What impact can you make in this role?

The AVP/VP, Network Engineer is responsible for the design, engineering, and delivery of network infrastructure across all GIC data centres and office sites globally. This hands-on technical role owns the architecture and build of Data Centre, Campus, and WAN/SD-WAN networks across a multi-vendor estate, and applies network automation to improve consistency, scalability, and delivery velocity. The role partners closely with Network Operations, Security, and other infrastructure engineering teams to translate business and technical requirements into resilient, secure, and standardised network solutions.

This is an individual-contributor technical role. In addition to deep hands-on engineering across Data Centre Networks, Campus Networks (wired and wireless), and SD-WAN, the role engages vendors and product principals to drive feature enhancements and influence product roadmaps, and requires the ability to develop, read and make edits to automation code (Ansible), backed by sound knowledge of financial-sector security and compliance requirements.

What will you do as an AVP/VP, Network Automation and Reliability Engineer?

Network Engineering & Solution Design Leadership

Lead the design and engineering of network solutions across Data Centre, Campus, and WAN/SD-WAN domains, ensuring scalability, resilience, security, and performance.

Produce high-quality low-level and high-level designs (HLDs/LLDs), standards, and reference architectures aligned to financial-industry best practices.

Act as the technical authority and design-approval reviewer for network changes and new builds, ensuring engineering rigour and adherence to architectural standards.

Partner with Network Operations, Security, and other infrastructure engineering teams to translate requirements into deployable, well-documented solutions.

Core Engineering Responsibilities

Data Centre Networks

Design, build, and evolve data centre fabrics using EVPN/VXLAN, Cisco ACI, and modern spine-leaf architectures across a multi-vendor estate (e.g., Cisco, Arista, Juniper).

Engineer multi-tenancy, segmentation, and high-availability designs, including integration with load balancers (e.g., F5 LTM/GTM) and L4-L7 services.

Define oversubscription, capacity, and failure-domain strategies to support trading and critical workloads.

Campus Networks

Engineer enterprise campus LAN and wireless solutions (routing, switching, Wi-Fi6/7 with a managed controller ecosystem) using standardised, templated designs across sites of varying size.

Implement access security and segmentation (802.1X, NAC, zoning) in collaboration with Security teams.

Ensure resilient, performant designs for corporate connectivity.

SD-WAN, WAN & Secure Connectivity

Design and deliver SD-WAN and WAN solutions, including overlay transport, application-aware routing, secure connectivity, and cloud on-ramp, using leading platforms (e.g., Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN/Viptela, Fortinet, Versa, VMware VeloCloud, or equivalent).

Embed Zero Trust and SASE principles into WAN and remote-access designs (e.g., Zscaler ZIA/ZPA, Prisma Access, or equivalent).

Lead WAN modernisation and migration efforts (e.g., MPLS to SD-WAN) with structured, low-risk transition plans.

Engineer secure interconnectivity between data centres, campus sites, and cloud providers.

Network Automation (Ansible)

Develop new, read, interpret, and make edits to existing Ansible playbooks, roles, and Jinja2 templates to support network provisioning, configuration management, and compliance.

Maintain and extend standardised configuration templates, and use automated validation within delivery workflows.

Apply automation to drive configuration consistency, support drift detection, and reduce manual TOIL across the network estate.

(Preferred) Familiarity with adjacent automation/IaC tooling - Python scripting, Terraform, Y
