Why this job matters

The Emergency Services Network (ESN) is a huge critical priority for BT and our commitment to do the best for our customer and our country.

ESN will be the most advanced Emergency Services Network in the world - once again, BT/EE will be helping Britain to be a world leader in mobile.

To achieve this, the team designs for platforms with names known to the industry as SGW, PGW, DNS, Gi LAN and CGNAT Firewall (explained below), plus others.

It aligns with strategy to ensure that we build, upgrade and bring in new solutions to stay ahead of the competition.

This is a really exciting time as we are moving off traditional platforms that have served us for the past decade, onto a new cloud native core with container orchestration and advanced 5G features.
