Network Engineer Leicester, England
Job description
About Us:
Home. There’s no place like it. And there’s no feeling like helping people create the joy of feeling truly at home.
At Dunelm, that’s what we do. We’re the UK's number one choice for homewares because we make home life lovelier for our customers. And the caring and supportive culture we've created makes this a place you'll feel right at home too.
You might not think it, but remaining the first choice for savvy homeware-shoppers involves some pretty advanced tech. We've recently made our whole company serverless, making us the largest user of AWS Lambdas in Europe (2nd in the world), and we’re bringing more and more tech into our stores. But that’s just the beginning.
Join our Tech Team and you’ll not only be part of stimulating projects that are making an impact across our business, you’ll be somewhere you can build a long-term career that always promises to challenge and excite.
Find your happy place.
About The Team:
Just like our Home Delivery Drivers, Our Networks team is responsible for making sure packets get to the right place in the quickest time possible.
Dunelm’s cloud first approach doesn’t stop with AWS and servers (or serverless). As part of Platform and Operations division, the Networks team have adopted the same philosophy. We have done away with controllers and complex data centre networks instead favouring intelligent, intent based networking. Our analytics-based WiFi solution tells us where users are having bad experience, our SD-WAN platform allows us to build a connection over any internet link and decides if an application breaks out to the internet or needs to be tunnelled internally. Our Internet Security platform allows our users to work securely from anywhere but without compromising our network edge.
Working with the Infrastructure Manager, the Network Team is built up of a Tech Lead and 5 engineers. We also work closely with our Compute and DBA team, Platform Engineering, DevSecOps, Infosec, Digital Workspace and Service Operations teams.
To assist with the support of our 195+ locations Dunelm also contracts a networks support provider that provide proactive remote and onsite support, monitoring and additional engineering capacity.
We recruit people from all types of backgrounds, who share our entrepreneurial, hands-on approach to work. We are committed to creating a full inclusive environment that is representative of our customers and locations. We recognise the value and importance in inclusion and diversity and welcome applications from all candidates, regardless of sex, age, race, religion, disability, neuro-diversity, gender or sexual identity, socio-economic background or education
