Network Engineer / Architect — Datacenter (EVPN/VXLAN)
Hydrabad | Hybrid | $85,000 USD + stock options
The opportunity
We're partnered with a network automation platform business building the software layer behind large-scale AI cloud infrastructure. Their technology lets GPU cloud operators stand up multi-tenant networks in weeks rather than months, and they're deployed across dozens of live GPU clusters worldwide.
This is a role for an engineer who designs, builds, automates and debugs EVPN/VXLAN fabrics down to packet level — not someone who configures them from a template.
What you'll be doing
Designing and evolving EVPN/VXLAN datacenter fabrics — L2/L3, symmetric and asymmetric IRB, multi-VRF, multi-tenant Deep troubleshooting across control and data plane: BGP EVPN, VXLAN, Linux kernel networking, ASIC behaviour Architecting and validating high-scale datacenter designs Working hands-on with Cumulus Linux and the Linux networking stack (iproute2, netlink, nftables/iptables, bridges, VRFs) Reviewing designs and configurations with a focus on accuracy, determinism and failure handling Partnering with engineering, automation and operations teams to build repeatable network solutions
What they're looking for
CCIE R&S and/or CCIE DC level knowledge — certification optional, the skills are not — or strong hands-on Cumulus Linux experience Proven track record designing and operating EVPN/VXLAN fabrics in production Expert-level BGP (EVPN, route-targets, policy, scale considerations) Excellent Linux networking knowledge, including kernel behaviour and packet flow Comfortable troubleshooting with tcpdump, dropwatch, perf, bpftool, and FRR or similar routing stacks Solid understanding of datacenter hardware and ASIC-based switching Fluent written and spoken English
Nice to have
Network automation and orchestration experience (Terraform, Ansible, custom tooling) Exposure to GPU/AI or high-throughput datacenter environments
Package
Competitive base plus stock options, medical, dental and vision cover, 401(k), disability insurance and flexible PTO.
