Job Description

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
