Junior Network Administrator/Engineer

We are seeking a Junior Network Engineer to join our growing network support team. This role focuses on production support, not architecture or major changes. You will be assisting with daily operational tasks, learning the ropes of enterprise networking, and supporting the stability and security of core network infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide production support by troubleshooting and resolving day-to-day network issues
• Monitor and triage tickets using ServiceNow; assist in managing and delegating the support queue
• Basic configuration, patching, and support of network devices under guidance
• Assist in managing and updating Palo Alto firewall rules, DNS entries, and basic switching tasks
• Document network changes, procedures, and support activities
• Follow change control processes and adhere to client network and security standards
• Collaborate with senior engineers and gain exposure to enterprise tools and operations

• Technical Environment (You'll Gain Exposure To):
  
  

  You don't need deep experience in all of these, but familiarity or academic exposure is a plus. We're looking for someone who's eager to learn and comfortable working under the guidance of a senior engineer.

  
  
  
  
  • Cisco & Arista switching - basic VLANs, port configs, interface monitoring

• Some experience with ServiceNow or similar ITSM tools
• Eagerness to learn and take feedback; interest in building a long-term network engineering career
• Clear communication skills and ability to follow documented processes
