About the role
What will you do at United States Cold Storage, Inc.?
Network Engineer
Design and Operate the Networks That Move the Nation’s Food Supply
Who We Are:
United States Cold Storage owns and operates one of the most complex
temperature-controlled logistics networks in North America. Every day, our
systems coordinate the storage and movement of food at national scale across a
network of state-of-the-art distribution centers, including multiple highly
automated warehouse facilities.
We continue to advance our core warehouse and logistics platforms. Our current
focus is on modular, event-driven, API-first and cloud architectures. We
continue to enhance reliability and accelerate engineering productivity by
strengthening our SRE and AI practices. This is a large investment in innovation
to continue to drive operational excellence at our facilities.
If you want to build durable systems that operate in the physical world at
scale, this is that opportunity.
The Role
The Network Engineer is a senior technical contributor within the IT
Infrastructure team, responsible for designing, operating, and evolving the
enterprise network that supports US Cold’s facilities, cloud platforms, and
hybrid environments.
This role bridges traditional enterprise networking and modern cloud
connectivity. You will work closely with the Network Infrastructure Manager
while operating with significant autonomy as a technical authority.
Your work directly impacts application reliability, warehouse automation, cloud
expansion, and secure connectivity across the business.
This is not a ticket‑driven role. It is an ownership role.
What You Will Own:
* Design and implementation of enterprise LAN, WAN, and wireless
networks across facilities and corporate environments.
* Hybrid networking architecture supporting Azure cloud connectivity and
Cloud‑to‑SD‑WAN integration.
* Firewall policy design and enforcement, including FortiGate platforms and
Azure NSGs.
* Network segmentation, VPNs, and secure connectivity patterns aligned with
security and compliance requirements.
* Final escalation ownership for complex network incidents, including root
cause analysis and remediation plans.
* Collaboration with systems, DevOps, and cloud teams to support containerized
and microservices‑based workloads.
* Mentorship of junior engineers and reinforcement of standard operating
procedures.
* Ongoing modernization of network architecture to support cloud expansion and
application evolution.
This role is foundational. The reliability and scalability of the network you
design and operate directly affects every system built on top of it.
Technical Environment:
* Enterprise LAN, WAN, and wireless networks
* Fortinet, Juniper, and Aruba networking platforms
* FortiGate next‑generation firewalls
* Azure networking (VNets, NSGs, hybrid connectivity)
* SD‑WAN and hybrid cloud networking patterns
* Packet analysis and monitoring using tools such as Wireshark and PRTG
* Integration with container platforms and modern application architectures
What We’re Looking For:
* 7+ years of enterprise network engineering experience, including time
operating as a senior or lead engineer.
* Deep, hands‑on expertise with TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, and
spanning‑tree‑based networks.
* Proven experience designing and operating secure, highly available network
environments.
* Strong firewall administration experience, including rulesets, NAT, and
site‑to‑site VPNs.
* Advanced troubleshooting skills, including packet capture analysis and
performance diagnostics.
* Ability to clearly communicate technical risks, tradeoffs, and
recommendations to leadership.
* CCNP (Enterprise or Data Center) or CCIE.
* Cloud networking certifications (Azure Network Engineer Associate or
equivalent).
* Experience with SD‑WAN and modern data center architectures (e.g.,
leaf‑spine).
Why This Role Is Different:
This is not a maintenance‑only network role.
This is not a narrow device‑configuration position.
You will:
* Operate networks that directly support national food supply operations.
* Influence how cloud, application, and automation platforms are connected.
* Work in environments where downtime has physical and financial consequences.
* Help modernize long‑lived infrastructure without disrupting the business.
* Be trusted as a technical authority, not just an implementer.
This is an opportunity to build durable, resilient networking inside
a company modernizing its core technology platform.
* Networks span warehouse facilities, corporate environments, and cloud
platforms.
* Systems operate continuously across multiple regions.
* Reliability and security are non‑negotiable.
* On‑site interaction with operational environments occurs as required.
Compensation
& Structure:
* Salary Range: $120,000.00 - $150,000.00/yr.
* Location: Hybrid, Camden, NJ
* Travel: Less than 10%
* Reports to: Director, IT Operations
Operational Context:
This role is primarily technical and office-based, with occasional interaction
in operational environments depending on system needs.
