About the Company: Our client is a global leader in application security, protecting enterprise-scale web platforms from real-world threats. With innovation at its core, they operate across on-premise and cloud environments to proactively defend digital infrastructure for some of the world’s most security-conscious organisations.
About the Role: This is a foundational role within the Infrastructure & Cloud team. As the business merges its cloud and traditional infrastructure functions into one high-performing unit, you’ll play a key role in maintaining on-prem infrastructure while building out AWS-native services. You’ll support core networking systems, firewalls, VPNs, and gradually shift toward Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC), automation, and platform reliability engineering.
You’ll work with experienced infrastructure engineers and collaborate with cloud specialists—sharing responsibilities as the teams merge and their architecture evolves. Expect roughly 80% of your time in BAU networking/support and 20% on design and forward-looking solutions, with that balance shifting as cloud adoption matures.
Core Responsibilities: - Maintain and support hybrid infrastructure across on-prem and AWS.
- Lead and troubleshoot routing, switching, firewalls, VPNs, and F5 APM.
- Contribute to AWS infrastructure provisioning and VPC/networking setups.
- Design automation pipelines using tools like Terraform and Ansible.
- Collaborate on Infrastructure-as-Code initiatives and platform observability.
- Assist with on-call duties (1–2 calls/week, mostly outside hours).
- Provide infrastructure services for internal teams (e.g., ASCs) to operate securely.
What We're Looking For: - 5+ years in infrastructure/network engineering or equivalent experience.
- Strong understanding of network protocols (Layers 1–7) and routing.
- Hands-on experience with AWS networking (VPC, ELB, CloudWatch).
- Comfortable with Linux, MacOS environments and hybrid stacks.
- Familiarity with tools like MikroTik, F5 BIG-IP/APM, VyOS, ESXi.
- Knowledge of automation and IaC (Terraform, Ansible, scripting). (not req)
- Strong troubleshooting skills and a proactive, curious mindset.
Ideal Background: - Prior experience at ISPs, telcos, large-scale infrastructure, or product-based tech companies.
- Someone who thrives in a fast-moving, security-conscious environment and is ready to grow into a cloud-first architecture world.
- Someone with strong Networking and Infrastructure experience, ideally with experience to cloud tech
Why Work Here? - Join a high-autonomy, low-ego team solving real security problems.
- Opportunity to lead infrastructure design, not just operate it.
- Direct impact on cloud transformation initiatives.
- Flexible remote working from Auckland (preferred for on-call proximity).
- Culture of continuous learning, growth, and collaboration.
- Exposure to AWS, IaC, and modern DevOps/SRE practices.
- Attend security forums, industry events, and professional development opportunities.
