This is a hands-on technical position for someone who lives in routing, switching, firewalls, and wireless — and who wants to help shape how a growing MSP designs and secures networks across a diverse portfolio of business clients.\nAt neteffect technologies, you'll architect, deploy, and secure network environments built on Ubiquiti and Fortinet, own network segmentation and access control end to end, and serve as the subject matter expert our team and clients turn to for connectivity, performance, and network security questions. We're actively standardizing on the Ubiquiti UniFi full stack while continuing to support Fortinet across our client base — so you'll have real influence on the standards we set as we make that transition.\nCompany Description\nFounded in 1991 and based in Charlotte, NC, neteffect technologies is an established Managed Service Provider delivering managed IT, cloud, security, virtualization, and telecom solutions to businesses across the region. We operate as a true technology partner — taking ownership of our clients' IT environments so they can focus on running their business. Our engineering team supports a diverse portfolio of clients, backed by strong leadership and a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.\nWhat Makes This Role Different\nOwn the network stack — from physical layer to cloud, you'll be the connectivity and network-security SME the team escalates to.\nShape the Ubiquiti transition — help define the UniFi standards, designs, and playbooks as we move toward a Ubiquiti-first model.\nReal security ownership — segmentation, NAC, ZTNA, and firewall policy are yours to design and enforce, not just maintain.\nWork across a varied client base — no two networks are the same; you'll see it all, from single-site offices to multi-site WANs.\nCollaborate with leadership on strategy — not just execution, but helping shape how we approach networking and network security as an MSP.\nA fully resourced toolset across PSA, RMM, monitoring, and documentation platforms.\nJob Summary\nThis Network Engineer role is responsible for the design, implementation, management, and continuous improvement of network and network-security solutions across the neteffect client portfolio. Primary focus areas include routing and switching, Ubiquiti UniFi and Fortinet firewalls, network segmentation and access control, SD-WAN and WAN connectivity, enterprise wireless, voice/telecom, and Azure cloud networking.\nYou'll serve as the technical escalation point for network issues, handle complex project work, conduct network and security reviews, and help define standards and best practices for the broader engineering team.\nKey Responsibilities\nNetwork Architecture & Administration\nDesign, implement, and manage enterprise LAN/WAN environments — routing, switching, VLANs, trunking, and Layer 2/Layer 3 segmentation.\nBuild and manage the Ubiquiti UniFi full stack across the client portfolio: Cloud Gateways, switches, access points, and the UniFi Network application / Site Manager.\nDesign and deploy enterprise wireless — site surveys, RF planning, controller management, and troubleshooting.\nConfigure dynamic and static routing (OSPF, BGP, static) and ensure resilient, high-availability network topologies.\nFirewall & Network Security\nArchitect, deploy, and tune firewalls on both Ubiquiti and Fortinet (FortiGate) platforms — security policy, NAT, IPS/IDS, web/content filtering, and application control.\nOwn network segmentation and access control — VLAN segmentation, NAC/802.1X, and Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) design and enforcement.\nDesign and manage VPN connectivity: site-to-site IPsec, SSL/remote-access VPN, and secure interconnects.\nHarden network infrastructure and conduct periodic network security reviews; coordinate with the security team on incidents that touch the network layer.\nWAN, SD-WAN & Connectivity\nManage ISP relationships, circuit turn-ups, and WAN connectivity across single- and multi-site clients.\nDesign and deploy SD-WAN for performance, resiliency, and failover.\nPlan and execute network cutovers and migrations with minimal downtime.\nCloud Networking\nDesign and manage Azure networking — VNets, subnets, NSGs, route tables, VPN Gateway, and hybrid connectivity to on-premises networks.\nSupport secure, reliable connectivity between client sites and cloud workloads.\nVoice & Telecom\nDeploy and support VoIP/telecom infrastructure — SIP trunks, handsets/SBCs, dial plans, and QoS for voice quality.\nTroubleshoot voice and connectivity issues across client environments.\nPhysical Infrastructure\nDesign and standardize physical-layer infrastructure: IDF/MDF layouts, structured cabling standards, rack design, and switch provisioning.\nManage firmware/OS lifecycle for switches, APs, and firewalls; validate stability post-upgrade.\nEngineering Standards & Escalation\nServe as the escalation point for the engineering team on complex network and network-security issues.\nDevelop and maintain runbooks, configuration standards, network diagrams, and decision frameworks.\nConduct post-incident reviews and produce RCAs for significant network events or outages.\nDeliver internal training on networking and network-security best practices and evolving Ubiquiti/Fortinet technologies.\nClient Engagement & Strategy\nEngage directly with client IT leadership on network posture, roadmap planning, and risk.\nProduce and present clear, actionable reports on network health, capacity, and security findings.\nParticipate in QBRs and strategic planning meetings as a technical advisor.\nRequired Qualifications\nExperience\n4–7 years of IT experience with at least 3 years focused on enterprise networking at an engineering level.\nMSP experience required — you understand multi-tenant management, client accountability, and the discipline of working across varied environments simultaneously.\nDemonstrated hands-on experience designing and managing routing, switching, firewalls, and wireless.\nExperience designing and enforcing network security controls — segmentation, NAC, and firewall policy.\nTechnical Skills — Required\nRouting & Switching: VLANs, 802.1Q trunking, STP/RSTP, Layer 2/Layer 3 design, OSPF/BGP, static routing.\nFirewalls: FortiGate and Ubiquiti — security policy, NAT, VPN (site-to-site IPsec, SSL VPN), IPS, content/web filtering.\nNetwork security: network segmentation, NAC/802.1X, ZTNA principles, firewall hardening.\nWireless: Ubiquiti UniFi — enterprise WLAN design, RF planning, controller management.\nWAN & SD-WAN: circuit/ISP management, SD-WAN deployment, failover and redundancy.\nCloud networking: Azure VNets, NSGs, VPN Gateway, and hybrid connectivity.\nCore protocols & services: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, subnetting, QoS.\nMonitoring & documentation: network monitoring and topology tools, disciplined documentation.\nTechnical Skills — Preferred\nFortinet management & analytics: FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer (strong plus — central to how we manage our Fortinet footprint).\nVoIP/SIP and voice QoS design.\nAdvanced Azure networking (ExpressRoute, Azure Firewall, peering).\nPowerShell or scripting for network automation and reporting.\nStructured cabling and physical-layer / IDF-MDF design.\nPreferred Tool Experience\nFamiliarity with any of the following is a strong plus.
