Staff Network Operations Engineer

Role Overview

• Drive the evolution of the existing global networking environment to maintain secure, scalable network infrastructure across offices, labs, partners, data centers, customer development, and cloud environments.
• Enhance network security through efforts including, but not limited to, segmentation, firewall policy improvements, identity-driven access controls, and Zero Trust principles.
• Automate network configuration, monitoring, compliance checks, and change management using modern automation tools (e.g., Ansible, Python, etc.).
• Maintain and optimize switches, routers, firewalls, VPNs, wireless networks, and WAN connectivity.
• Implement best-in-class monitoring, logging, and alerting to proactively detect security and operational issues such as intrusions, break-ins/compromised entryways, data issues, and connectivity bottlenecks.
• Partner with IT and DevOps and Security to build a unified, automated infrastructure foundation with consistent best practices, security, and policy enforcement.
• Lead or contribute to network-related incident response, troubleshooting, and post-mortems.
• Take a technical leadership role in architecting and implementing global infrastructure scaling for new office/lab expansions, production-like test environments, customer support, and data center environments.
• Develop and enforce network standards, documentation, runbooks, and operational SOPs.
• Evaluate new networking and security-focused technologies and solutions as d-Matrix expands and matures into a global enterprise environment.
