Our client is seeking a Senior IT Engineer to join a growing engineering team supporting a diverse client base throughout the Southeast.

  • Design and maintain secure network solutions including LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, firewalls, VPNs, switching, routing, and wireless environments

  • Partner with clients to identify optimization and improvement opportunities
  • Support Account Executives during technical discovery, solution design, and pre-sales conversations
  • Present technical recommendations to business leaders and executive stakeholders
  • Mentor junior engineers and promote engineering best practices
Required Experience
  • 5+ years of experience in IT infrastructure, systems, or networking roles
  • Strong networking experience in enterprise environments
  • Experience designing and supporting routing, switching, firewall, and wireless solutions

  • Experience with cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure and/or AWS
  • Experience supporting Windows Server, Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and virtualization platforms
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to interact professionally with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Preferred Experience
  • Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point, or Juniper networking technologies
  • MSP, consulting, VAR, or professional services experience
  • Microsoft cloud and endpoint management technologies
  • Pre-sales engineering or client consulting experience
  • Technical leadership or mentoring experience
Certifications (Preferred)
  • CCNA / CCNP
  • Network+
  • Azure Certifications
  • AWS Certifications
  • Microsoft 365 or Intune Certifications
What Makes Someone Successful

This team is looking for more than technical expertise. The ideal candidate is a strong communicator who can build trust with clients, lead technical discussions, and deliver solutions that align technology with business objectives.

You''ll thrive in this role if you enjoy:

  • Client-facing engineering work
  • Solving complex infrastructure challenges
  • Working across multiple technologies and environments
  • Leading projects from design through implementation
  • Mentoring others and sharing technical knowledge
Benefits
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Disability insurance
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Exposure to a wide variety of technologies and client environments

If you''re a senior infrastructure professional who enjoys networking, cloud technologies, security, and working directly with clients, we''d love to hear from you.
