Description

IREN is a vertically integrated AI Cloud provider, delivering large-scale data centers and GPU clusters for AI training and inference. IREN’s platform is underpinned by its expansive portfolio of grid-connected land and power in renewable-rich regions across North America, Europe and APAC.

With 100% renewable energy, we build, own and operate our data centers and take pride in being at the forefront of sustainable solutions for the ever-evolving applications of high-performance compute. We believe that human progress is invaluable, but it should be done in the right way – responsibly, sustainably and having a positive impact on the communities we operate in.

We are looking for an IT Infrastructure Specialist to join our Corporate IT team. Reporting to the Senior Manager, IT, you will own the administration, security and lifecycle of IREN's corporate network and connectivity infrastructure across our global offices — firewalls, switching, wireless, identity-aware network access and remote connectivity.

This is a security-minded infrastructure role. You'll treat the corporate network as a critical security control surface: enforcing least privilege, maintaining a defensible and well-documented environment, and working closely with our cyber security function on hardening, detection coverage and incident response.

The role is focused on IREN's corporate setting (offices, corporate services and end-user connectivity). It is distinct from our Data Center Network Engineering team, which supports customer-facing and HPC/data center networks — though you will collaborate closely with them on interconnectivity and shared services.

You'll suit this role if you have solid network engineering experience and enjoy owning an environment end-to-end: designing, deploying, standardizing, securing,



documenting and operating — in a fast-moving, audited, multi-site global business.

Requirements

- 5+ years of hands-on network engineering/administration experience in multi-site enterprise environments
- Expert-level experience administering enterprise next-generation firewall platforms, including centralized management and logging/analytics tooling; relevant certification (e.g., Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco or equivalent) strongly preferred
- Strong routing and switching fundamentals: VLANs, OSPF/BGP basics, NAT, SD-WAN, DNS/DHCP, QoS
- Proven VPN experience: IPsec (IKEv2), SSL VPN and ZTNA concepts; familiarity with WireGuard-based overlay networking tools
- Experience with 802.1X/EAP-TLS, RADIUS and certificate-based authentication (PKI)
- Experience integrating network logging with SIEM and/or MDR platforms (syslog, log forwarding, telemetry validation)
- A security-first mindset: you default to least privilege, question standing access and treat rule-base hygiene as real work
- Experience operating in audited environments (ISO 27001, SOC 2 and/or SOX ITGC) with disciplined change management
- Strong documentation habits and clear written communication
- Ability to work autonomously across time zones and travel occasionally to offices and sites

Nice to Have
- Scripting/automation against network platform APIs (Python, PowerShell)
- Exposure to cloud identity and networking (e.g., Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, Azure networking)
- Experience with M&A; network integrations or migrations consolidating mixed-vendor estates onto a unified stack
- Relevant security certifications (e.g., Security+, SSCP, CCNP Security or equivalent)
- Familiarity with meeting-room and collaboration endpoint networking
- Spanish language skills (we have teams and offices in Spain)
