Apply for the Wide Area Network Support Engineer
Location: Hyde Park Corner
Job Description:

We’re looking for a Network Engineer to help build and run a high-performance global WAN that underpins critical, latency-sensitive systems. You’ll join a small engineering group responsible for keeping complex routing infrastructure fast, stable, and predictable at scale.

This role suits someone who likes owning production networks end-to-end and digging deep into routing behaviour when things don’t look right.

Responsibilities:

  • Running and improving a geographically distributed WAN with demanding uptime and performance targets
  • Designing and supporting networks built on MPLS
  • Operating routing services across multiple BGP families in production
  • Deploying and maintaining multicast capabilities, including MVPN
  • Investigating forwarding paths, label stacks, and traffic behaviour across the network
  • Supporting IP services and traffic flows across multiple sites
  • Writing and maintaining clear design documentation and operational guides
  • Working closely with other engineers and operations teams to deliver projects and support live systems
  • Taking ownership of complex incidents that require detailed technical analysis

Requirements

  • Hands-on experience operating MPLS-based networks in production
  • Strong knowledge of BGP (including EVPN and VPNv4)
  • Solid understanding of MPLS forwarding, label distribution, and traffic flow
  • Familiarity with at least one major routing platform such as Arista or Cisco
  • A track record of diagnosing non-trivial routing and forwarding issues
  • Strong fundamentals in TCP/IP, QoS, and traffic engineering
  • Experience working in environments where reliability and correctness matter
  • Network automation or tooling experience (e.g. Python)
