Enterprise Support Engineer

About the Role

As an Enterprise Support Engineer, you will be the primary technical authority for NinjaOne’s largest global accounts, with a specialized focus on the intersection of RMM software and complex network infrastructure. This role requires a "Network-First" troubleshooting mindset—identifying whether a performance bottleneck stems from the application, the network, or the underlying transport layer. We are looking for an experienced veteran who can navigate high-pressure network outages and configuration hurdles with the same precision they apply to endpoint management. This role will report into the Director of North American Support with close ties to the Enterprise Sales organization.

Location: Hybrid in Austin, TX (in-office 2-3 days per week).

What You’ll Be Doing

Network Architecture & Troubleshooting

• Infrastructure Analysis: Diagnose and resolve complex networking issues affecting RMM connectivity, including DNS resolution errors, TCP/IP stack corruption, DPI and SSL inspection configuration, and persistent VPN tunnel instability.
• Security & Firewall Management: Consult with enterprise IT teams to optimize firewall rules, NAT traversal, and proxy configurations to ensure seamless, secure communication between NinjaOne agents and the cloud controller. Exposure or familiarity with Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco as well as zero trust tools like Zscaler, Check Point, Cloudflare.
• VLAN & Segmented Environments: Support customers operating within highly regulated, air-gapped, or segmented VLAN environments, ensuring patch management and monitoring tools respect internal security boundaries.
• Packet-Level Analysis: Utilize tools like Wireshark or tcpdump to perform deep packet inspection, identifying latency sources or handshake failures in multi-site enterprise WANs.
• Diagnostics & Observability: Analyze system logs, telemetry, and monitoring data to identify systemic issues across large endpoint fleets.
• Enterprise SLA Management: Support customers operating under strict SLAs and ensure timely resolution and communication during high-impact incidents.

Advanced Endpoint & Automation

• Tier 3 Escalations: Serve as the final escalation point for critical issues involving Windows, macOS, and Linux endpoints across environments with 1,000+ nodes.
• Network-Aware Scripting: Develop PowerShell or Bash scripts that automate network diagnostic tasks, such as automated trace-routes, port-querying, and bandwidth throttling for remote software deployments.

Strategic Leadership

• Network Advocacy: Act as the internal voice for network-related product improvements, working with Engineering to enhance the platform’s performance across low-bandwidth or high-latency networks.
• Socratic Mentorship: Lead technical workshops for Tier 1 and 2 teams specifically focused on "The OSI Model in Support," teaching junior techs how to systematically isolate network vs. software faults.
• Root Cause Analysis: Conduct deep technical investigations and produce clear post-incident reports outlining root cause, mitigation, and long-term remediation.
• Knowledge Development: Create internal runbooks, troubleshooting guides, and knowledge base articles to improve support efficiency. Assist in complex troubleshooting outside of Enterprise-specific customers.
• Other duties as needed.
