The Client & Opportunity

Join a premier, multi-site healthcare system serving the North Georgia community. This organization is currently in the middle of a massive digital transformation, aggressively migrating mission-critical clinical infrastructure (including EHR and Imaging systems) into a Hybrid-AWS environment.

You will be joining a disciplined team of 12 engineers where "getting it done" is the standard. This isn't just a maintenance role—it’s a chance to architect the path to the cloud for an organization with 5 major hospitals and 80+ remote locations.

Job Summary

This is a Network Engineer II position designed for a technically curious professional with a deep foundation in traditional Routing & Switching who is ready to evolve into a Cloud-Hybrid specialist. You will be responsible for the support, implementation, and lifecycle management of a sprawling network infrastructure.

Beyond day-to-day operations, you will act as a primary contributor to the "Cloud Path," assisting in the secure transition of applications, load balancers, and firewalls to AWS. The ideal candidate thrives in a high-stakes, 24x7 environment where technical logic and clear communication are paramount.

Detailed Responsibilities

• Hybrid Cloud Orchestration: Actively assist in the ongoing migration of on-premises services to AWS. You will manage and configure cloud-based firewalls, load balancers, and Transit Gateways to ensure seamless connectivity between physical hospitals and the cloud.
• Enterprise Infrastructure Management: Maintain, troubleshoot, and upgrade a multi-vendor environment consisting of Juniper (EX/QFX/MX) and Palo Alto (PA-Series) across a complex enterprise backbone.
• Project Delivery & Construction: Collaborate cross-functionally with Application Managers and Construction Project Managers. You will lead the network build-out for new clinical sites, from initial design and cabling oversight to final switch and firewall configuration.
• Security & Availability: Ensure 99.99% uptime for critical clinical systems. This includes managing F5 BIG-IP LTM traffic management policies and maintaining security governance through Zero Trust frameworks.
• Network Operations: Manage a portion of the team’s 50–100 weekly tickets. You will perform complex problem isolation, IP addressing scenarios, and maintain detailed technical documentation for all infrastructure solutions.
• On-Call & Triage: Participate in a collaborative on-call rotation (roughly once every 11–12 weeks). During your rotation, you must be available to go on-site for physical triage at any of the North Georgia facilities if needed.

Technical Qualifications

• Experience: Approximately 4+ years of hands-on experience in a high-availability enterprise environment. We prioritize demonstrated technical skill and logic over specific degrees or years on a resume.
• Core Networking: Proficiency with Juniper or Cisco environments. (Our environment is primarily Juniper/Mist; we are happy to cross-train a Cisco expert who is eager to switch).
• Security & Load Balancing: Hands-on experience with Palo Alto firewalls and F5 Load Balancers is highly preferred. Experience with Forescout is a plus.
• The Cloud Pivot: A foundational understanding of AWS connectivity (VPCs, Direct Connect). If you haven't mastered the cloud yet, you must have the aptitude to learn it quickly.
• Certification Commitment: To ensure team excellence, you will be required to obtain your JNCIS and AWS Cloud Practitioner certifications within the first few months. The client will fully fund and sponsor these certifications.
• Physical Requirements: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and travel to various hospital sites within a 30-mile radius of Gainesville, GA.
• Compliance: Must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident (USC/Green Card).

What Success Looks Like

The interview process involves a "Technical Gauntlet" with the Hiring Manager, where you will be asked to whiteboard a network on the fly, draw out communication flows, and assign IP addresses in real-time. We are looking for an engineer who doesn't just follow a manual but understands the "why" behind the packet flow.
