Remote Network Monitoring Specialist - Streaming Telemetry

Salary: £70,000 - £75,000
Location: Remote
Contract: 6-month FTC

Role Overview:

Our client is looking for an experienced Network Monitoring Specialist to support a major network infrastructure rollout on a 6-month fixed-term basis.

This is a hands-on role focused on designing, implementing and commissioning monitoring capability across newly deployed network and fibre infrastructure. The priority is to ensure the environment is fully visible, measurable and supportable from day one.

The role would suit someone with strong experience across network observability, alerting, telemetry, dashboards, service health, performance baselining and operational handover. The client is open to different monitoring backgrounds, particularly where candidates have worked with tools such as VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, Grafana, Nagios, Zabbix, InfluxDB, Telegraf, SolarWinds, PRTG, Datadog, Elastic, OpenTelemetry, SNMP, NetFlow/IPFIX or syslog pipelines.

You will work closely with network engineering and operational teams to deliver reliable monitoring at pace within a project-led environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and deploy monitoring solutions across newly delivered network infrastructure.
  • Build monitoring capability that provides clear visibility of network health, performance and service availability.
  • Work with monitoring and observability platforms such as VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, Grafana, Nagios, Zabbix, InfluxDB, SolarWinds, PRTG, Datadog, Elastic or similar.
  • Support metrics ingestion, retention, alerting, dashboarding and performance visibility.
  • Build or support streaming telemetry pipelines to provide real-time visibility across the network.
  • Implement and refine alerting workflows for service health, escalation and operational response.
  • Develop dashboards and reporting views to support engineering and operational teams.
  • Commission monitoring across network devices, access infrastructure and Layer 1-3 equipment.
  • Define baseline performance metrics, thresholds and SLA-led alerting.
  • Work closely with network and operational teams to align monitoring with changing infrastructure requirements.
  • Support analytics-led monitoring for anomaly detection and predictive fault identification where relevant.
  • Improve monitoring architecture, tooling, documentation and handover processes.
  • Produce clear runbooks, escalation paths and operational guides.
  • Support knowledge transfer into internal technical teams.

What We're Looking For:

  • Previous experience in a senior network monitoring, network engineering or observability-focused role.
  • Experience working in a telecoms, ISP, managed network or large-scale infrastructure environment.
  • Strong understanding of network monitoring principles, including alerting, telemetry, dashboards, service health and performance baselining.
  • Hands-on experience with monitoring or observability tools such as VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, Grafana, Nagios, Zabbix, InfluxDB, Telegraf, SolarWinds, PRTG, Datadog, Elastic, OpenTelemetry or similar.
  • Experience with network data sources and protocols such as streaming telemetry, gNMI, gRPC, SNMP, NetFlow/IPFIX or syslog.
  • Good understanding of time-series monitoring, metrics ingestion, retention and performance visibility.
  • Strong networking fundamentals across TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs and optical or fibre environments.
  • Familiarity with dashboarding, alert tuning, service health monitoring and operational reporting.
  • Exposure to AI/ML-led monitoring, anomaly detection or predictive fault identification would be beneficial.
  • Scripting or automation experience, such as Python or Bash, would be advantageous.
  • Comfortable working independently and delivering against defined project milestones.
  • Strong communication, documentation and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Proactive, detail-focused and comfortable solving problems without heavy direction.

Why Consider This Role?

This is a strong opportunity to join a business delivering a major network infrastructure programme, in a role where monitoring and observability are central to successful delivery.

You will be taking ownership of a critical technical area rather than simply maintaining an existing setup. The focus is on making sure newly deployed infrastructure is properly monitored, operationally ready and reliable from day one.

For someone with strong network monitoring experience, this offers a focused 6-month project where you can make a visible impact across a live network environment, using a range of modern monitoring, telemetry and observability technologies.

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
