STACK IT helps you hire Network Engineers who build for scale, recoverability, and post-deployment stability.
The right hire means fewer outages, faster recovery, and no scrambling for documentation. We place network engineers who build for continuity and resilience against failures.
We assess a candidate’s ability to maintain production-grade systems across tight SLAs, and constrained visibility.
We stand behind every hire with a 90-day guarantee.
We look for network engineers who strengthen your system. And when things go wrong? They stay calm, escalate, and leave a trail others can follow.
Documents resilient network topologies.
Diagnoses issues with tact and skill.
Manages firewalls and VPNs cleanly.
Uses tools to trace and verify issues.
Automates tasks to prevent manual errors.
According to New Relic’s 2024 Observability Forecast, engineering teams spend a median of 30% of their time addressing disruptions, equating to 12 hours per week.
Contract-first flexibility or full-time stability matched to your needs.
The network engineers who plan ahead don’t always raise their hand in meetings. But their work shows up in fewer escalations, tighter SLAs, and faster incident recovery. That’s what we screen for.
The network engineer we placed traced packet loss across vendor firewalls, restructured the routing policy, and resolved a persistent outage that had been escalating for weeks. Downtime decreased by 19%, and the client extended the contract for long-term operations support.
A managed service provider needed to consolidate network design across 9 clients without disrupting SLAs. Our hire standardized vendor configs, added automated change tracking, and built secure handoff documentation. Churn dropped. Client confidence rose.
A health tech org was undergoing ISO 27001 certification. Our Network Engineer built segmentation policies across internal VLANs, added logging for access control events, and tightened firewall rules by least-privilege. They passed the audit with zero findings.
Can the candidate build and optimize complex routing schemes across hybrid networks? We consider real-world design, not just textbook thinking.
Can the candidate build and optimize complex routing schemes across hybrid networks?
Do the network engineers apply segmentation and access control proactively? We screen for policy design and also firewall familiarity.

Can they trace live packet loss, isolate issues, and fix root causes fast without creating new ones?

Do they work confidently across cloud systems and in-house infrastructure, with awareness of the risks between them?

STACK IT screens for candidates who know how to balance access with safety, flexibility with governance.
The result? Environments that appear fine until a migration occurs, a failover fails, or an audit reveals access issues that no one had previously flagged.
We identify the gaps that appear too late, such as strong certifications but no delivery depth, tool familiarity without documentation discipline, or routing skills without design experience.
Whether your stack is Cisco-heavy, cloud-forward, or vendor-mixed, we find network engineers who can adapt to it and improve it.
| Focus Area | Skills Required | Typical Use Cases |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise Design | BGP, OSPF, HA planning, multi-site routing | Uptime SLAs, disaster recovery, vendor consolidation |
| Security Focus | Firewall config, segmentation, VPNs | Zero Trust access, hybrid access control, compliance |
| SMB Networks | Cabling, wireless, remote access | Office setups, retail expansions, contractor access |
| Remote Access Optimization | VPN tunnels, SSL certs, BYOD security | Distributed teams, vendor access controls |
| Monitoring & IR | SolarWinds, Wireshark, alert tuning | Root cause detection, MTTR reduction, live traffic analysis |
| Compliance-Aware Design | ISO, HIPAA, PCI network rules | Regulated orgs, network audit readiness |

Good network engineers fix things. Great engineers prevent them from going sideways in the first place. We screen for the latter.
That’s why our clients stay and why our hires do too.
Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, Ubiquiti, Fortinet, and others. We assess how candidates handle these cross-vendor realities and if they can adapt configurations and recognize platform limitations.
Absolutely. This is one of the strongest use cases for contract recruiting.
Yes. We look for past experience documenting topology, submitting changes under governance, and maintaining team handoff continuity.
We can ask candidates to walk us through actual outage responses, tradeoff decisions, and network-level changes they've completed.
Contract placements often start in 2-3 weeks. Full-time depends on complexity, region, and clearance requirements.
Your business depends on stable, secure systems. We help you protect that, from your infrastructure up. That’s our STACK.
