Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

As the technical engineer, you will be responsible for all the networking infrastructure of both on-premises and cloud network components.

Your main day-to-day activities will include assisting the Network Team lead with the upkeep, projects, and cloud network migrations of network services.

You will also work alongside a network engineer, helping to upskill them and take on design leadership and technical delivery according to plans.

A key aspect of this role is the constant review of firewall policies and the overall infrastructure to ensure there are no potential risks or vulnerabilities that are not fully documented, evidenced, or recorded.

As the Senior Network Engineer, you will be responsible for all internal and external networks. Therefore, a strong knowledge and understanding of MPLS/VPNs, HA firewall solutions, network segregation through VLANs, and network zoning are essential.

From a monitoring perspective, we use SolarWinds and PRTG, but are transitioning towards Zabbix as the overall solution.
