Network Engineer

Denver, CO
Full Time
Research and Development
Mid Level

Simplesense helps those who help others. Emergency operators and first responders rely on a complex mix of legacy and modern information systems to coordinate actions during emergency incidents when every second is critical. However, these systems do not interoperate well with one another, resulting in lower operational efficiency, poorer situational awareness, and slower response times. Using a secured common data platform, Simplesense integrates sensors and systems to deliver aggregated data to the right person at the right time.

 

Simplesense is the prime contractor on the Air Force's Installation Resilience Operations Command and Control (IROC) contract and is hiring to fill immediate needs to support the deployment of advanced technology connecting and securing civil engineering and security forces technologies for greater base awareness capabilities.

  • Deploy and maintain a hybrid on-prem and cloud network environment to meet operational needs
  • Collaborate on architecture decisions required to integrate new systems and functionality
  • Investigate and resolve network issues
