• Build and maintain SD-WAN, internet breakout, cloud connectivity, and secure remote-access solutions.
• Support enterprise voice and collaboration platforms, including SIP, unified communications, contact-centre technologies, and voice network design.

• Contribute to network architecture, capacity planning, resilience, and lifecycle-refresh projects.
• Automate repetitive operational tasks using Python, APIs, Ansible, Terraform, or similar tooling.
• Work with monitoring and observability platforms to improve visibility, alerting, and incident response.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, security, cloud, and application teams in an Agile, DevOps-led environment.
• Participate in an on-call rotation and support business-critical systems where required.

What we are looking for

• Strong enterprise networking experience across WAN, LAN, routing, switching, and firewall technologies.
• Solid knowledge of BGP, OSPF, VPNs, QoS, DNS, DHCP, and network security principles.
• Experience with SD-WAN, cloud networking, or multi-site enterprise environments.
• Exposure to enterprise voice, SIP, unified communications, or contact-centre platforms.
• A genuine interest in automation and DevOps, with skills in Python and/or infrastructure-as-code tools such as Ansible or Terraform.
• Experience with network monitoring, logging, and observability tools.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to work calmly under pressure.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Desirable experience

• Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Palo Alto, Fortinet, or equivalent technologies.
• AWS, Azure, or GCP networking.
• Cisco Meraki, Cisco Catalyst/SD-WAN, or similar platforms.
• Microsoft Teams Voice, Zoom Phone, Avaya, Genesys, or other enterprise voice platforms.
• CI/CD, Git, Linux, and container-based tooling.
• Financial services, asset management, or other regulated-environment experience.
