• Oversee day-to-day network operations across 700+ devices: switches, routers, load balancers, and related infrastructure at our Home Office, South side campus, and remote sites.
• Partner with the existing senior team member to co-own strategic direction, tackle major architecture decisions, and ensure the environment evolves with industry best practices.
• Lead and mentor less senior technicians and help elevate the team's approach from "hands-on execution" to "engineering thinking": structured problem-solving, proactive planning, and documentation.
• Contribute to major upcoming projects, including data center hardware refresh (end-of-life within ~18 months) and the new building network build out using HPE Aruba.
• Plan, design, and maintain highly complex network topologies including LAN/WAN, and wireless, infrastructure to meet evolving business objectives.
• Manage relationships with telecommunications vendors and help drive resolution of complex network issues and service disruptions.

• Deep, hands-on experience in enterprise network engineering including routing, switching, load balancing, and network architecture at scale.
• A strong engineering mindset.
• Experience with or exposure to network automation like scripting, orchestration, or tooling that reduces manual configuration and improves operational efficiency.
• Familiarity with major enterprise networking vendors: Cisco and/or HPE Aruba experience is strongly preferred; F5 and Infoblox familiarity is a plus.
• Proven ability to set strategic and technical direction in a complex enterprise environment.
• Excellent communication skills.
• A collaborative, initiative driven work style.
• Ability to work on-site in Omaha, NE.

• Experience developing or leading network automation initiatives (Python, Ansible, REST APIs, or vendor-native automation tools).

• Familiarity with Network Performance Monitoring (NPM tools) including Solarwinds, Gigamon and Allegro.
• Experience managing network infrastructure in a large, distributed campus environment (1,000+ users, multiple buildings/sites).
