This role ensures optimized connectivity and segmentation across enterprise and regulated environments, supporting business, cybersecurity, and compliance objectives.\nKey responsibilities include network architecture planning, segmentation for sensitive environments such as the Card Data Environment (CDE), subnet design, and management of switching, routing, VLANs, and firewalls. The Network Engineer collaborates closely with Cybersecurity, Platform Architecture, and Project teams to support connectivity, network readiness, and implementation of best practice frameworks. While not part of Security Operations or Audit & Risk functions, this role provides technical support during network-related incidents, assists in troubleshooting and recovery, and supplies information for audits when required.\nKey Responsibilities\n1) Network Architecture & Planning\nDesign and implement enterprise network infrastructure encompassing LAN, WAN, VPN, wireless, and data center connectivity.\nPlan and execute segmentation for critical systems, including Card Data Environment (CDE), database and application networks, corporate and guest access networks. \nEnsure network segmentation aligns with security requirements and regulatory frameworks (PCI-DSS, SOC 2, RMiT).\nPerform network subnet design and planning, maintaining proper IP address allocation and documentation.\nPossess authority to allocate and manage project subnets, including preparing network addressing schemes for new implementations.\nMaintain and regularly update comprehensive network architecture diagrams, reflecting physical and logical topologies across the organization. \n2) Network Operations & Management\nManage and administer switching, routing, and VLAN configurations, including wireless subnet assignments and access segmentation.\nMaintain network device configurations following baseline standards and approved change management processes.\nCollaborate in managing firewalls, primarily supporting policy reviews, configuration updates, and network routing integration.\nConduct network performance monitoring, bandwidth optimization, and error resolution to ensure high availability.\nSupport operational readiness for initiatives such as SASE, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA), and Network Data Loss Prevention (DLP) deployments.\nEnsure all network changes are documented, reviewed, and aligned with infrastructure and cybersecurity standards. \n3) Incident Response & Troubleshooting\nServe as the first escalation point for diagnosing and resolving network-related issues.\nParticipate in incident response activities concerning connectivity failures, latency, or security-related network disruptions.\nPerform root cause analysis for network incidents and document corrective measures to prevent recurrence.\nSupport service restoration and contribute to post-incident reviews from a network engineering perspective. \n4) Collaboration & Governance Support\nCollaborate with the Cybersecurity Lead, Infrastructure, and Project teams on architecture validation, security-aligned network design, and secure system integration, while supporting the SOC on shared firewall operations and network log requests when required.\nProvide information related to network architecture, subnets, and configurations to audit or compliance teams upon request.\nMinimal engagement in risk management or compliance tracking beyond necessary information provision. \nRequired Skills and Qualifications:\nMust-Have:\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Network Engineering, or equivalent experience.\n2-3 years of experience in enterprise network design, implementation, and operations.\nStrong technical knowledge and hands-on experience in switching and routing (BGP, OSPF, VLAN, MPLS, STP). \nExperience with firewall platforms such as Fortinet or similar technologies.\nHands-on experience with VPN and secure remote access technologies.\nSolid understanding of network subnetting, IP addressing (IPAM), and VLAN management.\nExperience in wireless network configuration including SSID setup and VLAN association.\nProficiency in network diagramming tools such as Visio, Lucidchart, or Draw.io. • Basic certifications such as CompTIA Network+, Security+, or CCNA (or equivalent knowledge).\nStrong analytical and troubleshooting skills in network environments.\nGood documentation and communication skills. \nNice-to-Have:\nUnderstanding of PCI-DSS, SOC 2, and RMiT requirements relating to network segmentation and data protection.\nExperience with Ansible, Python, or Terraform for network automation and configuration management.\nHands-on experience with network monitoring and analysis tools such as Wireshark, SolarWinds, or NetFlow.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4847,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":2,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial
