What We’re Looking For
CyberPoint is seeking a hands-on Journeyman Network Engineer to temporarily support a senior engineering team while a team member is out for the summer.

    • Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
    • Dell, Arista, and Juniper layer 2/3 switches (including Cisco IOS and JunOS)
    • Palo Alto Next Generation Firewalls (NGFW)
    • Brocade Fibre Channel switches
    • Dell iDRAC using OpenManage Enterprise (OME)

When you become a part of CyberPoint you are joining a dynamic, diverse, fast-growing company that welcomes creative thought and ambition. We're committed to creating an environment where each employee can thrive and make a real impact.

What You’ll Need

  • U.S Citizenship
  • Network certification such as Cisco CCNA, CompTIA Network+, Juniper JNCA or equivalent
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with the technologies listed above
  • Ability to work 20 hours/week consistently with flexibility to surge up to 40 hours/week based on evolving customer needs.
  • Strong documentation skills and familiarity with Jira and Confluence
What Will Set You Apart
  • Ability to surge to 100% FTE as needed
  • Experience with Windows and Linux system administration
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Gigamon HC Series packet brokers (GigaVUE, Fabric Manager)
    • Juniper Session Smart Routers (SSR)
    • Splunk Enterprise (SIEM) and Splunk SOAR
    • Cribl and Tenzir platforms
Work Environment
  • Hybrid setup: 4 days WFH / 1 day in-office in Columbia, MD
  • Occasional additional in-office days may be required for planned outages or customer engagement
  • Small, senior-level team that values curiosity, initiative and knowledge sharing
  • Minimal meetings, high autonomy and strong emphasis on embracing responsibility, adapting quickly and delivering results
Contract Status
  • This is a temporary backfill role for the months of June, July and August. While additional contract work may open opportunities for ongoing employment, there is no guarantee of extension beyond August at this time.
