Job Description
Network Engineer / Architect — Datacenter (EVPN/VXLAN)
Mumbai | 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.
