Job description

?? Senior Network Infrastructure Projects Engineer

Life Sciences & Financial Services Clients
Boston, MA | New York, NY | San Francisco Bay Area
Hybrid | Direct Hire

?? The Opportunity

We are partnering with a fast-growing, high-touch IT consulting firm that supports some of the most innovative life sciences organizations, capital management firms, and emerging growth companies in the U.S.

They are hiring a Senior Network Infrastructure Projects Engineer to lead complex, multi-site infrastructure initiatives — including full office buildouts, relocations, modernization efforts, and advanced network deployments.

This is not a support-heavy role.
This is a design + ownership + execution position for an engineer who thrives in both construction environments and executive conversations.

?? What You’ll Own

As a senior technical lead, you will:

  • Lead full lifecycle infrastructure projects from design through go-live
  • Architect and deploy complete network stacks (switching, firewalls, wireless)
  • Oversee MDF/IDF closet design including rack elevations, cooling, and power planning
  • Coordinate low-voltage and AV implementation with architects and contractors
  • Manage ISP engagements from site survey through circuit activation
  • Deploy collaboration technologies (Zoom Rooms, Microsoft Teams Rooms)
  • Serve as final escalation point for complex network and AV challenges
  • Develop post-install documentation and improve internal infrastructure standards

You’ll regularly interface with C-suite stakeholders while remaining hands-on in the rack room.

?? Technical Scope

Network Engineering

  • Deep Layer 2/3 expertise (VLANs, STP, OSPF, BGP)
  • Firewall architecture & configuration (Meraki, FortiGate, SonicWall, Ubiquiti)
  • Site-to-site and client VPN design
  • Wireless predictive modeling and validation (Ekahau or similar)

Construction & Site Management

  • Experience collaborating with architects, general contractors, and subcontractors
  • Low-voltage coordination and structured cabling oversight
  • Office construction or relocation experience required

AV & Collaboration

  • Zoom Rooms deployment
  • Microsoft Teams Rooms configuration
  • Conference room AV integration

Systems & Cloud Exposure

  • Windows Server environments
  • Microsoft 365 / Entra ID
  • Google Workspace
  • Cloud file platforms (Egnyte, Box, Dropbox)

?? What Makes You a Fit

  • 7+ years of progressive network/infrastructure experience
  • Proven experience leading full-stack office buildouts
  • Strong documentation discipline and project management habits
  • Comfortable presenting technical roadmaps to executive stakeholders
  • Ability to mentor junior engineers
  • Willingness to travel locally within metro region
Bonus:
  • IAM fundamentals (SSO, SAML, OAuth)
  • Automation or API integration experience

?? Why This Role Stands Out

  • High ownership — you’re not following playbooks, you’re helping create them
  • Direct executive exposure
  • High-growth client environments (biotech, investment firms, scaling startups)
  • Hybrid flexibility with meaningful on-site project work
  • Strong emphasis on clean documentation and elegant infrastructure design

If you’re a senior engineer who enjoys designing resilient network environments and collaborating across technical and executive teams, this is an opportunity to build infrastructure that scales with some of the fastest-growing companies in the country.
