Job Profile
Reporting to the UK Network Team Leader, the Network Engineer will provide installation, support, ongoing monitoring, maintenance and documentation for high performance data centre networks, firewall & security devices, as well as WAN & Campus networks and contribute to network architecture.
You will help maintain connectivity at all remote sites; deploying and configuring SDWAN and firewall devices, and support high-performance networking within the regional datacentre, in addition to delivering fault isolation and troubleshooting.
The creation and maintenance of detailed network documentation and procedures will therefore be paramount to the role.
The Network Engineer will be expected to participate in the design and implementation of the global network infrastructure and therefore travel will be required both domestically and internationally to provide support and complete installations for your internal client base.
You will proactively develop recommendations concerning equipment life cycle and replacement and assist in developing network hardware and software configuration standards, in adherence with company policies and procedures.
You must also work in collaboration with a multidiscipline team for the completion of cross-functional projects and develop strong global relationships with vendors and their technicians.
Occasional after hours/weekend work will be required and the Network Engineer will participate in an on-call rotation schedule.
Required Education and Experience:
The successful candidate will have demonstrable experience supporting a high performance, high availability network architecture, with strong knowledge of key networking protocols used in the design and operation of such networks being essential - including OSPF, BGP and VXLAN, and the use of the CLI to manage devices.
In addition, demonstrable experience supporting firewalls including policy/VPN is required.
Exposure to Linux operating systems and programming languages such as Python, and experience of using network automation platforms is highly desirable.
Exposure to QoS in a WAN environment, knowledge of SD-WAN technologies and experience supporting VoIP and video conferencing on a global network is also desirable.
Ideally you will have acquired experience in supporting multiple vendor hardware from Palo
Alto/Juniper SRX/Cisco ASA platforms, and Arista/Aruba/HP/Cisco. Knowledge of campus
LAN & WiFi networks would also be beneficial.
It is expected that the successful candidate will have strong troubleshooting skills, the ability and desire to learn new things and apply new knowledge to the current environment and a willingness to work both autonomously and using their own initiative.
You must be fluent in English and be fully conversant with technical language relating to network design and hardware, as well as have the ability to convert business requirements into workable solutions.
Fluency in any other language would be highly desirable. You must be available to travel internationally for up to 25% of the role.
