This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Network Engineer in Germany.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building and evolving modern network infrastructure through automation and DevOps practices. You will work across data center, on-premises, and edge environments, treating network configurations as code to ensure scalability and reliability. The role offers the opportunity to operate in a complex, regulated environment where engineering excellence directly impacts security and performance. You will collaborate closely with cloud, security, and product teams to deliver resilient and auditable connectivity. With a strong emphasis on automation, CI/CD pipelines, and observability, this position is ideal for someone who thrives on improving systems through smart, scalable solutions.

• Design, implement, and maintain enterprise network infrastructure across multiple environments (data center, on-premises, edge)
• Develop and manage Network-as-Code solutions using tools like Terraform, Ansible, or Python
• Build and operate CI/CD pipelines for network changes, ensuring automation, validation, and rollback capabilities
• Manage firewall systems, including lifecycle automation, rule validation, and optimization
• Ensure secure and reliable connectivity between cloud platforms and internal infrastructure
• Implement security best practices such as segmentation, Zero Trust, and perimeter protection
• Monitor network performance using observability tools, and lead incident response and post-incident analysis
• Support compliance, audit readiness, and change management processes in regulated environments
• Collaborate cross-functionally with cloud, security, and product teams to align infrastructure with business needs

Requirements:

• 3–5 years of experience in enterprise networking across data center, on-premises, and edge environments
• Strong expertise in automation and Network-as-Code using Terraform, Ansible, Python, or similar tools
• Experience managing CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure changes, including testing and rollback strategies
• Solid knowledge of firewall technologies (e.g., FortiGate, Palo Alto) and rule lifecycle management
• Understanding of routing, interconnectivity, and cloud networking concepts
• Familiarity with security frameworks such as Zero Trust, network segmentation, and access control
• Experience with monitoring, alerting, and network observability tools (e.g., NetFlow)
• Ability to work in regulated environments with compliance and audit requirements
• Strong documentation, communication, and collaboration skills
• Fluency in English; additional European languages are a plus

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation package and flexible contract options
• Fully remote work environment within Europe or the UK
• Strong focus on automation and modern engineering practices
• Opportunities for continuous learning, certifications, and career growth
• Collaborative, cross-functional team environment
• Exposure to complex, large-scale infrastructure projects
• Supportive culture that values innovation, ownership, and technical excellence
