Established in 1998 at Indiana University, the GlobalNOC's mission is to advance the future of research, education, and the public interest through the support and evolution of networks.

Why work here?

• Make a difference: Our networks are all higher education, research, and public service oriented, and we're enthusiastic about the missions of our clients. Each of us is curious and motivated to master the skills that will help our clients, our community, our world, and ourselves.
• Grow your skills and career: With the 20+ networks we operate and manage, and the size and diversity of our client networks, you won't be pigeon-holed doing just 1 thing. Taking time to investigate, read, or study new things isn't just ok, it's required and supported.
• Enjoy the life-friendly moderate cost of living of the Midwest, or work remotely. In Indiana, we have 2 locations- Do you like the intellectually stimulating environment of a university town? Bloomington might be for you. Prefer to enjoy life in the big city? We have a location in downtown Indianapolis. We also support fully remote engineers under the right circumstances, and mixes of in-office and WFH. Applicants located in Alaska would be especially welcomed (fully remote).
