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)

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.
