- Design hybrid connectivity between on-premises data centres, STACKIT, IONOS and Azure regions
- Define segmentation and zero trust access patterns for IT/OT boundaries
- Specify data centre fabrics using EVPN-VXLAN and modern firewall platforms
- Write network standards and review designs from engineering teams
- Support procurement of carrier services and data centre interconnects
What you bring
- 7+ years in network engineering, with at least 3 years in architecture roles
- Deep knowledge of BGP, EVPN-VXLAN and data centre design
- Experience with cloud networking constructs and private interconnects
- Practical knowledge of next-generation firewalls and secure remote access
- Ability to explain trade-offs to security, operations and management audiences
