    Our client has been an established name within their niche sector in the Financial Services space for over 40 years. With their head office in London, global offices and circa 800 employees in the business, they are a truly global and recognized brand. Excitingly they're going through a huge program of change and development.

    They are looking for a seasoned Network Architect (Azure-focused).

Currently, the network is managed by 2 external vendors and 3 permanent network engineers. The role reports directly to the Enterprise Architect.

    Our client is looking for someone who has the strategic experience to drive their network architecture and also someone who comes from a hands-on background so they can articulate the roadmap to the Network Engineers in the team.

    What they are looking for:

    • Azure experience is a must Microsoft Front Door, Azure Load Balances, Azure NSGs, etc.
    • Branch network, firewalls, switches, routers, load balances, VPNs.
    • Experience with either Cloudflare or Palo Alto: they are investing heavily in Cloudflare.
    • CCNA/CCNP/AZ700 certs.
    • F5 would be useful but not essential.

    This role would be suitable for both seasoned contractors who are looking for a 6-month gig or a permanent employee who is happy to start on an initial 6-month contract.
