- Escalation Calls: Participate in escalation calls to aid in troubleshooting, resolution, and root-causing of incidents.
Required Qualifications:
- Experience: 5+ years in a NOC, SOC, TechOps, or similar structured operations environment, with a strong understanding of incident management lifecycles and SLAs.
- Infrastructure Monitoring: Proven experience monitoring enterprise networks, cloud infrastructure (AWS or GCP), and critical databases.
- Core Services: Strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, authentication services EntraID, OpenAuth, SSL/TLS, and general networking.
- Tooling: Proficiency with modern monitoring and observability platforms (e.g., Grafana, Datadog, Kentik, Logic Monitor, or similar alert management systems).
- Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to convey critical technical issues clearly during high-pressure situations.
- Availability: Willing and able to work 100% on-site in Scottsdale, AZ on an assigned shift that includes at least one weekend day (Saturday or Sunday) every week, including holiday coverage as scheduled.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with ticketing and incident management systems such as Incident.io, PagerDuty, Opsgenie, ServiceNow, and JIRA.

Mid Level Network Operations Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a mid level network operations engineer job?
Highlight ownership, not just task completion. Recruiters at this level want to see that you have led projects, resolved complex outages independently, and improved processes your team depends on. Lead your resume with concrete outcomes: uptime improvements, automation you built, or escalation procedures you wrote. Certifications like CCNA or a relevant vendor credential sharpen your candidacy when paired with that demonstrated scope of work.
Which companies hire mid level network operations engineers?
Companies hiring mid level network operations engineers right now include General Dynamics Information Technology, HP, and OpenAI, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including managed service providers, large enterprises running their own network operations centers, and cloud-forward organizations scaling their infrastructure teams.
Are there remote mid level network operations engineer jobs?
Yes, though availability depends heavily on the employer's infrastructure model. About 0% of mid level network operations engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with fully on-site roles most common at organizations that require hands-on access to physical hardware, data centers, or sensitive network environments. Hybrid arrangements are increasingly common at larger enterprises.
How do I move up to a mid level network operations engineer role?
The path from entry level to mid level is built on deepening technical ownership over time. Early in your career, focus on mastering core protocols, earning foundational certifications, and volunteering for on-call rotations that expose you to real incidents. As your confidence grows, seek out projects where you configure, monitor, or troubleshoot without a senior engineer guiding every step. Demonstrating measurable impact, such as reducing mean time to resolution, signals readiness for mid level scope.
Which industries hire the most mid level network operations engineers?
Mid Level network operations engineer roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Energy, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors tend to run large, complex networks with high uptime requirements, which drives sustained demand for engineers who can operate independently and own meaningful portions of the infrastructure.
