The team

The team manages the full IT infrastructure hosted in Equinix Data Centres in Frankfurt and operated by Getronics. This infrastructure supports mission‑critical Financial Markets applications such as KDB, Ullink, MarketView, GEP, and Horizon — platforms central to our client’s trading activities on exchanges such as Eurex Frankfurt.

As a Network Engineer, you will ensure our network infrastructure remains secure, performant, resilient, and scalable.

Focus and priorities

Business as Usual & License to Operate

• Monitor network infrastructure (LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi) and ensure uptime
• Perform incident management, troubleshooting, and resolution within SLA
• Handle configuration changes (VLANs, routing, switching, firewall rules)
• Support VPN connectivity (site-to-site and remote access)
• Work with ISPs and vendors for issue resolution
• Maintain network documentation and diagrams
• Participate in shift-based or on-call support (if required)
• Daily operational support activities
• L2/L3 troubleshooting across network and related services
• Platform support for a wide range of internal application teams

Patch and Vulnerability Management

• Manage and implement patching processes for network devices to ensure systems are up to date and secure
• Identify, assess, and remediate network vulnerabilities using standard security tools and best practices
• Perform regular vulnerability scans and coordinate timely fixes to minimize security risks

You will work on externally hosted (private cloud) infrastructure environments for Financial Markets — a fast-paced, complex, and continuously evolving area where quality and resilience are critical.

We invest in your development through training, certifications, and continuous learning. You will stay up to date with evolving network technologies, security standards, and industry practices.

How to succeed

You are analytical, proactive, and passionate about high‑quality networking. You communicate clearly, understand internal customer needs, and enjoy solving complex problems.
