At Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG) our purpose is to 'open up the world for those who want to see'. Every day, we give people all around the world the opportunity to experience something really amazing – travel!
Join Flight Centre Travel Group as our Network Solution Architect and take the lead in designing secure, high-performance global networks that power millions of journeys. In this high-impact role, you’ll shape the future of digital infrastructure in one of the world’s most exciting travel brands.

You live and breathe networks - LANs and Wireless, WANs, SD-WANs - and have 10+ years of experience shaping enterprise-grade architecture. Certifications like CCIE or Palo Alto? Even better.
