Job description

We are seeking an experienced Cisco Networking Engineer to join our engineering team. This is a customer-facing role with responsibilities across both pre-sales (design, scoping, solution validation) and post-sales (implementation, cutover, and escalation support).

The ideal candidate has strong hands-on experience with Cisco networking and Meraki solutions, is comfortable discussing designs and solutions with customers, and can then turn those designs into stable, well-documented production environments. You should also bring working familiarity with server OS, virtualization, storage, and cloud networking.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Work with account teams and solution architects to gather requirements, validate designs, and contribute to bills of materials and SOWs for Cisco/Meraki-based solutions.
  • Participate in customer meetings, demos, and technical discussions to explain design choices and answer technical questions.
  • Deploy, configure, and support Cisco and Meraki network infrastructure (routing, switching, wireless, security, SD-WAN).
  • Perform implementations, migrations, and cutovers, including testing, troubleshooting, and stabilization support.
  • Serve as an escalation point for complex LAN/WAN/WLAN, firewall, and VPN issues.
  • Create and maintain as-built documentation, network diagrams, IP addressing schemes, and configuration records.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to ensure smooth handoff between design, deployment, and ongoing support.
  • Assist with adjacent infrastructure as needed: Windows/Linux servers, VMware/Hyper-V, basic storage, and Azure/AWS networking/connectivity.
  • Provide knowledge transfer to customers and internal staff on implemented solutions and best practices.

Qualifications:

4–8+ years in a network engineering or similar role, with customer-facing experience.

Practical experience with Meraki (MX, MS, MR; Systems Manager a plus).

Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including:

  • TCP/IP, VLANs, STP, EtherChannel/LACP
  • Routing: OSPF, BGP, static routes
  • Security: ACLs, NAT, site-to-site and remote-access VPNs
  • Wireless: SSID design, security, RF basics

Familiarity with:

  • Virtualization: VMware vSphere and/or Hyper-V
  • Server OS: Windows Server; basic Linux skills
  • Storage concepts: SAN/NAS fundamentals
  • Cloud networking: Azure/AWS VNET/VPC basics, VPN/ExpressRoute/Direct Connect-style connectivity
  • Strong troubleshooting and analytical skills with the ability to work independently in customer environments.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Ability and willingness to travel to customer sites as required.

Required / Preferred Certifications:

Required / Strongly Preferred:

  • Cisco CCNP Enterprise (or equivalent mid-level Cisco certification).
  • One or more recognized networking certifications (e.g., CompTIA Network+, Security+).

Preferred / Nice to Have:
