About The Position

At Constant Contact, we are seriously awesome people who take ownership and make an impact by operating with the mindset, integrity and courage of a small business owner. There’s something so profoundly rewarding about knowing that your work is empowering people everywhere to pursue their dreams. Here, we all play an integral part in helping business owners, entrepreneurs, non-profits and individuals to succeed by giving them all the help and tools they need to grow online. We’re energized by new challenges and new possibilities-and we’re just getting started! We have an opening for a Network Engineer who will work on traditional network engineering and extensive network automation. You won't be writing software full-time, but you will be expected to automate the way we configure, deploy, and monitor network infrastructure. If you're a network engineer who has started building scripts and tooling to eliminate manual work and wants to go deeper on that, this role is built for you. You'll also carry hands-on operational responsibilities: participating in infrastructure lifecycle projects, working day-to-day deployments across data centers and offices, troubleshooting complex issues alongside other operations teams, and contributing to security and compliance initiatives including DDoS mitigation and PCI. There is an on-call rotation as part of this role. About the Team: The Network Engineering team sits within Technical Operations at Constant Contact. We own the design, deployment, and ongoing operation of network infrastructure across our data centers and corporate offices, spanning WAN edge, switching and routing platforms, wireless, NGFW/IPS/IDS, DDoS mitigation, NAC, load balancers, DNS, inter-DC /inter-office connectivity, and cloud networking. We operate as a 24x7 team with on-call responsibilities.
