As a well-rounded Sr. Network Engineer, you should be the type that appreciates diversity in your day, and relishes challenges outside of your comfort level! You will be touching some of the most cutting-edge network and optical equipment on the market, so you must come armed with well developed problem solving skills.

- potentially impacting network changes
- Upgrade / replace hardware across the network, working directly with the network architects
- Respond to and work to resolve customer issues via phone, chat, or support tickets, during work hours or during rotating on-call schedule
- Provide feedback on improving automated system tools that support the network
- And of course, since this is a startup, we aren’t just asking you to wear one hat. When you get a break, you can assist any of our other teams!
WHAT YOU BRING:
The right candidates will most likely have a CS degree and have a strong background working in large scale telecommunication environments, with a proven track record of completing projects on time in spite of obstacles.

- Intermediate-plus understanding of current ‘off box’ provisioning and operational tooling
- Experience with Python, shell scripting, and netconf
- Experience with managing your own tasks and projects, and a highly organized mindset
