Your mission

At Telio, we build technology that reconnects people.
Our systems enable hundreds of thousands of inmates to stay connected with their families and loved ones. We believe correctional facilities should not only serve as punishment, but also as an opportunity for rehabilitation and a second chance. Through secure communication technology, digital services, and modern software platforms, we elevate the professional and human standards of correctional institutions and other regulated environments (e.g., clinics and state institutions).
This is a mission-critical internal product environment where reliability, security, and engineering excellence directly impact real lives.
As a Senior Network Engineer, you will take end‑to‑end responsibility for designing, operating, and continuously improving complex on‑premise, cloud, and Kubernetes network environments. You’ll act as a technical authority in network operations, drive stability and modernization, and collaborate closely with international platform, cloud, and security teams.
This role combines hands‑on engineering, architecture‑level thinking, and operational ownership in a modern hybrid infrastructure.
