Senior Network Engineer

An employee-owned company where people are our why. 

We are a technology company passionate about leaving our customers and our people better off for having interacted with us. It is who we are and what we do. We create competitive differences for our customers, transforming some of New Zealand’s largest enterprises through innovative solutions, and grow our people while we are at it. 

To support an exciting new phase of growth as we evolve into a full-service technology provider, Inde Technology are looking for a Senior Network Engineer to join our team in Christchurch.

About the role

As Senior Network Engineer, you'll use your expertise and the knowledge of the team to deliver industry-leading network solutions to our customers. This will involve taking on projects that will stretch you to develop your technical skills, leveraging the power of modern networking technologies such as ZTNA, SASE and Cloud Networking along with traditional routing, switching and Wi-Fi to create solutions that make a real difference.

We keep our systems simple and agile so that we are not constrained by processes and procedures. Rather than offering "out-of-the-box" solutions, you'll have the autonomy to use a customer-focused, cross-team approach to ensure we deliver the best possible solution to address the customer’s key problems.

Key responsibilities:

  • Engage directly with diverse enterprise clients, translating their visions and operational needs into technical realities
  • Design and present innovative network solutions that push the boundaries of what's possible
  • Implement industry-leading solutions, leveraging both your expertise and the collective knowledge of our team
  • Mentor and grow team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation

Learning forms an essential part of your week, so you’ll be expected to engage in regular, ongoing training. We invest heavily in upskilling our people by funding training, exams, and any resources needed to gain new certifications.

Perks and benefits

  • A share of the profits each quarter.
  • Enjoy Southern Cross health insurance, wellbeing initiatives, additional leave.
  • Flexible Work Environment. Thrive in a supportive and collaborative setting.
  • Growth and Development. Benefit from our commitment to technical leadership, innovation, and continuous learning.
  • Regular team celebrations and social events. We value connection and collaboration.

Skills and experience

We are seeking a resilient, proactive individual who thrives on fostering innovation and embracing change, who is hungry to make a difference, and humble in their approach. 

Our team is primarily focused on the delivery of customer outcomes with a smaller focus of providing ongoing support. We expect our team members to have strong technical delivery experience but must also be able to step in and assist our customers to troubleshoot and fix complex networking problems.

The technical skills and capabilities we’re looking for are as diverse as our customers are, however, some of the skills include:

  • ZTNA/SASE/SSE (Netskope, Cloudflare, Prisma, Fortinet)
  • Cloud Networking (Azure, AWS)
  • Wireless (Juniper Mist, Aruba and Fortinet, cloud-based wireless management platforms)
  • Switching (Juniper, Aruba, Meraki, Fortinet, Cisco)
  • Routing (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP) 
  • Firewalling (Palo Alto, Meraki, Fortinet)
  • SD-WAN (Palo Alto, Aruba, Fortinet)
  • Access control platforms (Aruba ClearPass, Cisco ISE)
  • Automation (Cloud management platforms, scripting and execution environments, consuming REST APIs)

 

Working with a diverse range of customers and industries, non-technical skills are also of great importance to us. We look for people with:

  • An ability to understand and articulate complex technical solutions to a diverse audience.
  • A strategic and innovative mindset, promoting positive change.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and an ability to build & maintain lasting relationships with customers. 
  • Previous experience in a professional services environment is highly desirable.
  • An ability to quickly assess client challenges and propose solutions. Proactive in identifying potential issues and offering innovative solutions.
  • A passion for technology and a sound knowledge of trends within the IT industry.
  • A start with yes attitude and the tenacity to overcome any obstacle.
