Senior Network Engineer - IP Networks

Senior Network Engineer - IP Networks

Remote working

Salary - Circa £65 - 70,000 plus bonus / benefits

We're looking to bring in a senior network engineer / technical lead to work on a remote basis for an ISP. 

You'll be looking after escalated issues on the IP core network, and this is a mixed vendor environment so Cisco, Juniper, Nokia and Adtran. 

This will be an interesting and varied role with a lot of project work, so migrations & upgrades will be a big focus alongside the ongoing push for further efficiency through automation.

It's an ISP so we'll definitely be looking for someone from that service provider environment and while we are open minded as to specific qualifications, it's a routing and switching bias role so we'll be looking at an expert level of knowledge when it comes to troubleshooting issues related to MPLS, BGP, OSPF and general IP and we'd expect the SNE to have some HLD and LLD background as well - although we are not looking for an architect, more so a senior network engineer / technical lead who remains very much hands on, with some leadership and decision making responsibility. Rough numbers, 80% technical and 20% leadership. 

You'll be contributing to the resilience of the network through ongoing testing and validation and also, helping with capacity management issues linked to ongoing scalability.

We'd be expecting a minimum CCNP / JNCIP level of experience and perhaps even CCIE / JNCIE. You'll be representing the business when it comes to discussions with external vendors, such as Cisco and same goes when it comes to discussion with suppliers about wholesale or general peer to peer technical ideas. 

Normal working week, and this is a permanent role with a flexible / remote location and solid benefits package including bonus, healthcare etc.
