCP, IPAM)
Palo Alto firewall implementation and support experience
Experience supporting Zscaler in an enterprise environment
Strong technical communication skills for working with architects and senior engineers (this role has limited exposure to business users and leadership)
Plusses
Experience supporting large-scale or global enterprise networks
Prior work partnering closely with network architects or infrastructure leadership
Exposure to network security design, including zero-trust concepts
Experience contributing to project planning, technical evaluations, or budget-aware discussions
Prior consulting or customer-facing engineering experience
Day-to-Day
In this role, the Senior Network Engineer supports enterprise network project work, partnering closely with network architects, senior engineers, and stakeholder teams. The engineer provides deep technical input into network designs, validates proposed architectures, and helps guide tooling and platform decisions across the environment. Day-to-day responsibilities include troubleshooting and resolving complex technical challenges related to Infoblox, Palo Alto, and Zscaler, ensuring solutions align with approved designs and project goals.
This position is not an operations role. While the engineer may occasionally assist with operational issues, this represents less than 5% of the work. The engineer participates in technical discussions related to project timelines and implementation considerations and may periodically join customer-facing meetings or reviews to represent the network engineering team. When sustained operational support is required, the engineer coordinates handoff to operations while remaining engaged as a technical advisor.
** Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education.
** Benefit packages for this role will start on the 31st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
