The role is hands-on and focused on system administration, automation using Chef, and reliable day-to-day platform operations. The engineer will work with on-prem infrastructure as the primary environment while also supporting cloud and hybrid connectivity (GCP, AWS, Megaport), treating the platform as a single, integrated system and ensuring stability, scalability, and predictable behavior in production.

  • Configure and support BGP routing between cloud and on-prem environments
  • Ensure high availability, redundancy, and fault tolerance of network connectivity
  • Troubleshoot network and connectivity issues across cloud and on-prem layers
