About the Client

The company is an agile, high-growth international infrastructure and technology provider. Unlike rigid corporate environments tied to a single legacy vendor, they operate a high-performance, multi-vendor national and international network built on modernArista, MikroTik, and open-source white-box (FRR) routing solutions. They pride themselves on proactive risk management, high operational reliability, and absolute transparency through meticulous network documentation and observability.

About the Role

The company is not a rigid, single-vendor corporate shop. Our network is a high-performance, agile environment built on a specialized mix ofMikroTik, Arista, and white-box routing solutions (FRR).

The client is looking for anInfrastructure Network Engineerwho 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). 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 acrossMikroTik (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).

Requirements

What Makes You the Perfect Fit

• The LibreNMS Expert:You know how to do more than just read a graph; you know how to configure alerts and build monitoring dashboards that matter.
• International Scope:You have experience dealing with the latency, routing, and capacity complexities of national or international network footprints.
• Ownership Mentality:You don't wait for a ticket to fix a glaring issue or update a missing piece of documentation.
