Help run a global network where performance and resilience really matter.

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:

  • Supporting, maintaining, and troubleshooting network infrastructure across WAN, LAN, wireless, data center, cloud, and security environments
  • 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.

Benefits

  • Annual performance bonus
  • Hybrid working
  • Generous paid time off
  • Competitive 401(k) with employer match
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision cover
  • Paid parental leave and family support benefits
  • Wellbeing support and on-site perks
