Referment is working with an investment and technology organisation seeking a Network Reliability Engineer for a hands-on infrastructure engineering role.

You will join a cross-platform systems team responsible for the reliability and continuing improvement of a complex production environment spanning Linux and Windows systems, business applications, high-performance networks and storage infrastructure. The remit combines operational ownership with engineering projects: resolving difficult incidents, improving observability, automating repetitive work and making changes safely.

The Role

• Operate and engineer production network infrastructure with a focus on stability, reliability and safe change.
• Diagnose unfamiliar, high-impact technical problems under pressure.
• Administer network, monitoring and security platforms across a cross-platform environment.
• Develop automation that removes manual work, improves efficiency and manages configuration as code.
• Make network health measurable through effective metrics, monitoring, diagnostics and tracing.
• Contribute to broader infrastructure engineering projects.

What We’re Looking For

• At least five years of hands-on experience operating and engineering production networks at scale, including on-call responsibility.
• Strong fundamentals across UDP, TCP/IP, BGP and OSPF, with working knowledge of PIM and IGMP multicast technologies.
• Experience writing and maintaining automation, ideally using Python.
• Hands-on knowledge of firewall and security platforms.
• Experience with network observability, metrics, monitoring and diagnostic tooling.
• Understanding of declarative configuration management.
• A technical degree or equivalent professional experience.

This could suit a senior network engineer, network automation engineer, network-focused site reliability engineer, or infrastructure engineer who has owned large production networks.
