Applications Close:
Wednesday 16 September ****
You'll define, govern and evolve the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission's enterprise network architecture across on-premises, cloud-connected and hybrid environments, making sure network services stay secure, scalable, resilient and supportable.
Working within the Network Operations team, you'll translate business, security and technology requirements into network capabilities, designs and implementation roadmaps.
You'll develop architecture patterns and standards, provide technical governance and assurance across projects and operational initiatives, and lead or contribute hands‐on to the implementation of complex network capabilities where specialist expertise is needed.
The environment is a complex multi‐vendor one.
The Network Operations team looks after Fortinet security platforms (firewalling, privileged access management, sandbox and management platforms), enterprise routing and switching, network security platforms, load balancing and application delivery, virtualised network products, cloud networking and hybrid connectivity, LAN, MAN and WAN environments, carriage circuits, network monitoring and observability, and network automation and orchestration including Ansible.
You'll work closely with business stakeholders, project teams, security practitioners, architects and operational support teams, combining strategic architecture with technical leadership so that network solutions are delivered well and can be supported in operation.
