Network Engineer

Careerscape is recruiting on behalf of our client, a growing professional services firm in New York, NY, for an experienced Network Engineer to join their IT infrastructure team.

This role suits someone who is equally comfortable troubleshooting a live outage and planning a longer-term network redesign, enjoys documenting their work clearly, and is energized by supporting a professional environment where uptime and client-facing reliability matter.
