About the job

Now Brewing – ****Senior Engineer, Corporate and Manufacturing Network Engineering #tobeapartner

From the beginning, Starbucks set out to be a different kind of company. One that not only celebrated coffee and the rich tradition, but that also brought a feeling of connection. We are known for developing extraordinary leaders who share this passion and are guided by their service to others.

Starbucks Network Engineering provides a scalable secure and highly available global network utilizing automated repeatable processes to support our partners and stores across the globe. We connect partners to our customers either on premise or in the cloud.
