You’ll bring your expertise as a skilled Data Centre Network Engineer to design, implement, manage, and support the networking infrastructure that underpins our data centres. You’ll possess a strong knowledge of enterprise networking technologies, particularly Cisco ACI and Cisco SD-WAN, ensuring our networks are secure, scalable, and high-performing.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, deploy, and maintain scalable, secure, and highly available network infrastructure across Arm’s global data centres.
  • Diagnose and resolve complex network issues across multiple platforms, performing root-cause analysis and driving long-term solutions.
  • Monitor and optimize network performance to enhance reliability, efficiency, and user experience.
  • Automate and innovate network configuration and management using tools such as Ansible, Terraform, Python, and APIs to improve consistency and reduce manual effort.
  • Collaborate effectively with cloud, systems, and security teams to build cohesive, high-performing infrastructure that delivers business value.
  • Document and share knowledge by maintaining clear design standards, configurations, and procedures, while contributing to team learning through coaching and mentoring.
  • Stay curious and informed about emerging technologies and trends in data centre and enterprise networking to improve our environment continuously.
  • Contribute to global support coverage by participating in a 24/7 on-call rotation, responding to network incidents in a calm and solution-focused manner.

Required Skills and Experience:

  • A highly motivated, dedicated and honest individual with good interpersonal skills and an inclusive approach.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) – ideally the Data Centre or Enterprise specialized.
  • 3+ years’ hands-on experience working within data centre networking environments.
  • Strong expertise with Cisco ACI, including design, deployment, and support.
  • Solid foundation of network security, firewalls, and standard methodologies for segmentation.

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

  • Familiarity with open network operating systems such as SONiC, or a strong interest in learning and working with open networking technologies.
  • Experience with software-defined networking (SDN) architectures and services, with an understanding of how they enhance agility, scalability, and automation.
  • Exposure to hybrid or multi-cloud networking across platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or enthusiasm to develop these skills.
  • Understanding of high-performance computing (HPC) networking concepts and technologies, particularly in large-scale or research environments.

In Return:

We offer an outstanding opportunity to join Arm at a time of growth and development. You will join an engaging, innovative, and diverse team within an encouraging and supportive environment, crafted to foster development and nurture success.
