Regional Network Engineer

We are partnering with a global financial institution to hire a Regional Network Engineer to join their APAC infrastructure team. If you are tired of high-burnout environments, heavy shift work, and constant firefighting, this is the role for you. This position offers genuine work-life balance within a highly stable environment. Operating within an agile framework, you will focus on 90% Business-As-Usual (BAU) operations, supporting trading floors and corporate offices across the APAC region. What You Will Do Serve as the primary L2 escalation point for regional network operations, bridging the gap between the 24/7 L1 monitoring NOC and the L3 global architecture team. Troubleshoot and resolve critical e-trading latency issues, utilizing packet capture tools to identify network, routing, or VPN bottlenecks. Maintain and support the core regional infrastructure, focusing on routing, switching, firewalls, and load balancing. Participate in a low-volume, 1-in-4 weekly on-call standby rotation (historically averaging only 1-2 minor escalations per week). Assist the Product Owner with skeletal network design and deployment planning during rare regional office relocations or expansions.

The Tech Stack & Requirements Core Infrastructure:  Deep hands-on experience with Cisco routing/switching, Fortinet firewalls, and F5 load balancers. Exposure to Radware and Bluecoat is highly advantageous. Protocols & Troubleshooting:  Strong grasp of BGP and EIGRP. You must be highly proficient with Wireshark to analyze packet captures and trace latency issues. Experience:  Proven background in a solid L2 Network Support or Network Operations role. Experience within financial services, brokerages, or trading environments is a strong plus due to the focus on latency. Certifications:  CCNP is preferred, but proven, verifiable hands-on experience will take precedence.  (Note: All educational and professional certifications will be subject to rigorous background verification).
