Position Summary

Senior Network Operations Engineer

SENIOR NETWORK OPERATIONS ENGINEER

A Career-Building Hybrid Role in Networking and Service Monitoring

ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a rare and exciting opportunity for a curious, motivated technologist who
wants to grow quickly and build a broad foundation across enterprise networking and
IT service monitoring. Rather than specializing in a single discipline from day one,
the person in this role gains hands-on exposure across multiple infrastructure teams,
making it an ideal launch point for someone early in their career who is eager to
learn, contribute, and advance.

The position is anchored in our Operations Center, a 24×7×365 facility responsible
for monitoring a broad range of critical IT systems, providing timely notifications
and service-issue escalations and coordinating responses to major outages. What sets
this role apart is its hybrid design: approximately half of the work time is now spent
in the field alongside our Network Deployment team, with regular collaboration across
Network Engineering, Wireless, and Architecture.

Primary Responsibilities:

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

As a senior team member, mentor co-workers and help lead technical projects

within the group.

Vigilantly monitor IT services and infrastructure to ensure system availability

and performance.

Identify, analyze, and help resolve service disruptions and potential issues

before they impact operations.

Support and enhance the centralized monitoring platform, including onboarding new

systems from central IT and other university departments.

Work in the field with the Network Deployment team and collaborate with Network

Engineering, Wireless, and Architecture on network management, configuration, and
troubleshooting.

Participate in the design, implementation, and maintenance of network systems to

support institutional goals and technical standards.

Execute established incident response procedures, independently manage event

escalations, and provide clear, timely communication during outages or service
degradations.

Contribute to process documentation, performance metrics, and continual improvement efforts across both operational and networking domains.

WORK STRUCTURE

This position splits approximately half of its time between the Operations Center and
hands-on work with the Networking group, depending on coverage and project needs.

The dual placement is deliberate: it creates ongoing opportunities for collaboration,
cross-training, and deeper technical integration across infrastructure teams, and it
gives the person in this role a clear path to develop new skills and grow professionally.

WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE

This role is well suited to someone who is:

Curious and eager to learn across networking and service monitoring disciplines.
Early in their career and looking for a role with room to grow and advance.
Comfortable balancing structured monitoring work with hands-on fieldwork.
A clear communicator who stays calm and organized during high-pressure incidents.

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

This role is part of the Infrastructure and Operations division within Information
Technology Services (ITS), a group of over 300 professionals dedicated to advancing
higher education through innovative IT initiatives, reliable infrastructure, and
exceptional service delivery.

Demonstrated communication skills (verbal and written)
Demonstrated experience in the Information Technology field
Candidate must be able to accommodate flexible shifts and understand the challenges of working in a 24/7/365 environment. High interpersonal, planning, organizing, communication skills, and attention to detail.

Experience in a 24/7/365 IT operations center
Experience in Change Management procedures
Experience in Major Incident Coordination
Experience with Opsview or some other centralized monitoring platform
Experience with xMatters

Knowledge of networking fundamentals, including but not limited to: TCP/IP, STP, LACP, LLDP, MLAG, MVRP, 8021q, PoE standards
