Senior Network Engineer

• Expert-level hands-on experience with Extreme Networks platforms including campus switching (EXOS/VOSS), wireless (ExtremeCloud IQ, AP series), and network management - required.
• Expert-level hands-on experience with Fortinet platforms including FortiGate firewalls, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiClient EMS - required.
• Strong architecture and design depth across LAN/WAN, campus networking, SD-WAN, network segmentation, VLANs, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), and next-generation firewall policy design.
• Demonstrated ability to translate business requirements into network architecture designs and produce clear, client-ready documentation including diagrams, BOMs, and design rationale.
• Experience leading network deployments as the senior technical resource - coordinating field engineers, managing vendor resources, and validating final configurations against design intent.
• Solid understanding of network security principles including zero-trust segmentation, NGFW policy, NAC, and secure SD-WAN as applied to enterprise and mid-market environments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills - able to present architecture recommendations to both technical and non-technical audiences and contribute to pre-sales proposals.
• Comfortable operating in an MSP professional services environment with concurrent client engagements, billable utilization expectations, and cross-functional coordination with PMs, architects, and account teams.

• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Network Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Equivalent experience considered.
• 7+ years of network engineering and architecture experience, with at least 3 years in a senior architecture or lead engineer role.
• Hands-on Extreme Networks experience required. ExtremeCloud IQ or EXOS/VOSS certification strongly preferred.
• Hands-on Fortinet experience required. NSE 4 minimum required, NSE 7 or higher strongly preferred. FortiGate and FortiManager expertise essential.
• Additional certifications a plus: CCNP (routing and switching or enterprise), CWNA/CWSP, SD-WAN vendor certifications.
• MSP or consulting delivery background preferred over pure enterprise IT - experience managing multiple concurrent client environments is a meaningful differentiator.

• Senior technical role within Harbor IT's Professional Services department, operating in an EOS-managed, growth-stage MSP environment with shared accountability across engineering, architecture, and project delivery functions.
• Remote-first with occasional travel to client sites for network assessments, project deployments, and architecture reviews - infrequent but expected.
• Direct client exposure across enterprise, healthcare, agribusiness, and defense-adjacent verticals with complex, multi-site network environments.

• Competitive base salary commensurate with experience
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match
