Description
Build, Secure, and Scale the Future of AVAYA Infrastructure
Are you a Network Engineer who thrives on the elegant complexity of a well-tuned architecture? We are looking for a mid-to-senior level expert to join our Infrastructure team as a primary architect of our corporate connectivity. This isn't just a maintenance role—you’ll be the hands-on lead for securing our perimeter, optimizing our routing, and ensuring our core infrastructure scales alongside our growth.
The Role at a Glance
In this role, you will own the lifecycle of our network—from initial design and high-level architecture to granular troubleshooting. You’ll spend your days working within a high-performance environment powered by Palo Alto, Juniper, and Dell, ensuring that our remote-first workforce stays connected and secure.
Your Core Mission
Next-Gen Security: Design and manage our Palo Alto (NGFW) environment. You’ll be the gatekeeper, managing Panorama, Threat Prevention profiles, and complex VPN tunnels.
High-Velocity Routing: Take the wheel of our Juniper ecosystem. You’ll use Junos OS to master BGP, dynamic routing, and traffic optimization.
Core Connectivity: Administer our Dell switching fabric, ensuring rock-solid VLAN management, LACP, and STP across the core and access layers.
Architectural Evolution: Don’t just fix things—make them better. You’ll lead hardware migrations, capacity planning, and firmware lifecycle management.
Observability: Utilize enterprise-grade monitoring tools to stay ahead of the curve, acting as the final escalation point for the most challenging network puzzles.
What You Bring to the Table
The Experience: 3–5+ years of "in the trenches" experience in medium-to-large enterprise or cloud environments.
The Toolset: * Palo Alto: Deep familiarity with Panorama and security policy orchestration.
Juniper: High proficiency in Junos OS CLI and routing protocol troubleshooting.
Dell: Proven track record managing enterprise-grade Dell switches.
The Fundamentals: A "source code" level understanding of the OSI/TCP-IP models, IPv4/IPv6, DNS, and DHCP.
The Mindset: You document your work meticulously (diagrams are your love language) and enjoy the collaborative challenge of a high-stakes infrastructure team.
The Requirement: U.S. Citizenship is required for this role. No sponsorship now or in the future is available for this position.
Bonus Points For...
Certifications: PCNSE, JNCIS-ENT, or CCNP.
Automation: If you’ve used Python, Ansible, or Terraform to make manual tasks disappear, we want to hear about it.
Education: A degree in CS or IT is great, but we value proven, real-world expertise above all.

Summer Internship - Network Development
AledadeAledade, a public benefit corporation, exists to empower the most transformational part of our health care landscape - independent primary care. We were founded in 2014, and since then, we've become the largest network of independent primary care in the country - helping practices, health centers and clinics deliver better care to their patients and thrive in value-based care. Additionally, by creating value-based contracts across a wide variety of health plans, we aim to flip the script on the traditional fee-for-service model. Our work strengthens continuity of care, aligns incentives and ensures primary care physicians are paid for what they do best - keeping patients healthy. If you want to help create a health care system that is good for patients, good for practices and good for society - and if you're eager to join a collaborative, inclusive and remote-first culture - you've come to the right place.
Primary duties involve creating detailed tracking of deal closures, ensuring paperwork is finalized with Network Development Leads (NDLs), and attending meetings led by experienced NDLs. Interns will also learn to cover for NDLs on leave and provide support for the Florida and Georgia markets.
