Ready to take the next step in your career?
Join a managed connectivity provider purpose-built for complex, global, multi-carrier enterprise environments, combining vendor-agnostic network design with practitioner-led project management. Every project is staffed by experienced network practitioners who stay accountable from design through to operations, because the focus is on execution rather than technology.
Applications are open for a Network Operations Engineer to take ownership of live network services while building towards a network engineering role. The ideal candidate will work across Juniper infrastructure, carrier interconnections, and managed network services, with opportunities to support new SD-WAN and network observability deployments. The role covers troubleshooting, provisioning, customer support, and occasional field deployments, alongside hands-on projects, equipment evaluation, and new service roll-outs.
