## Description

Referment is working with an investment and technology organisation seeking a Network Reliability Engineer for a hands-on infrastructure engineering role.

You will join a cross-platform systems team responsible for the reliability and continuing improvement of a complex production environment spanning Linux and Windows systems, business applications, high-performance networks and storage infrastructure.

The remit combines operational ownership with engineering projects: resolving difficult incidents, improving observability, automating repetitive work and making changes safely.
The Role

 * Operate and engineer production network infrastructure with a focus on stability, reliability and safe change.
 * Diagnose unfamiliar, high-impact technical problems under pressure with high attention to detail.
 * Administer network, monitoring and security platforms across a cross-platform environment, with a focus on Palo Alto, Fortinet and Cisco ASA.
 * Develop automation using industry-standard frameworks to remove manual work, improve efficiency and manage configuration as code.
 * Implement and maintain Zero Trust architecture and secure access solutions such as Zscaler (ZIA/ZPA), Cisco ISE or FortiNAC.
 * Make network health measurable through effective metrics, monitoring and diagnostic tooling including Splunk, SolarWinds and Zabbix.
 * Contribute to broader infrastructure engineering projects, including cloud-native networking and hybrid connectivity.
