Take on a high-impact engineering role at the heart of secure digital connectivity. As a Network Engineer (DNS & Proxy), youwill design, build and evolve the critical name-resolution and secure web access services that connect users, applications, data centres and cloud platforms. You will solve complex availability, performance and security challenges, codify infrastructure, automate operations and explore practical network AI mechanisms that make services more proactive, resilient and efficient.

• What You Will Do
• Operate and continuously improve production DNS, DNSSEC, protective DNS and secure web proxy services as an in-house capability.
• Perform hands-on troubleshooting, incident response, change implementation, lifecycle management, backup, recovery and root-cause analysis.
• Engineer DNS zones, records, delegations, forwarding, caching, split-horizon DNS, access controls, DNSSEC signing and proxy policies.
• Build and maintain automation scripts, playbooks, pipelines and reusable modules using Python, PowerShell, Ansible, Terraform, REST APIs or equivalent tools.
• Codify infrastructure, configurations and policies using Infrastructure as Code, configuration-as-code, Git and CI/CD workflows.
• Analyse DNS queries, proxy logs and threat intelligence to detect malicious domains, tunnelling, command-and-control traffic and policy violations.
• Integrate DNS and proxy services with identity, firewall, cloud, monitoring, SIEM, ITSM and threat-intelligence platforms.
• Explore practical network AI and AIOps use cases for anomaly detection, event correlation, predictive analysis, troubleshooting and governed remediation.
• Work with vendors and partners where required while retaining internal technical ownership, operational control and accountability for production outcomes.

Requirements

• At least five years of relevant experience in enterprise network, infrastructure or security engineering, with substantial hands-on responsibility for production DNS and proxy services.
• Deep knowledge of authoritative and recursive DNS, zone delegation, record lifecycle management, forwarding, caching, split-horizon DNS, DNSSEC, encrypted DNS and systematic troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise DDI platforms covering DNS, DHCP and IP address management; experience with Infoblox, Bluecoat or an equivalent platform is advantageous.
• Strong experience operating enterprise proxy or secure web gateway platforms, including access controls,URL filtering, authentication, TLS inspection, certificate management, bypass policies and log analysis.
• Sound knowledge of protective DNS, response policy zones, domain reputation, DNS logging, query analytics and DNS-based threat detection.
• Strong understanding of TCP/IP, IPv4 and IPv6, HTTP/HTTPS, TLS, routing, NAT, firewalls, load balancing, Anycast and common application traffic flows.
• Proficiency in Python or PowerShell,REST APIs and automation tools such as Ansible or Terraform, with practical exposure to Git, CI/CD, automated testing and configuration management.
• Experience with monitoring,telemetry, observability, log analytics, SIEM or event-correlation platforms,and the ability to turn operational data into action.
• An interest in AI-enabled network operations, with the discipline to validate recommendations, protect operational data and retain appropriate human oversight over productionchanges.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the confidence to work through ambiguity and resolve difficult multi-layer or multi-vendor problems.
• Clear written and verbal communication, technical documentation, stakeholder-engagement and vendor-management skills.

You will shape the critical DNS and proxy services that keep digital experiences secure, fast and dependable. You will solve complex,high-impact engineering challenges, gain end-to-end ownership and work across networking, cloud, cybersecurity and applications. The role gives you space to codify infrastructure, build automation and explore practical AI-enabled operations—developing future-ready skills while turning emerging ideas into resilient production capabilities that deliver visible, meaningful impact.
