Senior Network Engineer

Sydney | Melbourne | Hybrid Work Model | Competitive base + super + benefits

We are not your typical network team. We are technically sharp, delivery focused and trusted by some of Australia's biggest brands, and we are looking for a Senior Network Engineer to lead the migration from legacy WAN environments to Cisco SD WAN across a diverse enterprise client base. This is not a maintenance role. You will own architecture decisions, drive complex deployments end to end, and serve as the escalation point for the most challenging network problems your team encounters.
