Network Engineer - Automation

At Constant Contact, we are seriously awesome people who take ownership and make an impact by operating with the mindset, integrity and courage of a small business owner. There’s something so profoundly rewarding about knowing that your work is empowering people everywhere to pursue their dreams . Here, we all play an integral part in helping business owners, entrepreneurs, non-profits and individuals to succeed by giving them all the help and tools they need to grow online. We’re energized by new challenges and new possibilities-and we’re just getting started!

We have an opening for a Network Engineer who will work on traditional network engineering and extensive network automation. You won't be writing software full-time, but you will be expected to automate the way we configure, deploy, and monitor network infrastructure. If you're a network engineer who has started building scripts and tooling to eliminate manual work and wants to go deeper on that, this role is built for you.

You'll also carry hands-on operational responsibilities: participating in infrastructure lifecycle projects, working day-to-day deployments across data centers and offices, troubleshooting complex issues alongside other operations teams, and contributing to security and compliance initiatives including DDoS mitigation and PCI. There is an on-call rotation as part of this role.

• This role requires someone based in the Boston area who can work a flexible hybrid schedule from our Waltham, MA office. There will be an onsite interview as part of the process ***
