Job Title: Network Engineer Department: Network Operations Hours: 8am to 5pm Pacific Time - Monday-Friday + On-Call Rotation THIS IS A FULL TIME DEDICATED ROLE - STRONG PREFERENCE FOR US or CANADA BASED but will accept candidates worldwide with strong English and limited accent. About Us Atlas Networks is an independent Internet Service Provider based in Seattle, WA. We believe everyone deserves a reliable, affordable internet connection—without the nonsense. Our team thrives on our core values: Grit, Get S##t Done, Constructive Candor, and Continuous Evolution. We bring a mix of precision, personality, and professionalism to everything we do. We’re looking for a Network Engineer who can move fluidly between tactical work (device provisioning, escalated support tickets, configuration changes) and strategic contributions (network design input, advanced troubleshooting, process optimization). If you’re as comfortable at a CLI prompt as you are collaborating on architecture improvements, we want to talk. About You You’ve got the solid fundamentals of networking and have proficiency in MikroTik RouterOS. You don’t cut corners, you write things down, and you think three steps ahead in your configurations. You thrive in environments where expectations are high and processes matter, but you’re adaptable enough to work through the curveballs. You MUST: - Be willing to work Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm Pacific Time (Seattle, WA) - Be a fluent English speaker with minimal accent (customer-facing work required); we require a video of your speaking abilities with the application - Be willing to prove your skills and test live in a lab environment with our Chief Network Engineer before hire (please don't apply if you're not a Mikrotik guru) - Be willing to be a part of after-hours call rotation for responding to emergency tickets and outages. Our NOC team takes call shifts for a week at a time. Additional compensation will be provided for responding after-hours. - Dedicated to us during working hours - we do not tolerate people who work for multiple companies in overlapping shifts! Core Responsibilities: - Provision and configure MikroTik routers/switches, TP-Link Omada & Deco devices, and Ubiquiti UniFi gear to production standards - we have a fairly big network (thousands of Mikrotik devices) - Serve as overflow and escalation point for helpdesk and supporting our field teams - Troubleshoot and resolve advanced network issues (layer 2 & 3) quickly and effectively - Assist in planning and implementing network changes and upgrades - Maintain accurate documentation for every deployment and change - Follow and improve our established provisioning and escalation processes Required Skills & Experience: - Deep, hands-on experience with MikroTik RouterOS (you will be tested) - Strong knowledge of networking protocols: TCP/IP, VLANs, DHCP, DNS, OSPF/BGP fundamentals - Solid troubleshooting skills across multiple vendors (MikroTik, TP-Link, Ubiquiti) - Ability to work independently while collaborating in a remote-first team - Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines without sacrificing quality - Our engineering team is required to participate in emergency after-hours call rotation - in addition to their normal daily duties. This means that you would be responsible for responding to network outages and emergency tickets 24/7 for an entire week roughly once per month. The call rotation lasts from 8am Tuesday to the following Tuesday at 8am (Pacific Time). You must have the ability to receive text messages from a US number and respond within 1 hour. You are paid for the additional hours worked. Preferred (Not Required): - Experience with Ubiquiti and/or Aviat (or similar) microwave radio configurations and supporting alignments - Experience with TP-Link Omada controllers, Deco systems, and Ubiquiti UniFi products - Experience with, or at least understand the fundamentals, of VoIP (we operate our own switch) - MikroTik certifications (MTCNA, MTCRE) - Cisco certifications (CCST, CCNA) or equivalent vendor-neutral credentials - ISP or service provider network experience What We Offer: - A high-expectation, high-support work environment - Opportunity to work on a growing ISP network with complex, real-world challenges - A team that values results, candor, and personal growth over politics and ego English Language Exercise Take a video or record audio (cell phone is fine) of you reading the standardized sample text used globally for accent comparison: “Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.” If you’re ready to work hard, think hard, and contribute at a higher level while still getting your hands dirty with the day-to-day, submit your proposal. Tell us about your most challenging MikroTik project, your troubleshooting approach, your microwave radio experience, and your certifications.

Hello Atlas Networks Team, I am Muhammad Awais, a network engineer with deep MikroTik RouterOS hands-on experience and a pragmatic approach to ISP networks. I can handle both tactical work—provisioning, escalated tickets, and configuration changes—and strategic contributions like design input and process optimization. I’m comfortable at a CLI prompt and in cross-team planning, and I value precise documentation, repeatable processes, and reliable uptime. I understand Atlas Networks runs thousands of MikroTik devices across a Seattle-based network, with TP-Link Omada and Ubiquiti gear, and requires strict adherence to Pacific Time hours, after-hours on-call rotation, and lab-based skill validation. I’m ready to contribute to provisioning standards, escalation handling, and architecture improvements while keeping documentation up to date. Understanding and approach: I will quickly triage incidents, implement robust provisioning workflows, and document every change. I’ll collaborate on routing design (OSPF/BGP), QoS policies, and gear migrations, and help optimize changes with minimal disruption. I will maintain strong lab validation, thorough runbooks, and timely communication aligned with your grit-and-candor culture. Technical questions for you: What is the current MikroTik RouterOS version and total device count, and what growth is planned? What deployment and change-management workflows do you currently use for provisioning and escalations, and what improvements do you w

Hello Atlas Networks Team, I’m applying for the Network Engineer role and would be excited to support Atlas Networks’ production ISP environment. I currently work as a Network Operations / NOC Engineer in an ISP setting, handling live network support, escalations, and Layer 2/3 troubleshooting. I have hands-on experience with MikroTik RouterOS and am comfortable being tested in a live lab. My experience includes provisioning MikroTik routers and switches, VLANs, bridging, DHCP, NAT, firewall rules, queues, static routing, and OSPF fundamentals, along with strong TCP/IP, DNS, and DHCP troubleshooting. One of my most challenging MikroTik tasks involved resolving intermittent customer outages caused by VLAN misconfiguration and DHCP conflicts across multiple edge devices. I isolated the issue layer-by-layer, corrected bridge/VLAN tagging, standardized DHCP scopes, and documented a repeatable provisioning process to prevent recurrence. I regularly act as an escalation point for helpdesk tickets and collaborate with field teams. My troubleshooting approach is structured, documented, and focused on fast, permanent fixes. In addition to MikroTik, I have experience with Cisco networking (CCNA certified) and basic support of Ubiquiti UniFi environments. I understand microwave radio fundamentals and can adapt quickly to Aviat or similar platforms. Best regards, Aamir Sohail Network / NOC Engineer
