Sr. Engineer - Managed Services - Network - SmartHands - Santa Barbara CA at CDW

This senior-level role is designed for a versatile Network Engineer with at least 5–9 years of experience managing complex IT infrastructure. You should have a deep background in enterprise routing, switching, and WAN technologies, particularly within Cisco-centric environments. While the role is listed as virtual, it is specifically for candidates near Santa Barbara/Goleta who can provide physical "Smart Hands" support at local data centers. The compensation package is competitive, featuring a base salary up to $148k plus a 10% annual bonus. Although primarily a Managed Services position, it offers a hybrid-style balance: you’ll enjoy the flexibility of remote work but remain hands-on with physical hardware. CDW also provides clear pathways for professional development, encouraging you to earn advanced certifications like CCNP or PCNSE. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Live in the Santa Barbara/Goleta area and can respond to on-site data center needs. * Are comfortable being part of a 24/7 on-call rotation for critical system support. * Have hands-on experience with Cisco Nexus, F5/Citrix load balancers, and Palo Alto or Fortinet firewalls. * Enjoy a mix of high-level architecture/automation and physical hardware troubleshooting.
