RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce has a client that is seeking a Senior Network Engineer (Global Enterprise) in Brighton, MA (hybrid - 4 days on-site).
The Opportunity:
We are looking for a deeply technical Network Engineer to help operate and evolve a large-scale, global enterprise network. This role is built for someone who loves being hands-on - designing, building, troubleshooting, and automating real-world network infrastructure that spans offices, data centers, and cloud environments worldwide.
This is not a people-management or purely architectural role. You will act as a technical lead by example, staying close to the technology and solving complex problems alongside other experienced engineers.
What You'll Work On:
* Design, implement, and operate global network infrastructure across corporate offices, data centers, and cloud platforms
* Own routing and switching in complex environments, including BGP, OSPF, and L2/L3 networking
* Build and support Cisco-based networks, with a strong emphasis on Nexus platforms
* Engineer hybrid and cloud networking solutions, primarily in AWS (VPCs, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect), with exposure to Azure
* Drive automation and Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and related tooling
* Implement and maintain network security controls including firewalls, segmentation, VPNs, and IDS/IPS
* Partner with security teams to translate policy into secure, auditable network designs
* Monitor and optimize performance, reliability, and resiliency across regions
* Provide Tier III support and serve as an escalation point for complex network issues
* Work with global carriers and vendors to support connectivity across North America, EMEA, and APAC
* Participate in an on-call rotation supporting mission-critical infrastructure
REQUIREMENTS:
* 10+ years of experience in enterprise network engineering within global environments
* Deep hands-on expertise in routing, switching, and network troubleshooting
* Strong experience in Cisco networking, especially Nexus
* Proven experience designing and operating large-scale networks across multiple regions
* Solid understanding of cloud networking concepts, particularly AWS
* Hands-on experience with Terraform or similar automation/IaC tools
* Strong background in network security fundamentals
* Comfortable operating -in the weeds- while acting as a technical leader
* Clear communicator who collaborates well across infrastructure and security teams
What Success Looks Like:
* Highly reliable, secure global connectivity with minimal downtime
* Cloud and on-prem networks that are automated, scalable, and well-documented
* Faster provisioning and fewer manual changes through IaC and automation
* Strong security posture embedded directly into network design
* Clear ownership and accountability for complex network challenges
Nice to Have:
* Industry certifications such as CCNP or cloud certifications
* Experience in highly regulated or financial services environments
* Exposure to global networking across EMEA and APAC
Why Join:
You will work on a truly global network with real complexity and scale - not a greenfield lab or a purely strategic role. This is an opportunity to stay technical, influence how modern enterprise networks are built and secured, and work alongside engineers who value deep expertise, ownership, and automation.
