Network Engineer / Architect — Datacenter (EVPN/VXLAN)

nMumbai | Hybrid | $85,000 USD + stock options

nThe prospect

nWe'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.

nThis 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.

nWhat you'll be doing

n

n
- Designing and evolving EVPN/VXLAN datacenter fabrics — L2/L3, symmetric and asymmetric IRB, multi-VRF, multi-tenant
n
- Deep troubleshooting across control and data plane: BGP EVPN, VXLAN, Linux kernel networking, ASIC behaviour
n
- Architecting and validating high-scale datacenter designs
n
- Working hands-on with Cumulus Linux and the Linux networking stack (iproute2, netlink, nftables/iptables, bridges, VRFs)
n
- Reviewing designs and configurations with a focus on accuracy, determinism and failure handling
n
- Partnering with engineering,



automation and operations teams to build repeatable network solutions
n

nWhat they're looking for

n

n
- CCIE R&S; and/or CCIE DC level knowledge — certification optional, the skills are not — or strong hands-on Cumulus Linux experience
n
- Proven track record designing and operating EVPN/VXLAN fabrics in production
n
- Expert-level BGP (EVPN, route-targets, policy, scale considerations)
n
- Excellent Linux networking knowledge, including kernel behaviour and packet flow
n
- Comfortable troubleshooting with tcpdump, dropwatch, perf, bpftool, and FRR or similar routing stacks
n
- Solid understanding of datacenter hardware and ASIC-based switching
n
- Fluent written and spoken English
n

nNice to have

n

n
- Network automation and orchestration experience (Terraform, Ansible, custom tooling)
n
- Exposure to GPU/AI or high-throughput datacenter environments
n

nPackage

nCompetitive base plus stock options, medical, dental and vision cover, 401(k), disability insurance and flexible PTO.
