We’re looking for a "hands-on, senior network engineer" who:

  • Has a genuine interest in networking (yes, we mean the type who tinkers with setups at home
  • Balances technical depth with strong interpersonal skills, you can explain VLANs to a hotel manager as easily as troubleshooting Meraki SD-WAN with a CTO

- Azure / hybrid cloud solutions (limited scope)
