Network Engineer - Platform & Technical Enablement

Join Telavox as a Linux-Centric Network Engineer – Platform & Technical Enablement Are you a network engineer who's as comfortable in a Linux shell as in a routing table? At Telavox, our infrastructure team is growing, and we’re looking for a Network Engineer to help scale and secure the backbone of our global communication services. Our network runs on Linux. Instead of relying on closed appliances, we build our routing and forwarding on open-source software running on standard servers, and we manage it like the rest of our platform: as code. You'll join a highly skilled, collaborative team that embraces reusable solutions, automation-first thinking, and a culture of continuous learning. If you're energized by solving impactful challenges, building automation-first infrastructure, and working closely with teams across the organization, this role is for you.

About the job

As a Network Engineer at Telavox, you’ll play a key role in designing, building, and operating our core network infrastructure. This includes everything from data center networking and edge PoPs to cloud-native integrations and infrastructure automation. You’ll work with a team of experienced engineers who embrace a DevOps mindset and operate with autonomy, quality, and agility.

Your day-to-day work may include

• Building and operating Linux-based routers, from the packet processing layer up through the routing stack

• Designing and implementing scalable and future-proof network solutions, both on-prem and across distributed global environments

• Automating configuration, monitoring, and provisioning using tools like Ansible, Python, and Bash

• Expanding and maintaining our international edge network of PoP sites

• Managing our hybrid infrastructure and private cloud with Kubernetes networking at the core

• Supporting the development of our infrastructure APIs to enable self-service for product teams

• Ensuring high availability and performance through technologies like OSPF, BGP, EVPN, VXLAN, and WireGuard/IPsec

• Collaborating across product and platform teams to turn complex requirements into practical, robust infrastructure

About you

You’re a systems thinker with deep networking expertise and a drive to simplify, automate, and scale. You’ve worked on large-scale network architectures, are comfortable with Linux and open-source tooling, and love tackling hard problems collaboratively. You're systematic and structured in your approach, but flexible in how you find solutions.

Key skills and experience we’re looking for

• Extensive experience designing and operating large-scale, production-grade network environments.

• Proficiency with Linux networking

• Hands-on experience with hypervisor- and container-based workloads

• Familiarity with routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), tunneling (VXLAN, EVPN), and secure networking (WireGuard, IPsec)

• Comfortable with automation and scripting (Ansible, Python, Bash).

• Experience with monitoring and observability tools such as Observium, Netbox, Icinga, Prometheus, and Grafana

• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset—you enjoy sharing your knowledge and working across team boundaries.

• Strong understanding of network segmentation, zero-trust principles, and security best practices for protecting critical infrastructure

Good-to-have skills

• Experience with Juniper, VPP, and FRR

• Network or cloud certifications (JNCIE, CCNP, AWS, etc.)

• Experience deploying and operating Kubernetes clusters, especially on-prem
