Description
This is a developing technical contributor role for an engineer with solid Juniper routing and switching experience who is ready to build their career in a technically rigorous environment. You have around 4 years of relevant experience, a CCNP-level foundation, and real hands-on time with Juniper platforms. You’ll work alongside experienced engineers on complex enterprise infrastructure, sharpen your skills on live engagements, and grow in an environment that takes quality seriously.
Work Location
This position supports a program based in the Woodlawn, MD area. Candidates located outside a 50-mile radius of that area are welcome to apply. For those candidates, regular onsite presence will generally not be required; however, we do ask that new hires plan to spend approximately one week onsite following the completion of system access and credentialing to meet the team and become familiar with the environment. Ongoing, we’d ask for at least one day onsite per quarter — or a combined multi-day visit that covers multiple quarters — where feasible.
Please note that this is a full-time, direct-hire role. Due to segments of our customer base, we cannot sponsor employment visas. It is required that you have the ability to obtain and maintain a public trust.
