Role OverviewThe Network Engineer will support a client's transition from a legacy Public Safety, MPLS-based Juniper network infrastructure to a modern, zero trust cloud-based network architecture. This individual will operate across both environments during the transition period — maintaining and troubleshooting the existing Juniper MPLS backbone while actively supporting the design, planning, and phased cutover to a cloud-delivered zero trust solution such as Zscaler.
What You Will Do
The engineer will operate, maintain, and troubleshoot the existing Juniper MPLS network, including routing, switching, and WAN connectivity across distributed sites. They will also support planning and execution of the migration from MPLS/legacy WAN architecture to a zero-trust cloud-based network solution.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate will have strong verbal and written communication skills, experience participating in or leading a migration from a legacy WAN/MPLS architecture to a zero-trust cloud-based network solution, and a solid understanding of routing and WAN protocols.
Requirements
- A minimum of 5+ years of experience in network engineering, with hands-on experience supporting Juniper-based MPLS network environments
- Direct experience participating in or leading a migration from a legacy WAN/MPLS architecture to a zero-trust cloud-based network solution (Zscaler, Netskope, Cloudflare, or similar)
- Solid understanding of routing and WAN protocols (BGP, OSPF, MPLS/L3VPN)
- Familiarity with zero trust network access (ZTNA) concepts, SASE architecture, and cloud security gateway solutions
- Strong communication skills, with demonstrated ability to coordinate technical migration activities across cross-functional teams and communicate clearly with both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
- Ability to produce clear technical documentation, cutover plans, and status updates/reports
- Must be able to pass a background investigation
- Must have U.S. Citizenship
- Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent relevant experience, required
Benefits
- Primarily remote work
- Minimal travel may be required (up to 5%)
