• Telemetry & Observability: Own our network monitoring platform (**LibreNMS**). You will ensure 100% visibility of all network elements, tune alerting to eliminate noise, and build dashboards that accurately reflect real-time network state. • Multi-Vendor Operations: Move fluidly between hands-on configuration, complex fault resolution, and daily platform management across **MikroTik (RouterOS), Arista (EOS), and FRR**. • Traffic & Capacity Engineering: Conduct capacity planning and traffic optimization to ensure our national and international network infrastructure scales seamlessly ahead of business growth. • Proactive Risk Management: Act as the first line of defense—identifying infrastructure risks, securing network elements, and resolving issues before they become stakeholder-impacting incidents. • Documentation Culture: Keep stakeholders informed and maintain pristine network documentation, diagrams, and topology maps (because if it isn't documented, it isn't done).

Role Description The company is not a rigid, single-vendor corporate shop. Our network is a high-performance, agile environment built on a specialized mix of MikroTik, Arista, and white-box routing solutions (FRR). The client is looking for an Infrastructure Network Engineer who loves the freedom of working across a diverse technical ecosystem and takes genuine ownership of a national and international footprint. If you are tired of just pushing standard templates and want to actively design, scale, and document a growing network, this is your role. Key Responsibilities - Telemetry & Observability: Own our network monitoring platform (LibreNMS). Ensure 100% visibility of all network elements, tune alerting to eliminate noise, and build dashboards that accurately reflect real-time network state. - Multi-Vendor Operations: Move fluidly between hands-on configuration, complex fault resolution, and daily platform management across MikroTik (RouterOS), Arista (EOS), and FRR. - Traffic & Capacity Engineering: Conduct capacity planning and traffic optimization to ensure our national and international network infrastructure scales seamlessly ahead of business growth. - Proactive Risk Management: Act as the first line of defense—identifying infrastructure risks, securing network elements, and resolving issues before they become stakeholder-impacting incidents. - Documentation Culture: Keep stakeholders informed and maintain pristine network documentation, diagrams, and topology maps (because if it isn't documented, it isn't done). Qualifications - The Multi-Vendor Edge: Proven experience managing networks that don't rely on just one big-name vendor. Actively understand how to make MikroTik, Arista, and open-source routing (FRR/Linux) play nice together. - The LibreNMS Expert: Know how to do more than just read a graph; know how to configure alerts and build monitoring dashboards that matter. - International Scope: Experience dealing with the latency, routing, and capacity complexities of national or international network footprints. - Ownership Mentality: Don't wait for a ticket to fix a glaring issue or update a missing piece of documentation. Benefits - Diverse Tech Stack: Escape the single-vendor trap. Get hands-on engineering experience across Arista, MikroTik, and open-source white-box (FRR) routing solutions. - Global Scale: Gain resume-building experience managing and scaling traffic across a live national and international network footprint. - Real Autonomy: Trust in your expertise. Have the ownership to proactively spot risks, optimize capacity, and implement solutions without corporate red tape. - Proactive Culture: Focus on smart, planned engineering and great documentation to stop incidents before they happen—meaning less chaotic firefighting for you.
