Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/network-engineer

A Network Engineer designs, builds, and optimizes the networks that connect an organization's systems, offices, and data centers, going beyond day-to-day administration into architecture and capacity planning. The role requires deep expertise in routing and switching, typically on Cisco equipment, along with network security controls and increasingly cloud networking across AWS or Azure environments. Modern network engineers also use network automation tools to manage configurations at scale and rely on strong TCP/IP troubleshooting skills to resolve complex connectivity issues.
