The Network Services Engineer will own the day-to-day operation of network services while contributing to the administration of network tools and applications under the guidance of service leadership. This role ensures services are secure, reliable, and efficient while supporting migrations, automation, and standardization efforts that align with enterprise strategies.

You will be hands-on with configuring, maintaining, and securing network services deployed on Linux-based platforms, with a strong focus on migrating services to cloud environments, hardening platforms, and improving operational efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and operate core network services, ensuring availability, reliability, and security.
• Support and execute tasks for network tools and applications in alignment with priorities set by service leadership.
• Configure, maintain, and secure network services running on Linux-based platforms, including package management, dependencies, and service settings.
• Lead migrations and extensions of services from on-premises to cloud-native environments.
• Standardize and consolidate regional or one-off solutions into scalable, global offerings.
• Automate administration and operations, delivering efficient processes and user-facing interfaces for service access.
• Apply security best practices across services, including RBAC enforcement, patching, OS lifecycle management, and vulnerability remediation.
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues, escalating as needed, while maintaining clear documentation and transparency.

Qualifications

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field, or 5 years of equivalent experience in networking.

Required

• 3+ years of enterprise network or systems engineering experience, preferably in global environments.
• Hands-on experience configuring and maintaining network services on Linux-based platforms (e.g., jump servers, file servers, PAM, backup).
• Experience operating and enhancing enterprise services such as jump servers, file servers, PAM, or backup servers.
• Exposure to cloud networking and cloud-native service delivery (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Knowledge of network telemetry protocols (SNMP, syslog, NetFlow/IPFIX, packet analysis).
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Ansible, or low-code platforms such as Itential) for automation and integrations.
• Practical experience applying security operations (RBAC, patching, OS lifecycle, vulnerability remediation).
• Strong troubleshooting skills with ability to document and share solutions.

Preferred

• Experience migrating services or tools from on-premises to cloud platforms.
• Familiarity with lifecycle management dashboards and reporting.
• Knowledge of enterprise observability and automation integrations.
• Experience with DevOps fundamentals, infrastructure-as-code, or API integrations.
• ITIL certification or equivalent experience with Incident, Change, and Problem processes.
• Exposure to containers or microservices (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes/EKS, Argo, JFrog) for service packaging and deployment.
