About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring a Senior Network Engineer to support and optimize wireless and network infrastructure in a fast-moving technical environment.

This role is focused on:

  • Enterprise wireless networking
  • Routing & switching
  • ISP/WISP-style infrastructure

  • Wireless performance and coverage optimization
  • Successful deployment and configuration accuracy
  • Reduced recurring infrastructure issues

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Work on real infrastructure environments
  • Strong exposure to wireless + ISP/WISP networking
  • High-impact technical ownership
  • Opportunity to grow into:
  • Lead Network Engineer
  • Infrastructure Architect
  • Wireless Specialist
  • Fully remote with U.S.-based collaboration
