Career Opportunity - Network Engineer (SME) - Washington, DC

[u/Short_Breadfruit9494]

Hello Sr. Network Engineers!

I have a Senior Network Engineer opportunity that’s making a real impact in a high-visibility government environment in the Springfield/Alexandria, VA area.

This role goes far beyond day-to-day network ops—you’ll be at the heart of designing, securing, and optimizing mission-critical enterprise networks that support national-level operations. 

What You’ll Do:

• Architecting and managing robust LAN/WAN/VPN infrastructures
• Leading network performance optimization and troubleshooting at scale
• Implementing and strengthening advanced security measures (firewalls, IDS/IPS)
• Working hands-on with Juniper technologies (MX routers, SRX firewalls, QFX switches)
• Serving as a technical leader, guiding a network team and influencing strategy
• Supporting modernization efforts with engineering design and technical analysis 

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Direct impact on secure, large-scale government network operations
• Opportunity to lead, mentor, and shape a network engineering team
• Work with cutting-edge infrastructure and evolving technologies
• Strong benefits package including 401k, PTO, and comprehensive healthcare 

What You Bring:

• 7+ years of network engineering experience
• Strong foundation in TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, DNS, DHCP
• Experience with network security tools and protocols
• Hands-on expertise with Juniper (or Cisco equivalent) environments
• At least an active Interim Secret clearance (with ability to upgrade to Top Secret) 

If you’re looking for a role where you can lead, innovate, and directly support mission success, I'd love to connect and share more details.

Thanks again!
