Apply for this position

The role

From prototype to production, our Network Engineer role puts you at the center of building software people rely on. Lean on 1+ years of technology expertise to own projects, collaborate with a sharp team, and earn $58,000 - $92,000.

Key Responsibilities

  • Re-architect the technology flow so RAID Configuration handles ten times Houston's current load
  • Ship VPN Configuration fixes to PepsiCo customers in Houston, TX the same day they report them
  • Hand off VLAN runbooks so the next on-call at PepsiCo sleeps better
  • Build Zendesk self-service tools so Houston teams stop filing tickets for everything
  • Turn PepsiCo's Work Ethic on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
  • Build the calmly-fast-moving Work Ethic feature that wins back the TX accounts PepsiCo lost
  • Trace a technology number back through Cross-Functional Collaboration services until it finally adds up

What You'll Bring

  • Knowledge of TX-specific regulations relevant to technology work
  • A point of view on PepsiCo's space, sharpened by your own reading
  • Real proficiency with Firewall Management, plus willingness to learn Cross-Functional Collaboration fast
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a junior capacity
  • Fluency in VLAN earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • 1+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions

The reputation PepsiCo enjoys across TX wasn't bought; the make-it-better Houston team earned it one technology project at a time. Burnout is treated as a system bug at PepsiCo, not a badge of generously-mentoring honor.

Your compensation opens at $58,000 - $92,000, your mentor is waiting, your benefits are ready, and your hours are yours to flex.

Just re-listed with today's date, the technology role is fully active.

Tell us about the fast-moving project you're proudest of when you apply for this Network Engineer seat.
