Senior Network Infrastructure Projects Engineer (Boston/NY/SF)

About the role

Pliancy is fundamentally changing the way businesses value technology. We're on a mission to prove that the right technology (and the right technologists) can help accelerate progress toward radical, ambitious goals. Pliancy specializes in partnering with life sciences organizations, capital management firms, and emerging startups, providing IT support to bold leaders pushing science and technology forward. Our employees and clients find that we're starkly different from other IT organizations because we challenge the status quo in two major ways: by putting people first in every decision we make, and by innovating towards simplicity every chance we get. As a people-first company that invests in the long-term success of our employees, we're looking for creative thinkers who like to solve interesting problems. We prioritize curiosity and empathy in all of our hiring decisions. We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Projects Engineer to join our dynamic Infrastructure Projects team. This team is dedicated to managing a range of initiatives, from large-scale build-outs and relocation projects to targeted infrastructure service improvements. As a client-facing engineer, you will regularly interact with C-suite stakeholders, translating complex technical concepts into clear, actionable communication, and expectation setting is imperative. The location options for this role are: Boston, CA Bay Area, or New York, with frequent local travel required within the greater region surrounding those areas. Occasional travel to other Pliancy hubs may be necessary. What is the work like? Many of our clients are showing consistent growth. This manifests as a lot of movement into and out of office spaces. In both of our client verticals, we find ourselves: Joining owner, architect, and contractor calls to work closely with construction teams and their subcontractors for pieces that impact low-voltage and audiovisual installations. Designing, ordering, and implementing a full network stack (switching, firewalls, and wireless). Partnering with internet service providers and working with them from site surveys to circuit activation. Scoping and installing AV hardware for high-traffic conference rooms, executive suites, and hybrid collaboration spaces There is a lot of on-site work, but there will be instances where you are doing various, remote value-add efforts (predictive wireless surveys, license renewals, maintenance, or post-installation support). Who are we looking for? Our ideal candidate has a strong technical background with a project manager's mindset . You are someone who finds as much satisfaction in an organized server rack and a flawlessly executed office move as you do in troubleshooting a complex routing issue. You are able to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.In addition to managing day-to-day operations, you will help play a key role in maintaining and continuously improving our standards. You are a "T-shaped" engineer: you possess expertise in Network Architecture (Layer 2/3) and Physical Infrastructure, supplemented by a broad understanding of the modern SaaS/IaaS and AV stacks. You don't just follow a project plan-you help build the standards that define how Pliancy executes infrastructure work.
