Description
Open Technology Solutions is 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.
