As a network engineer at NN Group, you are responsible for delivering a reliable and secure network for all our customers and colleagues. In the upcoming years, you will help us transform our network to enable our colleagues in the build of their products and services by delivering a frictionless customer experience. That is why we are looking for a network engineer with a strong customer mindset and enthusiasm for automation and infrastructure as code. Are you up for the challenge? 😊

What you are going to do

The Network Foundation Team is responsible for a large part of the NN network, including datacenters, offices, and the wide area network. As a network engineer within this team, you will have the opportunity to work with a lot of different products and technologies. This means you could, for example, work with firewalls and load balancers on one day, and the next day focus on software-defined networking or monitoring. Because we build most of these network services in-house, you will be responsible for delivering a complete solution to our internal customers. In the upcoming years, we will focus more and more on the delivery and integration of these network services into our standard platforms and engineering experience. This will mean you, as a network engineer, will increasingly need to develop and show your skills in network automation, infrastructure as code, and API development.

In the transformation of our network services and your daily work, you are always aware that NN is a financial services company. Therefore, your main priority is to deliver a network that is available 24/7 and secure. You understand the necessity of change procedures, compliance questions, and security requirements to ensure the reliability and security of our network. You are not afraid of tackling these challenges and are able to find creative solutions by, for example, explaining the impact of a change to our internal customers, translating compliance rules to our network solutions, or automating repetitive tasks.

We work with the Agile methodology, which means that our teams have a lot of autonomy but also take on their own responsibility. This means that the team is also responsible for the way of working and cooperation between engineers. That is why you also need great soft skills and the ability to coach and guide team dynamics and teamwork.

Your responsibilities:

• Build, deliver and partially maintain the datacenter, office & WAN services in scope of the Network Foundation Team
• Take a pro-active role in organizing the way-of-working and cooperation within the team
• Understand and actively promote the customer focus in the products and services we deliver
• Take ownership of the availability, security and compliance aspects in the delivery of our products and services
• Perform on-call/standby duties

What we offer you
NN invests in an inclusive, inspiring work environment and in skills and competences for the future. We match this with employee benefits that are in line with what is needed today and in the future. This way, we offer our employees the opportunity to get the best out of themselves. We offer you:

• Salary between €4,414 and €6,306 (based on 40h) depending on your knowledge and experience
• 13th month and holiday allowance are paid with your monthly salary
• 27 vacation days for a 5-day working week and one Diversity Day
• A modern pension administered by BeFrank
• Plenty of training and learning opportunities
• NS Business Card 2nd class, which gives you unlimited travel, also privately. Do you prefer to travel with your own transport? Then you can declare the kilometers travelled
• Allowances for setting up your home office and for internet use

Who you are

In your work, you work in a structured way with a pro-active mindset. You are able to both work independently and collaboratively in a team environment. You have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Furthermore, you have:

• At least five years of work experience in a network environment and having certifications such as CCNP or equivalent are preferred
• Experience with: Datacenter routing and switching, SD-WAN and Office networks and network security (Firewalls, proxies, load balancers, IPS/IDS, DDoS protection, DNS, etc.)
• Experience with VMware NSX is a plus
• Understand automation (Ansible), scripting (Python, Go) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform)
• Good communication, motivating and coaching skills

Who you will work with

Our Network Foundation team currently consists of 9 network engineers and 1 product owner. The team is mainly located in The Netherlands and our office location is in The Hague. You will have the opportunity to work from home most days, but are able to come to the office at least once a week (preferably on Wednesday). You will have flexibility in your office hours, but are also available to perform a change or be on-call outside of office hours if needed.

We are an international company and the team consists of a diverse group of nationalities and cultures. You will also work with colleagues in our Digital Hub in Prague (Czech Republic) who are part of the team that does the operations and maintenance of our network. You are open to travel to this location (or other locations in Europe) if needed for your work.

There is no relocation budget available for this role and we are looking for someone currently living in The Netherlands.
