At Confluence, we've always been driven by a commitment to innovation, precision, and partnership in the investment data space. Our global footprint now spans multiple countries, giving our employees the opportunity to get exposure to other countries and cultures. And it stands to reason that none of this would have been possible without the hundreds of hard‑working employees who work at Confluence.

This is a senior, hands‑on networking opportunity where you'll own enterprise infrastructure end‑to‑end - from initial design through implementation and into steady‑state operations. Working closely with infrastructure and business stakeholders, you'll deliver complex network solutions while ensuring they are scalable, secure, and fully embedded into ongoing support. This role exists to strengthen internal expertise and reduce reliance on external vendors, placing you at the center of critical infrastructure transformation initiatives.

• Work hands‑on with modern Cisco technologies, including SD‑WAN transformation
• Drive real impact by building internal capability and reducing vendor reliance
• Gain exposure to enterprise‑scale, multi‑site environments and cross‑functional initiatives

Based in a major tech hub (e.g., Toronto, US, or Ireland), this is an attractive opportunity for candidates looking to work on modern Cisco technologies and SD‑WAN transformation within an enterprise‑scale environment. You'll gain exposure to cross‑functional initiatives, cloud‑integrated infrastructure, and projects with real business impact—ideal for those ready to step into a visible, high‑impact engineering role with long‑term growth.
