NOC Engineer

About the Job

We are seeking a Production Operations Analyst II to support a fast-paced Network Operations Center (NOC) environment. This position is responsible for monitoring business-critical technology services and serving as the initial point of contact for suspected large-scale incidents.

Issues may be identified through phone calls, email, in-person reports, instant messaging, or alerts generated by monitoring tools. The Production Operations Analyst II will quickly triage and document each incident before either taking an approved corrective action or escalating it according to established NOC procedures. Critical incidents must be identified and escalated within 15 minutes to minimize business impact.

This position also includes Team Lead responsibilities, providing day-to-day guidance and mentorship to NOC Analyst I team members and serving as the team's primary escalation point.

How You'll Contribute

The Production Operations Analyst II will monitor IT networks, systems, applications, and infrastructure within a highly SLA-driven environment. This position requires the ability to understand telemetry and monitoring alerts, correlate alarms with potential service impacts, and rapidly escalate significant incidents.

For lower-impact incidents, established procedures may allow the analyst to perform initial troubleshooting or corrective actions directly. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as this role requires clear, timely, and accurate reporting throughout the incident-management process.

Schedule and On-Site Requirements

This hybrid position begins with 30 days of on-site training in Zionsville, Indiana, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ET.

Following training, the schedule will include three required in-office days and two remote days each week.

• First shift: 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. ET with a one-hour lunch
• Required in-office days: Tuesday through Thursday
• Remaining scheduled days: Remote
• Weekly schedule may include one weekend day and four weekdays
• Occasional Monday or Friday on-site attendance may be required for major company events or team meetings, not to exceed two weeks per month

On-site attendance Tuesday through Thursday is mandatory because critical monitoring services are housed within the Zionsville NOC. The NOC also serves as an interactive technical resource where employees and IT teams can report suspected outages, collaborate on troubleshooting, and review the overall health of the organization's technology environment.
