Referment is partnering with a leading technology-driven investment firm to hire a Network Engineer to join its global Infrastructure team.
This is an opportunity to join a highly technical environment where networking sits at the heart of the firm's trading platform and wider technology estate. Working as part of a lean, collaborative team, you'll be responsible for designing, building, and supporting the network infrastructure that underpins a fast-paced, performance-critical business.
The role offers a broad mix of project work and operational engineering, making it ideal for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges while taking ownership of critical infrastructure.
What You'll Be Doing
- Design, implement, and support the firm's enterprise network infrastructure.
- Manage and optimise switching, routing, firewalls, VPNs, wireless networking, and core connectivity.
- Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve complex network and infrastructure issues.
- Support and improve network performance, resilience, and availability across global environments.
- Work closely with infrastructure and engineering teams on new deployments, upgrades, and technology initiatives.
- Automate operational tasks using scripting and infrastructure tooling where appropriate.
- Support Windows and Linux server environments as part of the wider infrastructure team.
- Contribute to the ongoing evolution of the firm's infrastructure architecture and operational best practices.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years' experience in Network Engineering or Infrastructure Engineering.
- Strong understanding of TCP/IP, VLANs, VPNs, DNS, DHCP, routing, switching, and enterprise networking concepts.
- Hands-on experience with Cisco networking technologies.
- Experience troubleshooting enterprise network infrastructure in a complex environment.
- Scripting or automation experience with Python, PowerShell, Bash, or similar.
- Experience supporting Windows and Linux server environments.
- A proactive, hands-on approach with a genuine interest in building and improving infrastructure.
- Previous experience within financial services, trading, or other high-availability environments would be advantageous but is not essential.
Why join?
- You'll be joining a business where technology is central to its success and engineers are given the autonomy to make a real impact. Working within a lean, highly skilled infrastructure team, you'll gain exposure to a modern technology estate, work on challenging engineering projects, and help shape the network platform that supports a global investment business.
The role is based full-time from the firm's Central London office and offers highly competitive compensation alongside the opportunity to work with some of the industry's strongest engineering talent.
