Senior Network Engineer - Adaptiq

In this position you will lead the technical development and operation of the company’s production networking environment. This includes assessing existing implementations, setting architectural direction, delivering changes, and taking responsibility for their ongoing reliability. Networking currently has no dedicated team, and the architecture remains open to development. You will have substantial autonomy to establish technical standards, choose implementation approaches, and shape operating practices. Your scope will extend from customer access points to the systems executing their workloads. Alongside routing and security, you will address the connections between facilities, external providers, cloud environments, and individual hosts. You will also help engineers provision new customer connections through reusable configurations and automation. The role combines design, implementation, troubleshooting, and production support, including participation in an on-call rotation. It requires confidence working through incomplete requirements and explaining decisions across engineering disciplines.

Responsibilities

Assess the existing network, define architectural direction, and own implementation, automation, and production reliability.

Design and operate connectivity between customer environments and compute workloads across telecom networks, infrastructure partners, hosting facilities, and cloud environments.

Configure and maintain VLANs, VRFs, segmentation, and firewall policies.

Define tenant-isolation controls and verify their effectiveness under production conditions.

Implement secure private access using IPsec, WireGuard, or overlays, including tunnel termination and site-failure handling.

Build and maintain data-center fabric connectivity and its integration with external providers and cloud services.

Plan and deliver cross-connects, internet transit, private circuits, and network-as-a-service connections, accounting for lead times, provider dependencies, and commercial constraints.

Automate network setup and customer connectivity using Python and Terraform, building reusable workflows that other engineers can run safely and consistently.

Experience

Hands-on production experience with routing between different networks, including diagnosing unexpected routing behavior.

Experience designing and operating VLANs, VRFs, segmentation, and firewall policies.

Experience implementing tenant isolation and validating it under real operating conditions.

Strong Linux networking troubleshooting skills on hosts carrying production traffic.

Experience with data-center networking and networking services in at least one major cloud platform.

Production experience supporting customer connectivity built on IPsec or WireGuard.

Ability to trace packet flows and troubleshoot issues across systems and networks managed by different organizations.

Experience replacing manually maintained network configurations with reliable automation.
