About The Position

Under the direction of the Sr Manager Engineering and Infrastructure, the Senior Network Engineer IV applies IT methods, professional knowledge, and Valleywise Health architectural standards and practices to converged infrastructure. The role designs and manages complex systems throughout their life cycles, considering requirements, reliability, logistics, team coordination, trade-off evaluations, work processes, optimization, and risk management. It applies expertise in relevant domains to develop solutions across clinical management, business management, and biomedical systems, using architectural and engineering methods, SDLC, quality assurance, ITSM, Valleywise Health operational frameworks, and project management practices. The position identifies subtle system design or performance issues and acts appropriately to improve conditions, seeking validation when appropriate. It manages relationships with business partners, peers, and team members; serves as an escalation contact for challenging technical issues; and mentors team members and educates others on best practices. The primary focus is senior-level enterprise network infrastructure engineering in a complex, 24x7 healthcare environment. The engineer designs, operates, troubleshoots, and improves network and network-security infrastructure, including Cisco routing and switching, firewalls, VPNs, wireless, segmentation, high availability, monitoring, and lifecycle management. The role leads complex incident resolution, root-cause analysis, controlled change planning, vendor and application-team coordination, and environment documentation. Compute and storage experience is useful, but this is primarily a network engineering role. The position is local hybrid within the Phoenix metro area only.
