Our diverse workforce thrives in competitive environments and is committed to driving innovation. Our teams are distributed between Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. We are creative, low-ego and team-spirited. /p h3The Role /h3 pAs a Software Engineer, Network Automation - Data Center Fabrics, you will help design and build systems for operating large-scale networks within our data centers. You will apply deep networking expertise to leaf-spine architecture, automation, testing, and production troubleshooting across Ethernet switching, IP routing, BGP, EVPN/VXLAN, and VRFs. /p pThis is a hands-on role for a networking expert who is also comfortable building production software. Go and Kubernetes experience are helpful but not required; strong engineering fundamentals and network automation experience matter more. /p h3What You Will Do /h3 ul liDesign and evolve leaf-spine underlays, EVPN/VXLAN overlays,



and tenant connectivity for multi-tenant AI infrastructure. /li liTranslate data-center fabric requirements and safety properties into clear APIs, data models, validation, and automation. /li liBuild reliable control-plane software that reconciles desired and observed network state. /li liDesign safe change workflows with validation, dry runs, atomic updates, observability, and failure recovery. /li liIntegrate with data-center switch operating systems and management APIs while maintaining vendor-neutral abstractions where practical. /li liParticipate in the on-call rotation, troubleshoot active data-center network incidents, restore service, and turn root causes into lasting improvements. /li liReview designs and code, explain networking trade-offs, and help raise network engineering quality across the organization. /li liDevelop lab and production tests and turn operational lessons into better software and architecture. /li /ul h3What We’re Looking For /h3 ul liDeep hands-on experience with Ethernet switching, IP routing, BGP-based leaf-spine fabrics, EVPN/VXLAN, and VRF-based multitenancy. /li liStrong judgment around fabric underlay and overlay design, scale, convergence, isolation, and failure modes. /li liExperience building or operating production network automation, including desired state, idempotency, concurrency, observability, and recovery.



/li liStrong software-engineering fundamentals in a general-purpose language. You can design, test, debug, and review production systems and are willing to become productive in Go. /li liExperience with southbound network APIs and structured configuration, such as REST, gNMI/OpenConfig, or NETCONF. /li liHands-on experience with major data-center network operating systems, such as Cumulus Linux, Arista EOS, SONiC, Junos, or NX-OS. /li liStrong diagnostic skills using routing and EVPN state, packet captures, counters, telemetry, and logs. /li liClear, pragmatic communication and a collaborative approach to technical leadership. /li /ul h3Nice to Have /h3 ul liExperience reading, reviewing, or contributing to Go code. /li liFamiliarity with Kubernetes controllers, operators, CRDs, reconciliation, or Kubebuilder. /li liExperience with physical or simulated network labs such as containerlab, NVIDIA Air, EVE-NG, GNS3, or similar environments. /li liExperience with high-performance Ethernet, RoCE, InfiniBand, HPC, or large-scale GPU infrastructure. /li /ul h3What we offer /h3 pWe offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your well-being, growth, and work-life balance. Benefits vary by country and may include healthcare coverage, parental leave, retirement plans, relocation support, wellness programs, meal and transportation allowances, and other location-specific perks. /p pFor the most up-to-date details on benefits available in your location, please refer to our Benefits page. /p h3Privacy Policy /h3 pYour privacy matters to us.
