PLEASE NOTE - The nature of this project will require the work to be carried out onsite and successful candidates will be required to be security cleared (SC Level) prior to appointment.

You'll be just as comfortable building and supporting production LANs as you are working with global WANs. You'll be able to take an application's specific requirements and turn them into the right firewall rules. You like getting hands-on with new technologies in a lab or POC, but you're also happy in the CLI and know how to keep things running smoothly.

You'll work with modern technology in an environment that uses it in smart, innovative ways, and you'll be ready to learn Secure by Design approaches within a National Security and Defence setting.

Essential skills include:
- Implementing and supporting WAN architecture
- routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP, VPNs and network security platforms like IKEv2 and next gen firewalls.
- You'll also write clear configuration guides and deliver builds from both high level and low level designs.

Desirable experience includes data centre networking with spine leaf fabrics, EVPN, BGP and Geneve, working with high assurance IP encryptors, using automation and orchestration tools like Ansible or Terraform, exposure to whitebox networking such as Mellanox, Cumulus Linux or Nvidia, supporting and troubleshooting NSX, and CCNP or equivalent experience.
