Network Engineer

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Australia.

📋 Description

• Take full responsibility for network design from start to finish for GPU deployments, encompassing customer requirements to final handover.

• Convert customer specifications — including BGP, IP addressing, firewalls, and connectivity — into practical cable and rack plans.

• Collaborate with third-party deployment partners for physical builds and verify their work remotely prior to approval.

• Manage five or more simultaneous deployments, each adhering to its own schedule.

• Address network issues that arise post-deployment, ensuring a seamless transition to full customer handover.

• Select the most suitable vendor and technology for each deployment rather than imposing a single stack universally.

⛳️ Requirements

• Extensive, multi-vendor network engineering expertise, including proficiency with Cisco — rather than solely single-vendor knowledge.

• Experience in guiding network projects from customer requirements through to design, build coordination, and handover, with practical implementation skills.

• Exceptional customer-facing technical communication skills — capable of gathering requirements and converting them into actionable designs.

• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent deployments remotely, coordinating with third-party build partners without being on-site.

• Familiarity with EVPN.

• Knowledge of VXLAN.

• Exposure to technologies from NVIDIA, Arista, FortiGate, or Juniper — particularly Arista.

• Background in OpenStack Neutron networking.

• Experience working at an MSP, ISP, colocation or cloud provider, or systems integrator providing end-to-end network deployments.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and an annual discretionary bonus scheme.

• Employee wellbeing benefits.

• 25 days of holiday, in addition to public holidays.

• Private Medical Insurance.

• Enhanced Pension Scheme.

• Flexible working arrangements (remote or hybrid, depending on role and location).

• Genuine ownership and autonomy — the freedom to take initiative and innovate.

• Visible, meaningful impact as we scale.

• Clear career advancement opportunities in a fast-growing company.

• A collaborative, international culture built on trust, transparency, and ownership.

• The opportunity to influence the development of NexGen Cloud's team, culture, and future.
