BlueAlly • Remote, OR

2h • Hybrid

About The Position

This role is for a CCIE-certified engineer who brings serious data center expertise and hands-on cloud networking experience to match. You have around 8 years in the field, deep expertise in data center networking, and proven experience bridging on-premises infrastructure and AWS cloud connectivity. You’ll work on a complex, large-scale environment where your ability to operate independently and deliver technically sound solutions makes a real difference. This position supports a program based in the Woodlawn, MD area. Candidates located outside a 50-mile radius of that area are welcome to apply. For those candidates, regular onsite presence will generally not be required; however, we do ask that new hires plan to spend approximately one week onsite following the completion of system access and credentialing to meet the team and become familiar with the environment. Ongoing, we’d ask for at least one day onsite per quarter — or a combined multi-day visit that covers multiple quarters — where feasible. Please note that this is a full-time, direct-hire role. Due to segments of our customer base, we cannot sponsor employment visas. It is required that you have the ability to obtain and maintain a public trust.
