About the Role
Are you a versatile engineer who enjoys the variety of client-facing work but wants the stability and ownership of a focused technology team?
We are a boutique technology services company supporting a diverse range of clients. We operate with the agility of an MSP but provide the deep-dive expertise and long-term partnership of an internal IT department. We are looking for a Network & Security Engineer to take the lead on planning, deploying, and managing robust network infrastructures.
From architecting Fortinet-driven SD-WAN solutions to managing VMware clusters, you will be the technical cornerstone of our infrastructure services.
Key Responsibilities

- Security & Perimeter: Design and implement Fortinet firewalls (primary focus), ensuring secure VPN connectivity and threat mitigation.
- Hardware Deployment: Hands-on configuration and installation of switches and Wireless Access Points (APs).
- Systems & Virtualization: Manage and optimize VMware vSphere/ESXi environments and Windows Server infrastructure.

- Local Travel: Must be based in or near Eastern Pennsylvania. Requires the ability to travel 4–8 days per month (locally) to client sites for physical deployments and high-level consulting.
Why Join Us?
- High Autonomy: Lead your own projects without the red tape of a massive corporation.
- Diverse Tech Stack: Work across various environments—no two days are the same.
- Work-Life Balance: Enjoy the benefits of remote work with a team that values results over "desk time."
