This is a chance to join a global, technology-led organization whose operations run on a data-intensive network spanning multiple regions. Speed, security, and resilience are non-negotiable here, and the Network Operations team in Houston plays a central part in keeping it that way.
As a Network Engineer, you’ll cover enterprise, data center, cloud-connected, security, and SD-WAN environments. The role balances day-to-day operations with infrastructure projects that move the platform forward. You’ll work alongside experienced senior engineers in a collaborative, practical team, own your outcomes, and grow your skills across a broad, modern technology stack.
What you’ll own:

- Monitoring daily data center operations, plus network availability, performance, health, and capacity across critical services
- Deploying, configuring, and monitoring routing, switching, firewall, and network security platforms
- Investigating incidents, contributing to root cause analysis, and driving the fixes that stop them happening again
- Contributing to hardware refreshes, migrations, and service improvement projects, and helping senior engineers introduce new technologies
- Keeping documentation, diagrams, standards, and procedures accurate and current
- Supporting security, resilience, compliance, and lifecycle management
- Partnering with vendors, service providers, and stakeholders across the business
- Taking part in an on-call rotation and occasional out-of-hours maintenance
Requirements
- 3 to 5 years in enterprise, data center, or service provider networking, with hands-on ownership of production infrastructure
- Strong routing and switching knowledge, including BGP, OSPF, VLANs, QoS, VPNs, and TCP/IP, plus solid firewall and security fundamentals
- Multi-vendor experience, ideally across platforms such as Cisco, Arista, Juniper, and Palo Alto
- Exposure to data center fabrics (VXLAN, EVPN, MLAG), SD-WAN, and Azure or other cloud connectivity
- Confidence with monitoring and observability tooling, and some scripting or automation to cut manual effort
- CCNA, CCNP, or equivalent vendor certifications, and a technical degree or equivalent practical experience
- Clear communication and the confidence to work in a global, multicultural team
- Ownership and reliability. When you pick something up, you see it through.
