Job Description
Join Avaloq’s Network team in Cloud & Infrastructure Operations. You will be tasked with ensuring secure, reliable connectivity and network operations. This includes managing connections and networks between and within our data centres, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), our customers, and other related services. You will combine operational discipline with hands‑on engineering and automation. This will help improve the current setup in a regulated environment. Operational discipline includes stability, handling incidents, and hardening.
Your key tasks
* Run and operate hybrid connectivity spanning enterprise LAN/WAN, data centres and OCI—ensuring high availability, predictable performance, and robust security controls.
* Continuously improve and streamline the network platform. Standardise designs. Remove complexity. Improve endurance. Reduce operational toil. Use automation tools like Terraform and GitOps to achieve these goals.
* Handle network operations. Monitor the network. Respond to incidents. Troubleshoot issues. Manage problems. Drive root‑cause analysis. Take preventive actions.
* Collaborate with the Architecture and Sales teams to obtain scalable, secure network designs for implementation and improvement roadmaps.
* Keep operational documents high‑quality. This includes runbooks, standards, and diagrams. Make sure services are ready by following good change practices, testing methods, and giving clear handovers.
Qualifications
* Minimum 5 years of experience in network engineering. This experience must include working in complex enterprise environments.
* Skills in routing and switching, WAN and Internet connectivity, firewalls, and load balancing.
* A solid insight into hybrid‑cloud networking is required. This includes experience with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
* An Infrastructure‑as‑Code mindset. Useful experience with Terraform, whether by creating or using modules, and be familiar with Git for change control and collaboration.
* Solid fundamentals: TCP/IP, BGP, DNS, VLANs, subnetting, VPN/IPsec; deep troubleshooting skills across layers (L2–L7).
* Operational excellence while prioritising security: monitoring, managing incidents and problems, and creating clear documentation.
* Experience in enhancing endurance in regulated or high‑availability environments, like financial services.
It would be a real bonus if you have
* Certifications such as CCNP, OCI Networking (Associate or Professional), CheckPoint CCSE, FortiGate FCP, and Terraform Associate.
* Experience with SD‑WAN
How you work
* You communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders and collaborate well in cross‑functional teams.
* You are curious and pragmatic: eager to learn, but focused on delivering secure, maintainable solutions.
* You stay structured under tension and can prioritise appropriately during incidents and delivery peaks.
* Languages: fluent English; Italian and/or German are a plus.
* Shift work and/or on‑call duty apply depending on service needs.
* For regulatory reasons, Swiss residency is required.
If you enjoy operating mission‑critical networks and modernising them through automation and cloud adoption (OCI), we’d like to hear from you.
