Network Engineer (Banking)

Network Engineer (Banking)

We’re currently working with a growing specialist bank in London that’s investing heavily in its technology and infrastructure teams as part of its continued expansion. They operate in a niche area of the market, supporting UK businesses with tailored financial solutions, and are building out a modern, resilient IT environment to support that growth.

This role sits within a small, hands-on network team where you’ll get exposure across the full network stack. It’s a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety and ownership, covering everything from design and implementation through to support and optimisation across firewalls, routing & switching, voice, and load balancing.

Join a business where you’ll have real ownership and visibility, rather than being a small cog in a large machine. You’ll be working across a broad and modern tech stack, with the chance to influence design decisions, get involved in projects, and help shape the future of the network environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, deliver, and support core network infrastructure across multiple environments
• Troubleshoot connectivity, performance, and security issues across the network estate
• Monitor network health and ensure high availability and reliability
• Work closely with internal teams and external partners on projects and BAU activity
• Identify opportunities to improve, automate, and optimise network operations

Key Skills & Experience

• Strong background in Cisco enterprise networking (routing, switching, and security)
• Experience working with firewalls and secure remote access solutions
• Good understanding of dynamic routing protocols (OSPF, BGP)
• Exposure to cloud or hybrid environments and network monitoring tools
• Proactive mindset with an interest in automation and continuous improvement

Nice to Have

• Financial Services experience
• Valid CCNP or CCIE certification

Location

• City of London (Hybrid 2-3 days in the office per week)

Salary

• Up to £75k basic salary per annum
• Discretionary bonus
