Why we need you

We’re building experiences that wow our customers and that starts with bold, curious people who want to do work that matters.

If you’re hungry to grow, excited by impact and ready for a challenge that will supercharge your career, this could be your moment.

As a Network Operations Centre Engineer, you will play a key role in delivering a high‑quality, resilient, and proactive operations service. You will take ownership of real‑time platform monitoring, advanced incident detection, and independent triage. You will perform second‑line troubleshooting, drive effective escalation paths, coordinate with engineering teams, and contribute to rapid service restoration during live events. You will also be responsible for producing accurate operational documentation and improving incident processes. Your work directly supports platform stability and ensures seamless customer experiences, especially during peak sporting moments where reliability is critical.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll take ownership of work that gives us our competitive edge, including:

• Monitoring & Observability
• Using monitoring tools such as Grafana, Datadog, SolarWinds, and Nagios to interpret dashboards, review alerts, and identify abnormal performance patterns or traffic deviations.
• Correlating real‑time metrics, logs, and telemetry to detect system health concerns and escalate appropriately.
• Networking & Platform Operations
• Applying solid understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, load balancing, and CDNs to support troubleshooting of platform issues.
• Using working knowledge of distributed systems, caching, and messaging components to assist with fault isolation and impact assessment during incidents.
• Incident Management Tooling
• Using Jira for structured incident tracking, escalation, and resolution workflows
• Operating on‑call platforms such as PagerDuty and maintaining knowledge base/runbook documentation for consistent incident response
• Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
• Performing first‑pass triage on server health, application performance, API latency, and database connectivity (e.g., SQL reachability, connection pooling)
• Analysing logs, metrics, and system indicators to narrow down root‑cause direction during high‑pressure incidents
• Scripting & Automation
• Using basic Bash, Python, or PowerShell scripts for log extraction, parsing, or system checks.
• Assisting with automating recurring operational tasks to reduce manual effort and improve consistency.
• Cloud & Container Technologies
• Understanding cloud fundamentals in AWS, Azure, or GCP to support cloud‑based troubleshooting or triage.
• Basic exposure to Docker, Kubernetes, or log stacks such as ELK/Opensearch, Splunk, or Loki/Promtail to aid with diagnosing distributed workloads.

This list covers your core responsibilities with plenty of room to stretch, explore and take on new challenges as we grow.

• 3 - 5 years’ experience using enterprise ITSM tools such as Jira, ServiceNow, or Freshservice.
• Practical exposure to ITIL Incident Management, demonstrated either by ITIL v4 Foundation certification, or documented participation in a structured incident-response workflow in a previous role
