Network Engineer - #2170296

I’m currently recruiting for an experienced Network Engineer to take ownership of my clinents hybrid network infrastructure, driving performance, resilience, security, and continuous improvement across a global technology environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a technically strong, hands-on network professional who enjoys working across cloud and on-premises infrastructure, modern network security, automation, and enterprise connectivity.

The successful candidate will play a key role in maintaining and evolving business-critical systems, working closely with international IT, DevOps, product teams, and external technology partners.

You will take responsibility for network architecture, engineering, operations, and security across a hybrid environment incorporating AWS, Microsoft Azure, and on-premises infrastructure.

The role offers the opportunity to influence network strategy, introduce automation, improve monitoring and observability, and help deliver secure, scalable, and highly available services.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and maintain secure enterprise networking across on-premises, Azure, AWS, and Cloudflare environments, including edge security, traffic management, and application delivery.
• Manage cloud and network infrastructure using Terraform and infrastructure-as-code best practices.
• Deploy, configure, and optimise SD-WAN, SSE, and SASE technologies across global locations.
• Administer and maintain firewalls, VPNs, switching, routing, DNS, load balancing, and application delivery services.
• Develop network observability capabilities using metrics, logs, flow data, synthetic monitoring, and intelligent alerting.
• Lead network incident response, including troubleshooting, service restoration, stakeholder communication, root cause analysis, and preventative measures.
• Design and test resilient network services, including redundancy, failover, disaster recovery, and capacity planning.
• Plan and implement controlled network changes, maintaining accurate configurations, architecture diagrams, procedures, and audit trails.
• Automate network operations and configuration validation using APIs, Python, PowerShell, and other relevant tools.
• Manage network security and technology lifecycles, including secure configurations, firmware updates, vulnerability remediation, and technology obsolescence.
• Collaborate with international technology teams and manage technical escalations involving network and security suppliers.

Skills and Experience:

• Strong hands-on experience with Palo Alto, Arista, and Ubiquiti networking hardware and management platforms.
• Expertise in cloud-based network security and application delivery, including WAF, DDoS protection, load balancing, and traffic management solutions such as Cloudflare.
• Practical experience managing network infrastructure using Terraform, including reusable modules, remote state, change reviews, and configuration-drift management.
• Strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, firewall policies, VLANs, and network segmentation.
• Proven experience implementing and managing SD-WAN solutions.
• Working knowledge of SSE/SASE and zero-trust security platforms, such as Netskope, Zscaler, or Prisma Access.
• Experience with AWS and/or Azure networking, including VPCs, VNets, transit gateways, peering, and VPN connectivity.
• Knowledge of network security controls and compliance frameworks, including ISO 27001, NIST, and CIS.
• Experience supporting business-critical or 24/7 operational environments with defined availability and service-level objectives.
• Familiarity with network monitoring, observability, logging, and alerting tools such as Grafana, AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor, NetFlow, or equivalent platforms.
• Experience working with telecommunications providers, cloud vendors, and managed service partners.
• Strong communication, documentation, problem-solving, and stakeholder management skills.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Technical ownership: Take responsibility for a complex hybrid network environment and contribute to its ongoing development.
• Global collaboration: Work with distributed technology teams across multiple international locations.
• Modern technologies: Develop your expertise across cloud networking, infrastructure-as-code, SD-WAN, SASE, and network security.
• Continuous improvement: Influence automation, observability, resilience, and operational best practices.
• Business-critical impact: Help ensure the availability, performance, and security of systems that support essential business operations.
