• Use command line and traceroute to troubleshoot and validate device access
• Apply engineered Layer 3/Layer 4 routing architecture across enterprise routing and switching environments
• Participate in maintenance windows as needed (occasional, not a regular occurrence)
• Work directly with customers and stakeholders throughout the engagement

• Experience with managed services platforms - Cisco Meraki, Fortinet
• Comfortable with the Meraki/Cisco dashboard and updating ACLs
• Self-sufficient, able to work with minimal oversight (no lead experience required)

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Salesforce and/or Jira
• ISP background
• Certifications: CCNA, CCNP, CompTIA+

Soft Skills:

• Excellent, clear communication skills - this role works directly with customers

Additional Requirements
