Network Engineer at Monks

Monks is rapidly expanding its global footprint, and as a Network Engineer you will sit at the heart of this growth, shaping the APAC digital backbone for a portfolio of high‑profile clients. The role offers hands‑on exposure to state‑of‑the‑art networking hardware, cloud‑enabled SD‑WAN platforms, and automation frameworks that are redefining enterprise connectivity. Working here means you’ll be trusted with end‑to‑end network design, implementation, and continuous improvement, giving you a unique platform to accelerate your technical expertise and leadership profile. Beyond the technology, Monks fosters a collaborative culture where cross‑functional teams—from security to cloud architects—work side‑by‑side. You’ll benefit from mentorship programs, continuous learning budgets, and clear career ladders that reward innovation. This environment not only sharpens your skill set but also positions you as a strategic partner in delivering resilient, future‑proof infrastructure, making the role a powerful springboard for senior network leadership positions.

Prepare by revisiting core networking protocols (BGP, OSPF, MPLS, QoS) and be ready to diagram complex multi‑site topologies on a whiteboard. Interviewers often pose scenario‑based questions—e.g., diagnosing a flaky WAN link or optimizing routing convergence—so practice troubleshooting steps, command‑line diagnostics (show run, ping, traceroute), and articulating your thought process using the STAR method. Demonstrate your automation chops by bringing a small Python/Ansible script or a GitHub repo that showcases network device configuration changes or monitoring integrations. Be ready to discuss how you’ve reduced manual toil, improved SLA compliance, or handled high‑severity incidents. Highlight soft‑skill examples where you coordinated with vendors or led cross‑team post‑mortems, showing that you can blend technical depth with effective communication in high‑pressure environments.
