Meraki is a fun, vibrant, energetic place to work, but beneath our friendly face lies advanced enterprise-grade technology. Systems Engineers (SEs) are a vital team at Meraki, as they form the technical backbone of our daily sales operations. These tech-savvy characters work closely with our awesome sales reps, provide trusted support to our customers and partners around all pre-sale activities, and act as Meraki evangelists within the industry.

Do you have networking experience? Are you in love with the Meraki solution? If so, great! We’re hiring for more SEs!

Our ideal SE candidate will have a strong routing and switching background, with an early-adopter mentality toward new technology and business models. Some requirements include a college degree, experience in pre-sales or customer-facing projects, and exceptional communication skills and attention to detail.

From there, we have opportunities for two types of SEs – read on (and watch!) to see which role would fit you best.

We do require that you have 3-5 years of pre-sales (or equivalent customer-facing) experience.This role generally works remotely, and travels up to 50% to customer sites and Cisco offices. You will be a traveling Meraki guru! There are many positions open globally, including North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia – check out our jobs page for more details.
