We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Infrastructure Network Engineer to join a dynamic IT infrastructure team. My client works across multiple sectors to include Health, Energy, Finance, and Energy. As a key contributor, you will play a vital role in implementing and managing WAN solutions and network migration tasks across both physical and cloud platforms. This role offers an exciting opportunity to work with cutting-edge technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• WAN Solutions Implementation: Hands-on implementation of Wide Area Network (WAN) solutions, managing network migration tasks on both physical and cloud-based platforms (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud).
• Cloud Networking: Manage and configure cloud-based virtual networks on platforms such as Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, ensuring efficient integration and management of resources.
• Networking Technologies: Configure, support, and troubleshoot WAN technologies, including but not limited to: OSPF/IS-IS, BGP for dynamic routing, GRE, IPSEC for VPN tunnels, Quality of Service (QoS), Multicasting, Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity, WAN acceleration and optimization techniques.
• IP and Subnetting: Deep knowledge of TCP/IP networking, including subnetting, addressing schemes, and routing protocols.
• Cloud Automation (Terraform): Develop and manage Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions using Terraform for cloud infrastructure deployments, scaling, and management.
• Network Services Management: Oversee the deployment and support of network services, including but not limited to DHCP, DNS, IPAM, and IP-based network configurations.
• Virtual Server Technologies: Experience managing virtual server environments, supporting infrastructure related to virtualization platforms such as VMware, Hyper-V, or equivalent.
• Storage Technologies: Administer and manage Storage Area Network (SAN) and Network-Attached Storage (NAS) technologies.
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless network infrastructure deployment, security compliance, and scalability.

Key Skills and Qualifications:

• Networking Protocols: In-depth knowledge of networking protocols and technologies, including OSPF/IS-IS, BGP, GRE, IPSEC, VPNs, QoS, Multicasting, and Layer 2/Layer 3 connectivity.
• Cloud Networking: Proven experience managing virtual networks in Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud environments.
• Hands-On Implementation: Demonstrated experience in hands-on configuration, troubleshooting, and migration of WAN and cloud-based solutions.
• Networking Fundamentals: Strong expertise in TCP/IP, subnetting, routing, and switching.
• Cloud Infrastructure: Proficiency in Terraform for infrastructure automation and management of cloud resources.
• Virtualization and Storage: Experience in managing virtual server technologies (VMware, Hyper-V, etc.) and storage technologies (SAN, NAS).
• Certifications: Relevant certifications in networking (e.g., Cisco CCNP, Juniper JNCIP, or equivalent), cloud certifications (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud), and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform) are desirable.
• Problem Solving: Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills in complex network environments.
• Communication Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to work effectively with internal teams and external vendors.

You will need to have a good level of skills with Palo Alto + Meraki and some experience with Terraform (If no Terraform experience, ideally Bash or Python / Puppet). Good Network infrastructure experience needed. Any cloud experience is a nice to have, but not essential - Azure is preferred.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with network automation tools and scripts.
• Knowledge of SD-WAN technologies and their implementation.
• Familiarity with network monitoring tools (e.g., SolarWinds, Nagios, etc.).
• Experience in a multi-cloud environment with hybrid infrastructure solutions.

This is a hybrid role with 2 days a week on-site. Interview slots available, apply now to be considered.
