You'll work across leaf-spine fabrics, GPU and storage networks, and the automation that keeps them consistent at scale - partnering with internal engineering teams, vendors and integration partners to deliver infrastructure that is fast, predictable and operable.\nThis is the first Compute Networking role based in Australia. You'll be the local anchor point for the region and will work day to day with the existing team in Brazil, so comfort operating across time zones, and a degree of self-sufficiency, matters as much as the technical depth.\nWhat You'll Be Doing\nEvaluation, testing and certification of new network hardware, systems and software\nDesign and deploy resilient leaf-spine network fabrics for GPU, AI and high-performance compute infrastructure.\nDesign and operate IP fabrics using BGP, EVPN-VXLAN and ECMP.\nSupport GPU frontend, backend, storage, management and out-of-band network connectivity.\nConfigure and operate switches, routers, and data centre interconnects.\nImplement congestion management capabilities, including QoS, ECN and Priority Flow Control where required.\nIntegrate GPU data centres with Megaport transport, internet transit, cloud and external connectivity services.\nRunning proof of concept exercises with integration partners\nDevelopment of next generation network and systems architectures\nDevelop network architecture standards, low-level designs, implementation plans and operational documentation.\nMaintain technical relationships with vendor engineering teams\nEvolving network automation and monitoring systems (Capacity/Latency/Congestion/Availability)\nProviding technical support to internal and external customers\nWorking with internal teams to assist with deployments and operations\nProvide technical summaries to enable executive leadership team to make sound business decisions\nLast level escalation point for network operations, operations engineering and network engineering teams.\nWhat We Are Looking For\nPassionate about technology and using technology to solve problems\nStrong work ethic and willingness to continuously upskill\nStrong background in networking and telecommunications\nStrong understanding of IP routing, QoS, MTU, resiliency and network failure scenarios.\nPractical Experience with BGP, EVPN-VXLAN and leaf-spine architecture.\nExperience with large scale DC networks\nExperience with large scale MPLS networks\nExperience writing scripts to automate tasks\nUnderstanding of high-speed Ethernet, optical transceivers, fibre cabling and data centre cross-connects.\nAbility to take initiative and work effectively in a rapidly changing environment\nAble to dig into a fault to uncover the root cause\nDesirable: Knowledge in programming languages such as Perl and Python\nDesirable: Understanding and exposure to an Agile environment\nBonus: Understanding of RoCEv2, RDMA, Priority Flow Control and ECN.\nBonus: Familiarity with Linux networking and infrastructure-as-code practices.\nBonus: Operational experience working with network datasets, primarily SNMP & sFlow outputs\nBonus: An interest in data and analysing trends\nWhat We Offer\nCreative, fun, and contemporary workspaces\nMotivated team of industry experts and new talent\nFlexible working environments\nCutting-edge software to drive efficient communication and collaboration\nTraining and development opportunities\nCelebrated success with ‘Legend’ and ‘Kudos’ Awards\nHealth and wellness program and full social calendar\nOpportunity to make a difference","description_format":"text","description_chars":3700,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Australia","iso":"AU","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Network Interconnect"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T08:22:19Z"}],"liveness":{"score":85,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":0.945,"age_days":14,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:mid"],"computed_at":"2026-09-25T05:45:01Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/megaport-senior-compute-network-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/megaport-senior-compute-network-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-26T02:06:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2099,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":2901,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-27T00:00:00Z"}}}
