Independent fibre and core network infrastructure across UK and Europe
Zayo Europe operates a sprawling independent fibre network across the UK and mainland Europe, serving finance and critical infrastructure sectors. The stack reflects a mature telecom operator—Juniper and Cisco routing, Ciena optical transport, BGP/MPLS protocols—paired with enterprise SaaS (Salesforce, Oracle Fusion, Snowflake). Hiring is sales-led (15 open roles in sales vs. 2 in engineering), with active projects spanning European go-to-market expansion, new datacenter builds, and IP/Ethernet service launches, while pain points cluster around channel development, account acquisition, and operational efficiency.
