Senior Network Infrastructure Engineer

Be Part Of A High-Performing Team:

Join a growing IT infrastructure team supporting a highly regulated, mission-driven life sciences environment where reliable, secure, and well-documented network operations are critical to business continuity. This role sits close to core infrastructure operations and will support both day-to-day network stability and hands‑on implementation work across on‑premises and cloud‑connected environments. The team values engineers who can work independently, follow structured change and incident processes, and bring practical recommendations that improve reliability, scalability, and security.
