Ready to lead the evolution of a global hybrid network?

I'm looking for 2 Principal Network Engineers to join a high-impact team shaping secure, scalable infrastructure across on-prem and multi-cloud environments.

Want the freedom to work fully remote from anywhere in Ireland while solving high-impact challenges across cloud and on-prem infrastructure?

This is a rare chance to step into a high-trust role where your decisions shape architecture, security, and performance.

🌐 What You’ll Do

• - Lead network architecture and implementation across cloud and on-prem environments
• - Own and optimise Juniper-based routing and switching infrastructure
• - Implement and support VXLAN/EVPN overlays for scalable, multi-tenant connectivity
• - Manage and secure environments with Palo Alto firewalls
• - Work closely with DevOps, Cloud, and Security teams to drive performance and automation

🧰 Key Requirements

• - Hands-on Juniper routing and switching experience (enterprise or data centre)
• - Strong understanding of VXLAN/EVPN architecture and implementation
• - Deep experience with Palo Alto firewalls including security policy configuration
• - Background in hybrid infrastructure (cloud and on-prem networking)
• - Exposure to automation tools like Terraform or Ansible is a bonus

💬 This role offers full flexibility, true technical ownership, and the chance to build secure, scalable networks with zero micromanagement. You’ll be the go-to expert in a forward-thinking environment that values initiative, experience, and clarity of thought.
