The Role

Are you a networking genius with 10 years of experience supporting and enhancing networks and infrastructure?

If you can show us you're bang up to date and hungry for a new challenge in our new data centre get ready to support us with this exciting project and help develop a high performance network.

You will be able to forge new relationships quickly and win the trust and respect of the team. You'll work hand-in-hand with these internal teams to design, build, optimise and initially maintain robust and secure networking systems, supporting our core business services.

This is your chance to step into a role where strategy meets action, where your impact is seen (and felt) across the business. You won't just be networking -- you'll be influencing, collaborating, and elevating the entire customer journey.

The Responsibilities

Design, deploy and maintain datacentre networking infrastructure, including layer 2 and layer 3 topologies. Manage and optimize MPLS and VPLS networks, including configuring edge and core routers. Provision and manage cross-connects between infrastructure providers and peering partners. Configure and administer firewalls, including rules, VPNs, HA, and traffic shaping. Manage enterprise switching environments, specifically: Mellanox switches for high-throughput and low-latency workloads. Meraki switches for cloud-managed network segments. Collaborate with systems and platform teams to support scalable and fault-tolerant deployments. Ensure high levels of network security, redundancy, and compliance. Create documentation of network topology, configuration standards, and troubleshooting procedures. Assist with migrations, incident response, and performance tuning across hybrid networking environments.

Skills required

Proven experience in datacentre networking environments. Hands-on experience with MPLS, VPLS, and cross-connects. Strong knowledge of routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, etc.) and traffic engineering. Proficiency in configuring and troubleshooting firewalls. Expertise with Mellanox and Meraki switching platforms. Solid grasp of VLAN segmentation, link aggregation, and QoS strategies. Familiarity with infrastructure automation tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform) is advantageous.
Bonus Qualifications

Experience with software-defined storage platforms (e.g. Cloudian, QuantaStor). Knowledge of hybrid cloud networking (including AWS Direct Connect, Azure ExpressRoute). Certifications such as CCNP, JNCIS, or equivalents.
