Experience working in a WISP / ISP environment
Solid CLI experience with Mikrotik (RouterOS) and Cisco (IOS/NX-OS)
Strong understanding of:

TCP/IP, subnetting, VLANs, QoS
Routing protocols (OSPF, BGP)

Experience with RF planning and wireless link design (PTP/PTMP)
Advanced troubleshooting skills (packet capture, spectrum analysis)

Nice to Have

Aruba certifications (ACMA, ACMP, ACDP)
Experience with multi-site or large-scale deployments

Role Structure

Combination of project-based implementation + L3 escalations
Some client-facing interaction during deployments and issue resolution
Includes on-call responsibility for network incidents

Fast and effective resolution of complex network issues
Stable ISP infrastructure with strong uptime
Ability to operate independently and own technical outcomes

View company profile

The story of Pavago begins with a common entrepreneurial frustration. Its founders, Parker Cox and Ahmed Raza Ali, were running their own businesses and, like many others, found themselves grappling with the high costs and often underwhelming results of their digital marketing efforts. Determined to find a more efficient path to growth, they turned their sights to the global talent market. This decision to look offshore proved to be a pivotal moment. Within just three months of making their first offshore hire, they witnessed a remarkable 40% reduction in their Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). This initial success was just the beginning of a transformative journey.

Encouraged by these results, they continued to build their offshore team, and within six months, they had expanded to seven team members. This strategic move not only drove down their operational labor costs by 22% but also led to significant increases across all their critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). As they shared their success story with fellow business owners, they discovered a widespread need for what they had built. A waitlist of entrepreneurs quickly formed, all asking the same question: 'Can you help us scale our team the same way?' This overwhelming demand was the spark that ignited Pavago. The founders realized they had a key to unlock a competitive advantage for small and medium-sized businesses – democratizing access to incredible offshore talent. Today, Pavago stands as a comprehensive, all-in-one service partner for businesses looking to scale efficiently. They handle the entire process, from talent acquisition and onboarding to payroll management and compliance, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growth while leveraging a global team of top-tier professionals.
