Cart.com is looking for an energetic, experienced Network Engineer to design, implement, and support all aspects of our corporate network infrastructure for a rapidly expanding Cart.com geographic footprint. This person will be well-versed in multiple firewall, LAN/WAN, wireless, and core infrastructure technologies and will be able to understand growing business demands and provide the right technology solutions to solve immediate problems while future-proofing for resiliency and scale. A successful candidate will not be married to specific network platforms and will be able to apply network engineering thought leadership across multiple domains in partnership with a diverse set of vendors to meet business demand. This person will report immediately to the VP of IT and will actively participate in the design and build-out of the IT Infrastructure team.

Responsibilities:

• Evaluate existing network topology and identify opportunities for optimization and enhancement
• Design and implement best-in-class network solutions for site expansion and core network operations
• Own circuit procurement and delivery
• Actively participate in new site network configuration
• Provide Level 3 support for new and existing network infrastructure
• Evaluate and implement network monitoring and alerting solutions to create a high availability network service
• Collaborate across all facets of IT including cybersecurity, end user support, and senior leadership on overall systems design and implementation for solutions that scale
• Actively manage vendors and partners required in the delivery and ongoing operations of our network infrastructure
• Some travel for the purposes of physical network installation and configuration is possible

Experience:

• 8+ years designing and implementing network solutions in structurally complex organizations
• 5+ years performing vendor management and network solution evaluation across multiple network platforms – Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco, Meraki, Ubiquiti, Aruba, Ruckus, etc.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience (Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical field)
• Proven ability to negotiate with and manage third party suppliers and vendors
• Demonstrated ability to plan and execute complex projects to meet time, quality and budget requirements

Bonus Points:

• CCIE for the purposes of expert network concepts and a commitment to learning – let’s be honest, we’re not a Cisco shop
• Experience working in fast paced, startup or startup like environment
• Direct experience designing networks for expansive buildings (think warehouses!)
• Familiar with Software Defined Networking (SDN) and modern voice and data network architectures
• Experience working with international teams and in international markets
