DESCRIPTION

Switchboard is seeking a Senior Network Engineer on behalf of our client, Open Technology Solutions (OTS). We're looking for an experienced network engineer who wants to own a platform, not just work tickets on it. You'll be the primary owner of OTS's Cisco switching and wireless environment, from new office builds and day-to-day support to the long-term roadmap. If you think in terms of business outcomes and can explain your work to leadership as clearly as you can configure a switch, we want to hear from you.

ABOUT OPEN TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS

Open Technology Solutions (OTS) is a CUSO (Credit Union Service Organization) providing shared technology services to credit union partners. Built on a cooperative model, OTS delivers enterprise-grade IT infrastructure, support, and innovation to its partner organizations, allowing them to compete at a higher level while keeping costs in check. OTS operates with the values of a credit union at its core: member-focused, collaborative, and committed to long-term relationships over short-term wins.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the Cisco switching and wireless platform end to end, including lifecycle, roadmap recommendations, compliance, and keeping it current and well maintained.

• Lead and execute new branch builds and related network projects.

• Support day-to-day switching and wireless operations and troubleshoot complex issues across the network.

• Resolve escalated tickets that our managed services provider can't, and help hold the MSP accountable for the work they own.

• Build and maintain runbooks and documentation the rest of the team can follow.

• Participate in project calls with internal leaders and partner organizations, translating technical work into business outcomes.

• Share knowledge with the team, including presenting on your areas of expertise in staff meetings.

• Partner with cross-functional teams to get things done when the fix lives outside your lane, rather than stopping at the edge of your area.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of network engineering experience

• Deep, hands-on expertise with Cisco switching and wireless

• Palo Alto firewall experience

• Strong troubleshooting skills at a senior level

• Nice to have: HPE SD-WAN, network automation, or cloud networking experience

• CCNP preferred

• A platform-ownership mindset. This is not a ticket-queue job. You own the outcome, not just the task.

• Self-directed. You take work from start to finish without needing to be managed closely.

• Comfortable in front of people. You can hold your own on a call with leadership or partners.

• Thrives in change. OTS is in a period of transition, and you'll need to navigate shifting priorities with a level head.

• Bonus points for a background that blends small-shop creativity with large-enterprise discipline.

COMPENSATION AND DETAILS

• Compensation: $135K–$150K + 10% bonus

• Benefits: Medical, dental, and vision; open vacation policy and paid sick time; up to 11 paid holidays; 401(k) with employer match and discretionary contribution
