Senior Network Infrastructure Projects Engineer (Boston/NY/SF)

About the role We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Projects Engineer to join our dynamic Infrastructure Projects team. This team is dedicated to managing a range of initiatives, from large-scale build-outs and relocation projects to targeted infrastructure service improvements. As a client-facing engineer, you will regularly interact with C‑suite stakeholders, translating complex technical concepts into clear, actionable communication, and expectation setting is imperative. The location options for this role are Boston, CA Bay Area, or New York, with frequent local travel required within the greater region surrounding those areas. Occasional travel to other Pliancy hubs may be necessary. What is the work like? Many of our clients are showing consistent growth. This manifests as a lot of movement into and out of office spaces. In both of our client verticals, we find ourselves: Joining owner, architect, and contractor calls to work closely with construction teams and their subcontractors for pieces that impact low‑voltage and audiovisual installations. Designing, ordering, and implementing a full network stack (switching, firewalls, and wireless). Partnering with internet service providers and working with them from site surveys to circuit activation.

Who are we looking for? Our ideal candidate has a strong technical background with a project manager’s mindset. You are someone who finds as much satisfaction in an organized server rack and a flawlessly executed office move as you do in troubleshooting a complex routing issue.
