Overview

We’re looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer (NetDevOps) to design and deliver large-scale enterprise network infrastructure across hybrid and cloud environments.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building, automating, and improving modern network platforms—not operations or pure SRE work. You’ll work closely with Architecture, Cloud, and Engineering teams to deliver secure, scalable, and highly available solutions.

Key Responsibilities

* Design and deliver enterprise network infrastructure (on-prem, hybrid, cloud)

* Build secure network traffic flows and high-availability services

* Implement hybrid connectivity across Azure, AWS, or OCI

* Manage Palo Alto firewall policies in line with Zero Trust principles

* Work with routing, segmentation, VXLAN/EVPN, and load balancing (F5)

* Develop network automation using Python, Ansible, and IaC (Terraform)

* Use Git and CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab) for automation and delivery

* Collaborate with architecture and platform teams on solution design

Essential Skills

* Strong enterprise networking (BGP, OSPF, complex routing environments)

* Hands-on Palo Alto firewall experience

* VXLAN/EVPN, VRF segmentation, multi-site networks

* Experience with at least one cloud platform (Azure/AWS/OCI)

* Network automation (Python, Ansible, IaC)

* CI/CD and Git-based workflow

Experience Required

* Senior-level Network / Infrastructure Engineer background

* Proven delivery of engineered solutions (not just operations/support)

* Experience in large-scale or regulated environments

* Active SC Clearance

Nice to Have

* SD-WAN

* Aruba ClearPass / Central

* F5 BIG-IP

* Experience modernising legacy networks

Note

Not suitable for candidates focused purely on operations, incident management, or SRE-only roles. This is a true engineering-focused NetDevOps position
