Storage & Backup Engineer - Rubrik (Design & Deployment) Day Rate Contract (Inside IR35) Initial term to the end of March London (Hybrid) - 4 days on site / 1 day from home 682.04pd Umbrella Rate Rubrik expertise is the whole point of this role. One of the world's largest financial groups deployed Rubrik into part of its estate a few months ago. It's running - an offshore team handles the day-to-day - but the engineering isn't finished. It needs tailoring properly into the environment, immutability and archive strategy still need designing out, and the choices made along the way by an engineer learning the product as he went deserve a proper review against best practice. The engineer who led that work is retiring. They need someone who already knows Rubrik at depth to pick it up, finish the job properly, and leave the platform in the shape it should have been in from the start. Whilst a permanent replacement is sought, a contractor needs to be brought in. This is an engineering role, not an operations one. If your Rubrik experience is running backups, rerunning failures and onboarding new clients, this isn't the one - they already have that covered. If you've designed and deployed Rubrik to best practice, and can look at someone else's deployment and say what's wrong with it, read on. What You'll Be Doing Taking Rubrik engineering ownership - design, deployment and configuration to vendor best practice Designing and implementing the immutability and retention-lock approach Designing the archive strategy and seeing it through to implementation Reviewing the existing deployment against best practice, identifying what needs putting right, and putting it right Extending Rubrik into further parts of the estate SLA Domain design, retention policy, replication and cluster capacity planning Acting as the senior Rubrik technical point for an offshore run team and for colleagues across the technology function Contributing to the wider backup and storage estate - NetWorker, Data Domain and connected storage platforms - alongside the Rubrik work What You'll Bring Deep, hands-on Rubrik experience. This is the requirement, not one line among many. You'll be asked for specifics at interview, so be ready to talk about what you've designed, built and configured rather than what you've been exposed to A track record of designing and deploying Rubrik to best practice, rather than administering a platform someone else built Working knowledge of immutability and retention lock, archive and tiering design, SLA Domains, and Rubrik cluster sizing and expansion Familiarity with both Rubrik CDM and Rubrik Security Cloud / Polaris Useful to have, but not essential: Dell EMC NetWorker and Data Domain, plus broader storage exposure across Isilon/PowerScale, Unity, ECS and Cisco SAN Financial services or another regulated environment, where retention, immutability and restore reliability carry audit weight The Practical Details Inside IR35, engaged through an FCSA-accredited umbrella company of your choice Initial contract through to the end of March, with a view to extending Four days on site in the City of London, minutes from Moorgate, one day from home. This pattern is fixed Two interview stages as standard, Teams or face-to-face A permanent hire is being recruited alongside this contract.

Network Engineer Cisco / Arista / SD-WAN / Multi-Site European WAN Sunbury-on-Thames (Hybrid - 3 days on-site p/w) 50,000 - 60,000 + Benefits Are you a network specialist who wants genuine ownership rather than a ticket queue? This is a hands-on role with a live project attached: a migration of the edge switching estate from Cisco to Arista across multiple buildings, with a firewall replacement following close behind. A globally recognised company based in Sunbury-on-Thames is looking for a Network Engineer to join its MIS function. You'll own the day-to-day availability, performance and security of the network across the UK and Europe, working to an architecture and security standard set by the global US head office and within a well-established ISO 27001 framework. Your Key Responsibilities Project Delivery: Play a central role in migrating the edge switching estate from Cisco to Arista, and in the firewall replacement programme that follows. Multi-Site Network Operations: Administer and support LAN, WAN and site-to-site connectivity across the UK, Paris and Munich, ensuring consistent availability and performance. Enterprise Infrastructure: Configure, manage and maintain switches, routers, firewalls, SD-WAN and wireless across all European locations. Security & Compliance: Maintain network security controls in line with ISO 27001, managing firewalls, VPNs, VLANs and access control policies. Proactive Monitoring & Resolution: Monitor performance, availability and capacity, resolving issues before they reach users. Lifecycle & Resilience: Own firmware upgrades, patching and device lifecycle management, and support disaster recovery and business continuity including global DR site connectivity. Improvement: Identify and deliver improvements to the existing network rather than simply maintaining it.

Your Skills & Experience Core Networking: Solid hands-on Cisco experience across routing and switching, LAN/WAN, VPNs, VLANs, firewalls and wireless in a business-critical environment. Arista: Any commercial exposure to Arista is a significant advantage given the migration ahead. You don't need to be a specialist, and Arista certification is a bonus rather than a requirement. Multi-Site Exposure: Experience supporting connectivity across more than one site, ideally internationally, with SD-WAN experience a strong advantage. Security Mindset: Working knowledge of network security principles and best practice, ideally within a formally accredited environment. Desirable Extras: Aruba, VMware vSphere, Zscaler or cloud networking experience. Approach: This is a hands-on role for someone who wants to do the work rather than direct it. Strong troubleshooting, clear communication and the judgement to prioritise independently. Experience counts for more here than certifications. Practicalities Occasional travel to European sites, typically around once a year for hardware work, plus visits to the global head office in the US. Participation in an on-call rota, which in practice is called on infrequently. You'll need to live within a sensible commute of Sunbury-on-Thames. Benefits Discretionary bonus 24 days holiday (on top of bank holidays) rising to 30 over time 7.5% employer pension contribution, with options up to 10% Permanent health cover, private dental, worldwide travel insurance 250 p/a towards gym membership and more If you've held any of these roles or used these technologies, this role could be a great fit: Network Engineer, Network Administrator, Network Security Administrator, Network Support Engineer, 3rd Line Network Engineer, Infrastructure Engineer, Cisco, Arista, Aruba, SD-WAN, CCNA, CCNP, Fortinet, Zscaler, ISO 27001.
