Senior Cisco Network Engineer (CCNP Required)

Senior Cisco Network Engineer (CCNP Required)

Company: Glencom Systems, Inc.
Location: Linden, NJ | Onsite (5 Days/Week)
Compensation: $125K–$150K + Bonus

Why this role is different

Looking for a true Cisco engineer, someone who still enjoys the CLI, can own a network end-to-end, and wants real technical authority—not layers of process.

If you’re tired of:

• Being stuck in a silo supporting one static environment
• Endless escalation chains and approval processes
• Doing more coordination than engineering

This is the opposite.

At Glencom, you’ll work across multiple real-world environments, design and implement Cisco solutions end-to-end, and operate as a true technical authority—not just a ticket resolver.

Senior-Level Role Overview

This position is strictly for senior-level network engineers.

Glencom Systems is seeking a CCNP-level Cisco Network Engineer who can:

• Lead complex environments
• Make independent design decisions
• Act as a trusted advisor to clients

This is not an entry-level or mid-level role.
Applicants without deep, hands-on Cisco experience and real production ownership will not be considered.

What You Will Own

• Technical ownership of complex, multi-site customer networks
• Network architecture design, optimization, and lifecycle planning
• Hands-on engineering across:
• Routing & Switching (BGP, OSPF, VLANs, STP)
• Cisco DNA Center, ISE
• SD WAN
• Leadership on:
• Network refreshes
• Migrations
• Security initiatives
• Advanced troubleshooting across the full network stack
• Direct client interaction as a senior technical authority (not sales-driven)
• Mentorship of junior and mid-level engineers

Tech Stack (What You’ll Actually Touch)

• Cisco Catalyst / Nexus / ISR / ASR
• DNAC, ISE, SD WAN
• VLANs, STP, OSPF, BGP, EIGRP
• Site-to-site and remote access VPNs (IPsec, AnyConnect)
• Meraki (nice to have)
• Multi-vendor environments typical of a VAR

Required Qualifications (Non-Negotiable)

• Cisco CCNP (Enterprise, Wireless, or Security) – required
• 5+ years hands-on Cisco networking experience in production
• Strong CLI expertise (routers, switches, firewalls)
• Expert understanding of:
• TCP/IP
• Routing & switching
• VLANs and WAN technologies
• Proven ability to:
• Troubleshoot complex issues independently
• Own environments end-to-end
• Comfortable making decisions without a playbook

Strongly Preferred (Senior-Level Differentiators)

• Check Point firewall design and administration
• Meraki enterprise deployments
• SD WAN
• Network security design & best practices
• Experience in a VAR or multi-client environment (big plus)
• Presales engineering / solution design experience

What This Role Is NOT

• Not a help desk role
• Not a “maintain one network forever” job
• Not heavily layered with bureaucracy
• Not for candidates who need constant direction

Work Expectations

• Onsite in Linden, NJ (5 days/week)
• Client-facing with local travel (NJ/NYC metro)
• Participation in scheduled after-hours maintenance
• High level of autonomy, accountability, and ownership
