• Cisco Meraki

• Modern Wi-Fi environments, including newer wireless standards
• Large multi-site footprint
• High-density user environments
• Continued location growth and expansion

What They Want

Someone who can walk into a difficult Wi-Fi issue, investigate independently, and identify the root cause.

The right person will also look beyond the immediate problem, identify improvements, document processes, and help mentor other technical team members.

Not a Fit

• Generic route/switch engineers
• Candidates with limited wireless depth
• Candidates with no Meraki experience
• Pure architects who are no longer hands-o
