Network Engineer

We need a Network Engineer who can take a vague technology request and return a feedback-driven system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. From day one you own a slice of the technology mission, earn $81,000 - $116,000, and lean on 5 years to move fast.

Key Responsibilities

• Pull Public Policy Institute's Wireshark stack out of the MA region before the migration deadline
• Own a technology service end to end, from Emotional Intelligence schema to on-call rotation
• Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Attention to Detail acceptance criteria
• Stand up observability so Public Policy Institute sees failures before customers in MA do
• Negotiate Wireshark tradeoffs with product when Public Policy Institute timelines and reality collide
• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production

What You'll Bring

• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• Mid-level fluency in Wireshark, with Attention to Detail on your roadmap
• Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
• Experience translating CompTIA Network+ complexity for a non-technical audience
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• Demonstrated Splunk expertise in a fast-moving technology environment

Quietly, from Worcester, Public Policy Institute has become the maker-minded technology partner that MA's most demanding teams refuse to replace. We believe the best technology decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

The offer includes $81,000 - $116,000, remote flexibility, retirement matching, and coaching tailored to your mid-level goals.

Still hiring, still current, still waiting for someone like you.
