We are looking for a dedicated professional to join our team and make a tangible impact on the reliability and security of the networks our partners depend on every day.
What you bring
As a Mid-Level Network Engineer working in a full-time capacity, you will be the backbone of our client infrastructure. Based in Rochester, NY, you will operate in a hybrid environment, balancing remote tasks with on-site visits.

Requirements
We are looking for a candidate who possesses 3 to 5 years of experience in network engineering, ideally within a managed services setting. You should be highly proficient in TCP/IP, VLANs, BGP, and QoS, with hands-on experience managing hardware from vendors like Cisco, Fortinet, and Meraki. A strong command of CLI administration and cloud connectivity in AWS or Azure is essential. We value excellent communication skills in English and a proactive, problem-solving mindset. While a Bachelor’s degree in a technical field is preferred, we place significant weight on industry certifications such as CCNA or CompTIA Network+. You must also hold a valid NYS driver’s license and be comfortable traveling to client sites as needed, including occasional out-of-state travel.
