Associate Network Engineer Jobs in Quincy, MA (NOW HIRING)

About the Role 

We are looking for an experienced and versatile Infrastructure Engineer to join our team. This is a broad, hands-on role for someone who is comfortable operating across the modern infrastructure stack - spanning cloud platforms, virtualization, systems administration, automation, and network engineering. 

This role replaces a traditional network-only function and reflects how we think about infrastructure today: as an interconnected discipline where networking, computing, security, and automation are inseparable. You will be a key contributor to the reliability, scalability, and security of our platforms, and a go-to escalation point for complex infrastructure challenges. 

What You'll Do 

Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure 

• Support the maintenance of both on prem and cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, or GCP including compute, storage, networking, and identity services 

• Manage and optimize hybrid connectivity between on-premises environments and cloud platforms (VPN, ExpressRoute/Direct Connect, Transit Gateway) 

• Govern infrastructure as code (IaC) using tools such as Terraform or Pulumi, ensuring environments are reproducible and version-controlled 

Networking 

• Participate in ongoing management of network infrastructure including routers, switches, firewalls, and load balancers 

• Manage and troubleshoot LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, VPN, BGP/OSPF, and VLAN environments 

• Administer DNS, DHCP, and IP address management (IPAM) across hybrid environments 

• Review and enforce network security policies, firewall rules, and segmentation strategies in collaboration with the security team 

 Systems & Virtualization 

• Administer virtualized environments (VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, or equivalent) and container platforms (Kubernetes, Docker) 

• Manage server operating systems at scale across Linux (RHEL/Ubuntu) and Windows Server 

Monitoring, Reliability & Security 

• Maintain observability tooling including infrastructure monitoring, alerting, and log aggregation (e.g. Datadog, Prometheus/Grafana, Splunk, or similar) 

• Participate in an on-call rotation for infrastructure-level incidents, driving timely resolution and thorough post-incident reviews 

• Contribute to backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning and testing 

• Partner with the security team on vulnerability management, patching cadences, and hardening standards 

Automation & Continuous Improvement 

• Identify and drive automation opportunities to reduce toil and improve consistency across the infrastructure estate 

• Contribute to capacity planning and infrastructure roadmap discussions 

• Mentor P1/P2 engineers and share knowledge through internal documentation and team sessions 

What You'll Bring

Experience & Skills 

• 4-7 years of experience in infrastructure, network engineering, or a related discipline 

• Strong networking fundamentals and hands-on experience with enterprise network platforms (Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, Fortinet, or similar) 

• Proven experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP) - ideally with a cloud associate-level certification or equivalent practical experience 

• Experience managing Linux and Windows Server environments in production 

• Familiarity with containerization concepts and platforms (Docker, Kubernetes) 

• Experience with monitoring and observability tooling in a production environment 

• Strong troubleshooting skills across network, compute, and storage layers 

• Comfortable working in an on-call capacity for infrastructure incidents 

Nice to Have 

• Working knowledge of infrastructure as code and configuration management tools (Terraform, Ansible, or similar) 

• Experience with SD-WAN platforms (e.g. Meraki, Viptela/Cisco SDWAN, VMware VeloCloud) 

• Scripting proficiency in Python, Bash, or PowerShell for automation 

• Exposure to DevOps practices and CI/CD pipelines 

• Experience in a zero-trust network architecture project 

• Relevant certifications: CCNA/CCNP, AWS Solutions Architect, Azure Administrator (AZ-104), CKA, or equivalent
