Job Benefits: bonus

Senior Cloud Network Engineer
Up to £65,000 + £3.5–4k Car Allowance + On-Call Uplift (£300–400/month)
Location: Primarily remote (occasional UK or global travel optional)

We’re looking for a Senior Cloud Network Engineer to join a forward-thinking infrastructure and operations team as they evolve their global network architecture.

You’ll play a key role in shaping and supporting a modern, cloud-first networking environment — focusing on project work, escalations, and maintaining the core network rather than day-to-day tickets.

• Acting as an escalation point for the global L2 NOC team
• Supporting and improving the core network environment
• Contributing to the design and rollout of a new Cato SASE-based network
• Working with AWS Cloud Networking, including Transit Gateways and Virtual FortiGate Firewalls
• Managing and optimising routing and switching (primarily Cisco and FortiGate)
• Handling BGP and other advanced networking protocols
• Helping drive the migration from legacy VPNs toward a fully live, cloud-based SASE environment (currently ~40% complete)

• Core Tech: Cisco, FortiGate, AWS, Cato SASE
• Key Protocols: BGP (most complex protocol in use)
• Cloud Focus: AWS Transit Gateways, Virtual Firewalls
• Customer Base: Global enterprise clients across the UK and EMEA

• Strong background in routing, switching, and firewall technologies
• Hands-on experience with AWS Cloud Networking (especially Transit Gateways)
• Familiarity with Virtual FortiGate Firewalls
• Solid understanding of BGP
• A proactive mindset and interest in project and escalation-level work
• Desire to grow in a cloud-first, globally distributed environment

You don’t need to be a deep expert in every area — just confident in core networking, willing to learn, and excited by modern cloud networking.

If you’re looking for a role that blends traditional networking expertise with cloud innovation, this is a great opportunity to make a real impact on a global network transformation.
