Job Description

Senior Network Engineer (Wireless / Aruba / ISP Infrastructure) – Remote | EST Hours

About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Senior Network Engineer to support and optimize wireless and network infrastructure in a fast-moving technical environment.

This role is focused on:

  • Enterprise wireless networking
  • Routing & switching
  • ISP/WISP-style infrastructure
  • Troubleshooting & performance optimization

You’ll work on real-world deployments, network reliability, and infrastructure improvement — not just basic helpdesk tickets.

If you enjoy solving complex network problems and working hands-on with wireless infrastructure, this role is a strong fit.

  • Diagnose:
    • Connectivity issues
    • Packet loss

What Makes You a Strong Fit

  • You are hands-on and comfortable troubleshooting live environments
  • You enjoy solving infrastructure and connectivity issues
  • You are comfortable working independently in remote environments
  • You can communicate technical issues clearly to teams and stakeholders
  • You think proactively about reliability and performance

Required Experience & Skills

  • Monitor infrastructure reliability and uptime
  • Collaborate with teams on network improvements
  • Resolve technical incidents and escalations

In short:
You help maintain stable, high-performing wireless and network infrastructure across real-world production environments.

Key Metrics (KPIs)

  • Network uptime and reliability
  • Resolution time for technical issues
  • Wireless performance and coverage optimization
  • Successful deployment and configuration accuracy
  • Reduced recurring infrastructure issues

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Work on real infrastructure environments
  • Strong exposure to wireless + ISP/WISP networking
  • High-impact technical ownership
  • Opportunity to grow into:
    • Lead Network Engineer
    • Infrastructure Architect
    • Wireless Specialist
  • Fully remote with U.S.-based collaboration

  • Initial Screening
  • Technical Discussion
  • Client Interview
