Key Tasks you will be involved in

Network Infrastructure Operations

• Manage and support enterprise network infrastructure (routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers) in 24x7 production environments.
• Install, configure, and maintain network hardware/software; manage user access, permissions, and authentication systems.
• Ensure high availability, resilience, and performance; perform routine health checks, monitoring, and capacity planning.

Cloud & Hybrid Connectivity (AWS)

• Design, implement, and manage connectivity between on-premise data centres and AWS cloud environments.
• Support AWS VPC architecture, VPN (Site-to-Site / Client), and Direct Connect integration.
• Troubleshoot hybrid connectivity issues across cloud and on-premises, coordinating with telecom providers.

Network Security & Compliance

• Configure and manage firewalls, security groups, NACLs, network segmentation, and zoning.
• Implement security best practices aligned with IM8/government standards and PCI DSS where applicable.
• Work with SecOps on vulnerability remediation, hardening, and incident response.

Monitoring, Performance & Optimisation

• Monitor network performance using SolarWinds, PRTG, CloudWatch, or equivalent.
• Analyse traffic patterns, latency, and throughput; identify and resolve bottlenecks.

Incident Management & Troubleshooting

• Investigate and resolve outages, connectivity, latency, and packet loss issues with cloud teams, telcos, and contractors.
• Participate in major incident management and root cause analysis (RCA).

Deployment & Change Management

• Implement network changes following CAB processes; support deployments requiring network updates.
• Perform validation and rollback planning for changes.

External Connectivity & Vendor Coordination

• Manage connectivity with external partners, payment gateways, and telecom providers.
• Coordinate vendor provisioning, troubleshooting, and performance optimisation; monitor connectivity post-provisioning.

Resilience, DR & Business Continuity

• Design and support network redundancy, failover mechanisms, and DR configurations.
• Participate in DR exercises and validate failover readiness.

Documentation & Continuous Improvement

• Maintain network diagrams, configurations, SOPs, and runbooks.
• Recommend improvements for performance, security, and scalability.

Operational Support

• Provide after-hours support for incidents, maintenance, firmware/software updates, and critical network changes.
