Job description

I’m currently partnering with a tier-one global financial services firm looking for a Principal Network & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer. This is a highly strategic and hands-on role where you will drive the evolution of their enterprise network and cloud ecosystems across the region.

You won't just be maintaining legacy systems - you’ll be partnering with architecture teams to build out technology roadmaps, automate cloud infrastructure, and establish governance frameworks for regional deployment.

The Role:

• Infrastructure Design & Delivery: Lead the deployment and management of highly available enterprise networks (LAN/WAN) and modern, virtualized data center environments.
• Cloud & Automation: Design and configure scalable cloud services, utilizing APIs to build custom automation and integrate cloud platforms with core enterprise systems.
• Strategic Architecture: Work closely with enterprise architects to translate business requirements into scalable design patterns, technical roadmaps, and budgeting plans.
• SME Escalation & Mentorship: Act as the ultimate L3 Subject Matter Expert for complex, in-flight infrastructure projects, ensuring robust handover to production and upskilling L1/L2 operational teams.
• Governance & Security: Champion IT security standards, enforce strict compliance/patching policies, and drive continuous improvement across hardware and software lifecycles.

What You Bring:

• Extensive engineering background managing complex campus networks and data centers (core routing/switching, firewalls, load balancing, and network access control).
• Deep expertise in cloud environment management, API-driven automation, and security guidelines.
• Strong grasp of ITSM/ITIL frameworks with a focus on incident/change management and proactive problem resolution.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, capable of bridging the gap between highly technical teams and non-IT business users.
• Readiness to act as an escalation point for global, distributed operations when critical issues arise.
