DescriptionSwitchboard is seeking a Senior Network Engineer on behalf of our client, Open Technology Solutions (OTS). We're looking for an experienced network engineer who wants to own a platform, not just work tickets on it. You'll be the primary owner of OTS's Cisco switching and wireless environment, from new office builds and day-to-day support to the long-term roadmap. If you think in terms of business outcomes and can explain your work to leadership as clearly as you can configure a switch, we want to hear from you.
About Open Technology SolutionsOpen Technology Solutions (OTS) is a CUSO (Credit Union Service Organization) providing shared technology services to credit union partners. Built on a cooperative model, OTS delivers enterprise-grade IT infrastructure, support, and innovation to its partner organizations, allowing them to compete at a higher level while keeping costs in check. OTS operates with the values of a credit union at its core: member-focused, collaborative, and committed to long-term relationships over short-term wins.
ResponsibilitiesOwn the Cisco switching and wireless platform end to end, including lifecycle, roadmap recommendations, compliance, and keeping it current and well maintained.
Lead and execute new branch builds and related network projects.
Support day-to-day switching and wireless operations and troubleshoot complex issues across the network.
Resolve escalated tickets that our managed services provider can't, and help hold the MSP accountable for the work they own.
Build and maintain runbooks and documentation the rest of the team can follow.
Participate in project calls with internal leaders and partner organizations, translating technical work into business outcomes.
Share knowledge with the team, including presenting on your areas of expertise in staff meetings.
Partner with cross-functional teams to get things done when the fix lives outside your lane, rather than stopping at the edge of your area.
Qualifications5+ years of network engineering experience
Deep, hands-on expertise with Cisco switching and wireless
Palo Alto firewall experience
Strong troubleshooting skills at a senior level
Nice to have: HPE SD-WAN, network automation, or cloud networking experience
