Technical Lead, Onboarding & Inventory, Front-End

It's magic.

Some say magic's not real. Others say it's a trick. But we know better. At Cisco Meraki, magic is created by the energy and passion of our employees, who shape our dynamic community and empower us to problem-solve for our customers. We experience magic all the time and see it unfold when something complex unexpectedly becomes intuitive, when technology works the way it was intended, or when everyone is valued for who they are. When our employees have the autonomy to make an impact, Meraki can accomplish our mission of connecting passionate people to their mission by simplifying the digital workplace.

At Cisco Meraki, we know that technology can connect us, empower us, and drive us. By simplifying powerful technology, we can free hard-working people to focus on their mission.
