systemd.postinst creates that user. This is from systemd.postinst:

adduser --quiet --system --group --no-create-home --home
/run/systemd/netif \
        --gecos "systemd Network Management" systemd-network

Could you send the output of
getent passwd systemd-network

If the user is missing, I wonder why that is the case for you.
Can you run the above adduser command without the "--quiet" flag.

Do you some custom NSS setup (LDAP, whatever).

Regards,
Michael
