Right to Work

## Description

We are looking for a Network & Security Engineer to join our team. Our solutions range from our own national optical transport network and in-house developed, fully automated 'Connectivity Core' IP services delivery platform to managed networking and security solutions for our customers. You will interact with our customers to design, deliver and manage custom-built solutions over these core networks.
Security is an important part of those customer solutions. Fortinet is our primary platform for managed firewall and security services, but we value the underlying networking and security knowledge more than experience with one specific vendor. If your experience comes from Palo Alto, Cisco, Sophos or another serious enterprise security platform, we are interested in what you know and can help you learn our technology stack.
You will still work across a broad networking landscape. Depending on the solution, this can include routing and switching, firewalls, VPNs and segmentation, SD-WAN and SASE, as well as integration with our own IP and optical networks.
Responsibilities:
You'll start the day with a stand-up call where, after a quick chat with the team, we take turns to talk about our upcoming day's activity. Depending on your day this could be one or more of the following;
Join our Service Implementation Team in delivering custom-built customer network and security solutions
Collaborate with our product team and keep our managed networking and security portfolio fresh and up-to-date with new (add-on) services
Engage with our sales and pre-sales teams and visit customers in the design phase where complex network or security solutions are required
Make sure you (or anyone else) are not doing repetitive tasks and talk to our automation team to streamline process
Work together with the support team to resolve more complex customer changes or incidents involving networking, firewalls and security, and provide mentoring and guidance to that team
Coach and mentor colleagues within and beyond the networking team by sharing your unique perspective and expertise
