Job Description:
Who we are:
Meraki is a Greek word meaning "something done with soul,
creativity, or love." With this name as our mantra, we're building
a welcoming workplace that attracts eclectic, curious, purposeful
people who will help connect passionate people to their mission by
simplifying their workplace.
Build with Empathy
We're passionate about what we do and encourage each other to take
risks. We believe that we don't lose or fail; we either win or
learn. Whatever happens, we're supportive. We believe in actively
staying curious, empathetic, and collaborative because in our
experience those traits are the key to innovation.
The Power of Simplicity
We believe that when passionate people are able to spend less time
struggling with technology, they can spend more time on what
matters-like helping library patrons, providing healthcare,
teaching children, running small businesses and large corporations,
sharing art, building infrastructure, feeding the hungry and so
much more. Cisco Meraki is the leader in cloud-managed IT, thanks
to our creative, inclusive, fearless team that is driven to
simplify technology so the world can simply work.

compensation to be paid.
