Founded in 1978, we rank among the top 100 law firms identified by The American Lawyer and 36 in the National Law Journal's survey of the nation's largest law firms. The Position We're looking for a Senior Network Engineer to own and evolve our enterprise network across multi-site and cloud environments.

Key Responsibilities Design & Architecture Architect scalable, resilient network solutions including routing/switching, SD-WAN, firewalls, VPN, QoS, and zero-trust segmentation. Define requirements, evaluate technologies, and lead infrastructure changes from design through implementation. Develop and maintain business continuity and disaster recovery plans for all network components. Operations & Maintenance Perform proactive maintenance — patching, upgrades, tuning, and health monitoring across the networking estate. Manage vulnerability findings and vendor security advisories for network equipment and systems. Maintain accurate network documentation, configuration baselines, and topology diagrams. Own and resolve network-related incidents and service requests, driving issues to resolution. Collaboration & Strategy Partner with security, infrastructure, and application teams to support firm-wide initiatives.

Cisco ACI - Hands-on experience with Nexus 9300/9000 series in ACI mode — fabric design, EPG/contract configuration, and troubleshooting. Proven ability to architect, implement, and troubleshoot complex, multi-vendor network infrastructure. Strong documentation habits — you leave networks better documented than you found them. Ability to translate ambiguous business requirements into clear, implementable technical designs. Excellent communication skills — comfortable presenting to both engineers and executives. Strong project management instincts with the ability to juggle multiple workstreams independently. A collaborative, team-first mentality balanced with the ability to drive work autonomously.

Cisco certification at the professional or expert level (CCNP, CCDP, or CCIE) strongly preferred. Experience in professional services, financial services, or legal industry environments. Familiarity with network automation tooling (Ansible, Python/Netmiko, Terraform for network infra). Experience with public cloud networking (AWS, Azure) and hybrid connectivity patterns. Exposure to Panorama for centralized Palo Alto management at scale.
