Summary
Core routing network engineer needed for a six-month contract, remote with Westbridge-based engagement, inside IR35. You will design, build and migrate core Layer 3 network services - site core routing, WAN replacement, hosting interconnects, PoP build-outs and multicast - within a major corporate programme.
Full Job Description
A major corporate programme requires experienced core routing engineers to own the delivery of wide-area networking, hosting, PoP and site core infrastructure. This six-month contract, engaged inside IR35 with remote working and some Westbridge-based engagement, is focused on the design, build and migration of core Layer 3 network services.
The work will span site core routing, WAN replacement, hosting interconnects, PoP build-outs and multicast, delivered across a range of site environments and technology stacks. This is delivery-focused work: you will execute routing and switching changes at speed, using both manual change processes and automated methods, so familiarity with automation-driven network change will stand you in good stead. The programme is running at scale across multiple locations, so you should be comfortable moving between different site environments.
You will need to balance engineering quality with programme timescales, ensuring that changes are delivered safely, tested and documented. You will partner closely with the automation and tooling function, the security workstream, and the platform and identity teams, so strong communication and the ability to coordinate technical delivery across workstreams are essential.
If you have deep experience of core routing and switching in complex, multi-site environments and can deliver at pace within a demanding programme, we would like to hear from you.
Requirements:
- Deep hands-on experience with Layer 3 core routing and switching
- Experience delivering WAN replacement and migration projects
- Experience with PoP build-outs and hosting interconnect design
- Strong knowledge of site core routing and multicast
- Ability to execute routing and switching changes quickly across multiple sites
- Familiarity with both manual and automated change delivery methods
- Strong collaboration skills across automation, security, platform and identity teams
