Collaborate with infrastructure, security, and business partners to ensure solutions meet performance, resiliency, and security requirements.

Lead and contribute to technical discussions on routing, traffic optimization, observability, and monitoring.

Develop and maintain clear, high‑quality documentation, including standards, runbooks, diagrams, and operational procedures.

Mentor and support other engineers through knowledge sharing, reviews, and informal coaching.

Identify opportunities to automate manual processes and improve operational efficiency.

Ensure compliance with internal controls, information security standards, and regulatory expectations typical of financial services environments.

Participate in strategic initiatives and special projects as the network continues to modernize.

Support coax‑based networks and QAM systems, where applicable.

5+ years of network engineering experience in large‑scale enterprise environments (financial services experience is a plus).

Strong knowledge of network design best practices, performance engineering, and troubleshooting.

Hands‑on experience with Cisco (ISR, ASR, Catalyst) and Juniper WAN and edge platforms.

Proficiency with Cisco IOS / IOS‑XE and JunOS.

Solid understanding of TCP/IP, OSPF, BGP, and enterprise routing concepts.

Experience working with network security principles and collaborating with security teams.

Demonstrated ability to lead technical efforts, communicate clearly, and influence outcomes across teams.

Strong written and verbal communication skills.
