Network Engineer (Hybrid NYC)

Network Engineer (Hybrid NYC)

Our client, a premier managed technology services firm based in New York, is looking for a full-time Network Engineer to spearhead their enterprise infrastructure initiatives. This is a high-impact role centered on designing and securing multi-site environments using a sophisticated tech stack that includes Cisco Meraki, Ubiquiti, Palo Alto firewalls, and Tailscale. If you are looking for a stable, permanent position where you can own the architecture of diverse client networks while working in a flexible, hybrid capacity, this is the opportunity for you.

There is a variety of environments you'll work on. You aren't just maintaining one network; you are the architect for a diverse portfolio of growing businesses. Our client fosters an "ego-less" engineering culture where your voice actually matters in shaping standards and selecting new tools. This isn't a "cog-in-the-machine" role; it's a career-defining position where you'll be mentored by a Senior Network Engineer and, in turn, mentor junior talent. If you love solving complex "impossible" network puzzles and want a role that rewards proactive ownership with genuine work-life balance and a clear path toward architecture leadership, you'll thrive here.

• 5+ years of core network administration experience (LAN/WAN, VPN, Firewalls).
• 3+ years of hands-on network design and deployment in multi-site or enterprise environments.
