About the role

We’re hiring a Senior Network Engineer to join our Infrastructure Services team. This is a hands‑on role with real ownership, focused on keeping a complex hybrid network stable, secure, and continuously improving.

You’ll work across enterprise and IoT networking, spanning on‑prem, cloud, and edge environments. Alongside day‑to‑day engineering and operations, you’ll play a key role in modernising how the network is built, observed, and operated through automation and AI‑assisted workflows.

This is not a “keep the lights on” role only. You will be expected to improve how things work, not just maintain them.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, deploy, and support enterprise and IoT network infrastructure across on‑prem, cloud, and edge environments.
• Configure and operate Fortinet firewalls, Cisco Meraki SD‑WAN, and secure VPN connectivity across multiple countries.
• Build and maintain Azure networking components including vWAN, VNets, ExpressRoute, NSGs, and VPN Gateways.
• Own secure connectivity for IoT endpoints, including 4G/5G modems, SIM provisioning, IMEI/IMSI tracking, and APN design.
• Automate network provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management using Python, REST APIs, Terraform, or Ansible.
• Apply or learn AI‑assisted automation and workflow orchestration, including AI MCP, to improve operational efficiency and predict issues before they happen.
• Implement and operate network monitoring and observability platforms to ensure performance, visibility, and rapid fault detection.
• Work in Agile mini‑squads, contributing to sprint planning, delivery, and continuous improvement using Jira and Confluence.
• Collaborate closely with security, infrastructure, and application teams to ensure reliable and secure connectivity end‑to‑end.
• Maintain clear, version‑controlled documentation, network diagrams, and change records.
• Contribute to roadmap planning, network modernisation, and efficiency programmes.

What We're Looking For

Networking & Connectivity

• Strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs, routing, and switching.
• Proven experience designing, securing, and troubleshooting complex networks.
• Comfortable working with Linux and Windows Server networking stacks.
• Experience with wireless and cellular technologies such as Wi‑Fi and 4G/5G.

IoT & Edge Networking

• Experience with IoT protocols including MQTT, HTTP/HTTPS, CoAP, or AMQP.
• Solid understanding of cellular connectivity, SIM lifecycle management, IMEI/IMSI, and public vs private APNs.
• Experience integrating IoT gateways and devices securely into enterprise networks.

Cloud & Platforms

• Hands‑on experience with Azure networking, and exposure to AWS is a plus.
• Familiarity with data and visualisation platforms such as Grafana, InfluxDB, or Power BI.
• Comfortable working with APIs and message‑based systems.

Security

• Strong grounding in network security, firewall rule design, and threat mitigation.
• Understanding of security standards such as ISO 27001 and OWASP IoT Top 10.

Automation & Engineering Mindset

• Ability to script and automate using Python, Bash, or PowerShell.
• Experience or interest in Infrastructure as Code and Git‑based workflows.
• Curiosity and willingness to adopt AI‑assisted operations and AIOps approaches.

Delivery & Ways of Working

• Experience working in Agile teams with sprint‑based delivery.
• Comfortable managing work through Jira, Confluence, and version control.
• Able to balance operational stability with long‑term improvement.

What’s In It For You?

Out‑of‑home Advertising is a well‑established medium undergoing a digital revolution, and one we believe we are uniquely positioned to capture.

You will be at the front‑of‑the‑journey, working with your peers to lead the way.

As part of this you will get to grow and learn by working with the latest tech, joining with innovative partners, and working with great colleagues on a day‑to‑day basis.

The package will also include:

• Hybrid working model with regular office presence to build team culture and relationships.
• 25 paid holidays
• Company Pension Scheme paid up to 8%
• Healthcare Cash Plan
• Life Insurance and group income protection scheme
• Cycle to work scheme
• Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Cover
