Why this job matters
Our team defines our customer-facing mobile data services, how those services should work, and how they should be configured. To achieve this, the team designs for platforms with names known to the industry as SGW, PGW, DNS, Gi LAN and CGNAT Firewall (explained below), plus others.
It aligns with strategy to ensure that we build, upgrade and bring in new solutions to stay ahead of the competition. This is a really exciting time as we are moving off traditional platforms that have served us for the past decade, onto a new cloud native core with container orchestration and advanced 5G features.
You’ll be part of that picture, deciding exactly how some customer-facing services will operate for EE, BT, and multiple other brands. This means being the design lead for one or more of these services, or one of the platforms it runs over. What you do directly influences happy or unhappy customers. This team has built the best performing network in the UK since 2013, and was first to launch both 4G and 5G.
What you’ll be doing
- Author design documents (such as High Level or Low Level Designs, configuration, or sequence flows).
- Be a backup for at least one other service or platform, to ensure that there are no single points of failure amongst our design cover.
- Liaise with vendors and suppliers.
- Analyse logs and packet traces to identify the cause of issues.
- Measure the capacity and traffic profiles of services and platforms to ensure that our network can serve our customers well.
- Provide ad-hoc consultancy to other teams and business units based on your specialist knowledge of our services – this could be to any stakeholder within the business.
- Attend and feedback on a series of standard meetings & forums including Project Meetings, Design Review Meetings, and Post Implementation Reviews.
- You could be working on a number of platforms such as SGW (Serving Gateway), PGW (Packet Data Network Gateway), DNS (Domain Name System), Gi Lan (Internet traffic optimisation platforms), or CGNAT (Carrier Grade Network Address Translation).
What you'll bring
Must Have
- You’ll have the desire and ability to understand how a technical system works underneath, and put this to use in designing new services and platforms to perform optimally.
- You can express your thoughts clearly and concisely in writing, and are thoughtful towards the types of audiences that will be reading your documentation. Often, to convey a complex technical interaction accurately, drawing diagrams will be necessary. Use Cases, Sequence Flows, Flow Charts & Timelines are some examples of what might be needed.
- Multiple years designing and/or operating a component within the 3GPP 4G packet core, such as MME, SGW, PGW, PCRF, Gi Lan, or ePDG.
- Stakeholders management and ability to build business relationships, negotiating what works for both parties, in a collaborative approach.
- You should have inquisitive nature.
- Openness to learming and adopting innovative approach and technnologies.
