We’re working with a well-established IT solutions provider based in South Jersey that’s looking to hire a Network Architect on a full-time, direct-hire basis. This company delivers cutting-edge network and security solutions to enterprise clients across healthcare, education, finance, and government sectors. This role will be heavily focused on Cisco routing/switching, Meraki cloud-managed networks, and overall network design and architecture.

This is an exciting opportunity to work with a team that’s leading large-scale digital transformations across the Mid-Atlantic. The organization is looking for a high-level thinker and doer—someone who can own network architecture from concept through execution. If you’ve been hands-on in Cisco enterprise environments, love designing scalable solutions, and want to have a direct say in how networks are built, this is your playground. You’ll have autonomy, support from a strong team, and a seat at the table when it comes to tech direction.
