Senior Network Engineer
Morae Global Corporation is seeking a highly technical, hands-on Senior Network Engineer to own and manage the switching, routing, and firewall infrastructure across six global data centres. This critical 24/7/365 high-availability role underpins Morae’s eDiscovery hosting platform and on-premises hosting revenue.
About the Role
You will be instrumental in the Data Centre Modernisation Programme, replacing outdated core Cisco routers and switches with new Cisco Nexus 9300, Catalyst 9200, and Catalyst 8300 platforms. The ideal candidate will excel in diagnosing and resolving complex network issues independently, with proven expertise in troubleshooting enterprise-grade Cisco networks—preferential over certifications alone.
Key Responsibilities
Network Operations & Troubleshooting
- Act as the primary technical authority for data centre networking (switches, routers, firewalls).
- Independently resolve complex outages, performance degradations, and connectivity issues across six global data centres.
- Conduct root-cause analysis and produce detailed post-incident reports with remediation actions.
- Proactively monitor network health using SNMP, syslog, Cisco FMC, and enterprise tools to prevent service disruptions.
- Maintain and execute daily routing/switching/firewall runbooks.
Data Centre Network Refresh Programme
- Lead design, configuration, testing, and deployment of new Cisco Nexus 9300/9200/8300 infrastructure.
- Develop cutover plans, runbooks, and rollback procedures for site refreshes.
- Ensure seamless migration with zero/minimal downtime.
