🚀Principal Network Engineer – RemoteShape the Future of Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure 🚀

Are you ready to take the lead in shaping and securing cutting-edge hybrid cloud infrastructure?

We are on the hunt for a Principal Network Engineer who thrives in dynamic environments, takes ownership of outcomes, and excels at building scalable, secure, and highly available systems.

You’ll join a forward-thinking team embracing a hybrid multi-cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-premises ecosystem. This is your opportunity to drive modernisation, steer architecture, and be a hands-on force across infrastructure, automation, observability, and security.

🌐What You’ll Do

• Architect and build modern hosting environments from the ground up, with a focus on observability, security, and infrastructure-as-code.

• Lead infrastructure design & technical direction, mentoring and guiding junior engineers along the way.

• Take ownership of network operations, including switching, routing, firewalls, wireless, VPN, compute, and storage.

• Support and transform legacy infrastructure, migrating systems to a cloud-first, automation-driven model.

• Partner with DevOps, TechOps, InfoSec, and Engineering teams to ensure systems are resilient, scalable, and secure.

• Play a key role in disaster recovery planning, capacity management, and incident response.

• Continuously evaluate and adopt new technologies that drive business value and operational efficiency.

What You Bring

• 10+ years in enterprise-level system/network design and support.

• Deep expertise in cloud networking (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and hybrid environments.

• Proven, hands-on experience with:

  • Palo Alto firewalls and Panorama – not just basic familiarity, but recent, applied experience across real-world deployments. Looking for depth in areas such as security policies, threat prevention, and traffic segmentation.
  • VXLAN and EVPN – you’ve worked extensively with these technologies in production, understand the design patterns, and can troubleshoot and scale them in complex environments.
  • Juniper switching and routing
  • OSPF, BGP
  • Enterprise Wi-Fi, NAC, VPNs, and RADIUS/LDAP auth
  • Linux/Windows, Infrastructure-as-Code (Ansible, Terraform), and scripting (Python, PowerShell, Bash)
  • • Strong leadership, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • • A proactive mindset with a bias for action, always looking to improve performance, security, and resilience.

✅Bonus Points

• Certifications: PCNSE, JNCIP/JNCIE, AWS/Azure certs, CCSP, ITIL

• Experience with monitoring, forensic investigation tools, and configuration management (Chef, Puppet, Ansible)

• Familiarity with agile or DevSecOps environments

💡Why This Role?

• Hands-on, high-impact: You're not just designing—you’re building, mentoring, and evolving the infrastructure.

• Forward-looking tech stack: Embrace modern cloud, automation, and network security technologies.

• Hybrid flexibility: Work in a collaborative, adaptable environment that values innovation and ownership.

• Lead the change: Help drive the transformation from legacy to modern platforms across global infrastructure.

If you're a technical leader who thrives on challenge, complexity, and continuous improvement—we want to hear from you.

👉Apply now and help us build the resilient, secure, and scalable infrastructure of tomorrow.
