Senior Network & Platform Engineer

Senior Network & Platform Engineer

Gaming1

Liege, Belgium

We are scaling our Platform Engineering function to give our Product Engineers a faster, safer, more self-service infrastructure foundation — and we are hiring a Senior Network & Platform Engineer to help build it.

YOUR ROLE

You will sit at the intersection of networking and platform engineering, embedded in our Platform Engineering Area. You will own both the network fabric and the platform primitives that sit on top of it — treating infrastructure as code, building self-service capabilities with guardrails, and making sure Product Engineers can ship without infrastructure becoming a bottleneck.

What You'll Do

• Own network platform capabilities as code — Design, deploy, and maintain Fortinet-based network fabric (FortiGate, FortiSwitch, SD-WAN, BGP, IPsec) using Terraform, Ansible, and Git-based workflows.
• Build self-service capabilities with guardrails — Provide Product Engineers with safe, scoped network primitives they can consume without filing a ticket.
• Keep it secure by default — Embed cybersecurity standards into IaC pipelines; partner with Security on threat modeling and compliance.
• Make it observable — Implement and maintain telemetry (Prometheus, Grafana) so reliability is measurable, not assumed.
• Continuously improve — Evaluate new tooling, eliminate friction, and evolve the platform alongside peers.
• Elevate the team — Share expertise; raise the bar on automation, security, and reliability standards.

YOUR PROFILE

• 7+ years of professional experience in network engineering, with at least 2 years in a platform or IaC-oriented role
• Bachelor's or master's in computer science, or equivalent experience
• Fortinet NSE 4 certification (or equivalent practical experience) — NSE 7 preferred
• Expert-level network engineering with deep Fortinet expertise (FortiGate, FortiSwitch); strong WAN/SD-WAN, BGP, IPsec, L2/L3 switching
• Hands-on experience with Terraform and Ansible for network and systems automation
• Python and/or Go scripting for network automation and tooling
• Solid grasp of CI/CD and GitOps (Git, GitLab CI, ArgoCD)
• Hands-on experience with Prometheus and Grafana
• Working knowledge of cybersecurity standards and secure-configuration practices
• Strong sense of when to work autonomously and when to collaborate
