[Hiring] Network Data Annotation & Infrastructure Specialist @24-MAG

Role Description

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for professionals experienced in network engineering, infrastructure logs, telemetry review, network configuration analysis, anomaly identification, and structured technical data annotation workflows. This role supports current and upcoming remote consulting opportunities focused on structured network data review, infrastructure event analysis, telemetry classification, configuration assessment, data labeling, and high-quality project execution. Selected professionals will apply their network engineering expertise to review realistic infrastructure data, identify patterns and anomalies, prepare structured annotations, and support accurate, evidence-based network data workflows.

Key Responsibilities

• Network Data Review & Annotation
  • Review network-related data such as logs, configurations, telemetry, event streams, alerts, and time-series metrics.
  • Label and classify network behaviors, issues, anomalies, system states, and infrastructure events based on provided guidelines.
  • Support structured annotation workflows for large-scale network and infrastructure datasets.
  • Identify recurring patterns, unusual behaviors, missing context, and expected classification outcomes.
• Infrastructure Configuration & Event Analysis
  • Review enterprise network scenarios involving switches, access points, firewalls, routing behavior, connectivity issues, and configuration states.
  • Interpret logs, events, metrics, and configuration details to support accurate technical classification.
  • Evaluate network data against source materials, expected behavior, and documented infrastructure rules.
  • Prepare clear written explanations for network observations, classifications, and technical decisions.
• Data Pipeline & Schema Support
  • Support schema definition and structured data organization for network telemetry and infrastructure data workflows.
  • Review how raw infrastructure data is categorized, normalized, and prepared for downstream technical use.
  • Collaborate through structured review processes involving network events, data pipelines, and annotation standards.
  • Maintain accuracy, consistency, and professional judgment across submitted work.

Qualifications

• Experience working as a network engineer, infrastructure engineer, network operations specialist, systems engineer, or related technical professional.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise networks, including switches, access points, firewalls, routing, wireless infrastructure, or network monitoring.
• Comfort interpreting logs, events, telemetry, alerts, configurations, and time-series metrics.
• Strong ability to identify network behaviors, operational issues, anomalies, and infrastructure patterns.
• Interest in structured data workflows, annotation, data pipelines, or autonomous infrastructure systems.
• Clear written communication skills and ability to explain technical reasoning clearly.

Educational Background

• A degree or professional background in network engineering, computer science, information technology, systems engineering, cybersecurity, telecommunications, or a related technical field is helpful.
• Equivalent practical experience in network operations, enterprise networking, infrastructure support, telemetry review, or technical annotation work is also highly relevant.

Nice to Have

• Experience with enterprise networking environments, NOC workflows, observability tools, cloud networking, or infrastructure monitoring.
• Familiarity with Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Meraki, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Ubiquiti, Aruba, or similar networking technologies.
• Experience with logs, metrics, event streams, schema definition, data labeling, or annotation workflows.
• Familiarity with data pipelines, machine learning input preparation, or technical dataset review.
• Ability to work accurately across sustained review workflows requiring careful attention to detail.

Why This Opportunity

• Apply network engineering expertise to structured remote data annotation and infrastructure review work.
• Contribute to high-quality network telemetry classification, log review, and technical data organization.
• Work on flexible, project-based assignments aligned with your networking background.
• Use your infrastructure judgment in a focused, detail-oriented technical environment.
• Remote structure with competitive hourly compensation.

Contract Details

• Independent contractor role.
• Fully remote with flexible scheduling.
• Part-time or extended weekly commitment depending on project availability.
• Competitive rates between $55–$80 per hour depending on expertise.
• Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise.
• Projects may be extended, shortened, or adjusted depending on scope and performance.
• Work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
