Northern European fiber and data-center operator scaling security and enterprise connectivity
GlobalConnect operates 155,000 km of fiber infrastructure across five countries, serving 30,000 B2B customers and 700,000+ households. The hiring mix reveals a security-first pivot: 9 open security roles against 12 engineering and 16 sales positions, paired with active projects around a new security operations practice and MDR/SOC architecture design. SD-WAN, Cisco, Aruba, and Fortinet dominate the stack—enterprise-grade connectivity tools—while Azure and Microsoft 365 adoption suggests a shift toward cloud-native service delivery.
