What this job asks for AI summary

A senior network engineering position at a managed service provider, focused on designing, deploying, and troubleshooting complex network environments — including firewalls, VPNs, SD-WAN, switching, and wireless — across SMB and mid-market client sites. The role also serves as an escalation point for lower-tier support, involves presenting technical solutions to executive stakeholders, and includes mentoring junior engineers.

Why we read it this way (6)

No work location or city is specified in the posting; CBSA is left blank. The role is at Netrio, a North American MSP, but no specific office location is stated.

The title 'Tier 3 Network Engineer' carries no standard seniority level word (Junior/Mid/Senior/etc.), so advertised seniority is Unspecified; the 5+ years requirement and escalation/design scope support a Senior classification.

The role is primarily network infrastructure design, implementation, and advanced troubleshooting — squarely 15-1244. The heavy firewall/security emphasis (Palo Alto NGFW, Fortinet FortiGate, VPN, Prisma) makes 15-1212 a plausible runner-up.

Certifications (Fortinet NSE4+, PCNSE, CCNP, Meraki CMNA/ECMS) are listed as 'strongly preferred,' not required — captured as preferred skills. The NSE4 skill represents the NSE4+ family; PCNSE and CCNP are listed as alternatives since the JD presents them as a peer group.

Azure and AWS are listed together as 'Azure/AWS' cloud networking experience; Azure is the primary skill with AWS as an alternative since they are interchangeable in this context.

No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
