Palo Alto Engineer, Senior

The Challenge:

A well-designed network is critical to move data and enable the US government to achieve their mission, but how can an organization make sure their network will fit their current and evolving needs? Crafting the right network, with the right equipment and software, requires a combination of technical skill and careful planning. That’s why we need you, a network engineer who knows how to craft the exact network DoD needs.

As a network engineer on our team, you’ll consult for the DoD as they work on a reliable network to support DoD critical missions. You’ll lead a team assisting clients with learning the strategic goals and operational needs that shape the network requirements. You’ll then lead the planning of acquisition, installation, configuration, and maintenance of the network and security components. From resolving interoperability issues across platforms, to supporting the acquisition of hardware, you’ll put your hardware and software talents to good use. This is your chance to support your team with growing their knowledge base with in depth network security expertise while broadening the scope of your network engineering work. Join us as we help protect DoD critical missions.
