About The Position

This is a senior network engineering post in a complex, multi-domain environment where the services on top are mission-critical and the change window is never generous. It is more than incident work: the role contributes to how the service evolves, implements change with the risk understood, and owns the standard operating procedures other engineers follow. A distinctive part of the job is exercises — designing, configuring and maintaining the routing infrastructure for exercise scenarios and operations, which is where the theory meets a deadline.

Requirements

A bachelor's degree in a related discipline with two years of related experience — or, exceptionally, at least eight years of extensive and progressive expertise in the duties of the post.
At least eight years in complex network engineering roles.
Design, implementation and support of scalable enterprise networks using BGP, MPLS, IPv6, OSPF, IS-IS, IP multicast and SD-WAN.
An active CCNP certification (Enterprise or Service Provider).
Deep BGP knowledge: route reflectors, confederations, communities, path manipulation and filtering.

Responsibilities

Provide advanced level three support across complex enterprise network environments.
Lead the technical resolution of high-impact, high-severity incidents.
Analyse recurring issues in depth and put sustainable corrective actions in place.
Contribute to the design, planning and implementation of network enhancements and new projects.
Ensure technical correctness and minimal service impact during changes and deployments, in line with the change process.
Perform remote routine maintenance on routing and switching elements across sites.
Coordinate centralisation, standardisation and best practice for routing and switching.
Create and maintain the standard operating procedures.
Design, configure and maintain routing infrastructure for exercise scenarios and operations.
Coordinate on-site surveys, validation and acceptance testing into the routing infrastructure.
Keep the technical documentation accurate and share what you learn with the team.
