Ready to level up your career?

Playtech‘s Infrastructure unit is looking for a solution-oriented and analytical Network Operations Engineer.

Your influential mission. You will...

• Help to keep the lights on – manage and provide support for networking components
• Make a real impact by maintaining firewall rules and load-balancer business logic configuration with the help of an experienced team
• Get to do the exciting stuff – participate in infrastructure-related research and development projects
• Help us build automation tools
• Fulfill on-call duty to ensure the smooth functioning of the network infrastructure at all times

Components for success. You...

• Think like an engineer – outside of the box, flexible, ready to use both existing out-of-the-box products and implement custom solutions
• Act like a Network Engineer – building and maintaining the bedrock for all the products our company offers – a sustainable and reliable network infrastructure
• Have a knowledge of local computer network theory, practices, and troubleshooting. Including design, configuration, installation, testing, and maintenance
• Already have hands-on experience with any firewall, load balancer, switch, router, or DDoS mitigation solutions. The more the better (our focus is on CheckPoint, F5, Juniper, Cisco, and Arbor)
• Succeed in challenging situations – flexible, react quickly and precise, adapt to the constantly changing business requirements, think multiple steps ahead, and able to handle several demanding tasks in parallel
• Are (or tend to be) a bit lazy – a systematic approach to problem-solving is not something unfamiliar to you and you are willing to put scripting, automation, and orchestration tools to a good use
• Have excellent verbal and written communication skills and the ability to establish a common language with different people to interact efficiently with colleagues and clients

You'll get extra points for...

• Understanding of cloud networking concepts and experience with public cloud platforms (e.g., AWS,)

Thrive in a culture that values...

• The responsibility – hundreds of our devices all around the world are running 24/7/365
• Offering unique challenges – do simple everyday work, dive deep into technical debugging sessions, fight off the latest advanced DDoS threat, or develop a solution to automate the work you don’t want to do
• Taking pride in our team and technology – hands-on work with best-of-breed vendors of network equipment: CheckPoint, F5, Juniper, Cisco, Arbor
• Variety – no day is the same
• Neat benefits & bonus system
