About Appvia

Appvia is a specialist cloud, platform, and solutions engineering consultancy, helping organisations modernise infrastructure, improve reliability, and adopt cloud-native practices that enable long-term, sustainable delivery.

Our engineering capability spans AWS, Azure, platform engineering, networking, software, data, AI, delivery, and managed services.

We work across complex, high-impact environments in both the public and private sector, delivering solutions where security, resilience, scalability, and operational excellence are critical.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Network Engineer to join Appvia on a new secure public sector engagement focused on live network operations, support, and continuous improvement.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll support and maintain complex network infrastructure, troubleshoot incidents, implement changes, and help improve the reliability and performance of critical services.

The engagement is more operational and managed-service focused than many of Appvia’s traditional platform engineering projects, but you’ll also have the opportunity to broaden your cloud, automation, and platform engineering skills over time as part of your progression within Appvia.
