DDI Specialist

Every network runs on a register of names and addresses. If that register is wrong, nothing else works — and nobody notices until it breaks. You would keep that register right for a multinational defence network, working on-site at Braine-l'Alleud, Belgium under the section head responsible for names and addressing. What you would be doing Closing tickets inside the agreed service levels Owning the quality and integrity of the data itself Registering and publishing the names, addresses and metadata the networks depend on Extracting, de-duplicating, matching and fusing data, then curating the master records through their life Assigning and registering addressing and enterprise names against infrastructure designs Helping project teams fold names and addresses of configuration items into the central repositories Automating configuration data for partner and mission-network affiliates Automating how network telemetry is collected and ingested What you would bring Higher vocational training in a relevant discipline with three years of related experience, or a secondary qualification with five At least three years as a network technician, or in a DDI or IP address management role Familiarity with network automation or another scripting or coding language Confident subnetting in both IPv4 and IPv6 Practical DNS, IP and routing protocols — OSPF, RIP, IS-IS, BGP and the rest Evaluating and processing change requests Auditing device configurations against the registered baseline Nice to have Address management on military networks, or hands-on use of an IPAM database Wide-area and local-area networking, firewalls, and an awareness of MPLS and multicast An industry certification such as CCNA DevNet or JNCIA, or the experience to match Writing documentation and manuals for a technical readership The RIPE NCC local internet registry course Work in an international environment with both military and civilian colleagues Why this one is worth a look It is a rare mix: disciplined data stewardship on one side, real automation work on the other, on a network where the addressing genuinely matters.
