Coextro is a growing Canadian Internet Service Provider seeking an experienced, hands‑on Senior Network & Systems Engineer to take technical ownership of our network infrastructure and related systems.

This is not a narrowly defined corporate networking position supported by several specialized departments. We are a small, fast‑moving ISP, and the successful candidate will be expected to personally investigate problems, configure equipment, build and improve systems, lead technical projects, and create the documentation and operational processes needed to support our continued growth.

We are looking for someone with strong practical networking and systems experience who can begin contributing with limited technical supervision. You must be comfortable working in an environment where not every system is fully documented, not every process has been formalized, and determining how something currently works may be the first step toward improving it.

This position provides significant autonomy and the prospect to make a visible impact. You will become our senior internal technical resource for network operations, system builds, infrastructure improvements, and complex escalations. You will also provide technical guidance to our Technical Support and Field Services teams, but this remains a highly hands‑on engineering position—not solely a management or delegation role.

Key Responsibilities

Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and improve our core and distribution networks and related systems.

Take ownership of complex technical issues and carry them through investigation, resolution, and documentation.

Configure routers, switches, firewalls, servers, monitoring platforms, and other network infrastructure.

Lead system builds, network upgrades, migrations, deployments, and infrastructure improvement projects.

Identify weaknesses and opportunities to improve network stability, performance, visibility,



security, and operating costs.

Independently assess existing systems, including inherited or incompletely documented configurations.

Develop and maintain network diagrams, configuration records, operating procedures, technical standards, and troubleshooting documentation.

Create practical and repeatable processes for network operations, deployments, maintenance, and incident response.

Serve as the senior escalation point for network outages, service issues, installations, technical support issues, and deployment challenges.

Serve as the primary on‑call technical resource for network outages and other service‑affecting infrastructure issues.

Respond to network outages at our downtown Toronto data centre and at distribution network locations within the condominium buildings we service throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

Attend network sites outside regular business hours when an issue cannot be resolved remotely.
What Success Looks Like

You take ownership of technical problems without needing every step assigned or explained.

You are comfortable working independently as the senior hands‑on technical resource.

...
Required Qualifications

Significant hands‑on experience operating and supporting ISP, telecommunications, carrier, or service‑provider networks.

...
Preferred Technical Experience
Experience with several of the following would be considered an asset. We do not expect every qualified applicant to have worked with every platform listed:

Cisco Catalyst,



Small Business, and Nexus switches

Cisco ASR 1000 and ASR 9000 Series routers

PPPoE, L2TP, subscriber management, and ISP access networks

FreeRADIUS and subscriber authentication systems

ISC DHCP Server

Linux, Windows Server, and FreeBSD

Zabbix and PRTG

Sandvine ActiveLogic

Juniper NetScreen firewalls

3CX, Asterisk, and FreePBX

Ubiquiti EdgeRouters, switches, and Wi‑Fi systems

VoIP and SIP infrastructure

Fibre, Ethernet, and fixed‑access network deployments

The Person We Are Looking For
You may be a strong fit if you are naturally curious, technically resourceful, and motivated by having real ownership over an workplace. You should enjoy finding the cause of difficult problems, improving systems that are not yet perfect, and building the processes and documentation that make future operations easier.

This role is best suited to someone who wants broad technical responsibility and the ability to influence how a growing ISP operates. It is not intended for someone looking for a narrowly defined position where responsibilities are limited to following established procedures or escalating problems to another engineering department.

Why Join Coextro?

Take a senior technical role in a growing Canadian Internet Service Provider.

Have a direct and visible impact on network reliability, operations, and future growth.

Work across a broad range of networking, systems, access, monitoring, and telecommunications technologies.

Help establish the technical standards, documentation, and processes that will support the company’s next stage of development.

Work in an environment where good ideas can be proposed, implemented, and evaluated without excessive layers of approval.

Opportunities for professional growth and increasing responsibility.
