Network Architect | Juniper & Fortinet
A hands-on Network Architect role where Juniper and Fortinet meet complex, business-critical infrastructure.
Our partner is an international technology organisation operating critical digital infrastructure. As part of the continued development of their infrastructure environment, they are looking for a Network Architect to join a highly skilled and collaborative technical team.
This is not a purely conceptual architecture role. You will move between architecture, design, implementation and production support, working with modern networking technologies and having a direct impact on the resilience and evolution of the infrastructure.
Your playground? Juniper, Fortinet, BGP, DNS, security and distributed infrastructure.
Network Architect - The Role
- Design and evolve network architectures across complex and distributed production environments, from high-level concepts to low-level technical designs.
- Work hands-on with Juniper networking and Fortinet security technologies, including routing, switching, firewalls and network segmentation.
- Contribute to BGP, DNS/DNSSEC, high-availability and distributed infrastructure, with a strong focus on resilience and security.
- Drive improvements around automation, monitoring and observability, using technologies such as Ansible, Terraform, Python, Prometheus or Grafana.
- Collaborate with Infrastructure, Security, Architecture and Software Engineering teams, while challenging and validating technical solutions delivered by external partners.
- Maintain architecture documentation, diagrams and technical standards, while supporting troubleshooting, lifecycle management and production environments.
Network Architect - The Profile
- 7+ years of experience in network, infrastructure or systems engineering, with strong exposure to critical production environments.
- Strong expertise in networking, including TCP/IP, routing, switching and protocols such as BGP and OSPF.
- Solid hands-on experience with Juniper and Fortinet — this is a key part of the role.
- Good understanding of Linux, DNS/DNSSEC, firewalls and high-availability/distributed infrastructure.
- Exposure to virtualisation, containers, private cloud or Infrastructure as Code (VMware, Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible, Terraform, etc.) is a strong plus.
- Analytical, pragmatic and hands-on mindset, with the ability to move from architecture and design to implementation and production troubleshooting. Fluent English is required.
