Jobbeschreibung

Exoscale is the leading Swiss / European cloud service provider, offering a full spectrum of cloud infrastructure services - from instantly deployable virtual machines to S3-compatible object storage. Our mission is to deliver a simple, scalable cloud experience that enables our customers to focus on what they do best.

We’re a distributed team headquartered in Lausanne, driven by a culture of openness, technical excellence, and collaboration. We value diversity and strive to provide an inclusive, flexible, and empowering work environment.

About the Role

As part of our ongoing infrastructure expansion, Exoscale is hiring a Network Automation Engineer to help scale and operate our European network.

This is a hands-on engineering position focused on the design, automation, and reliability of Exoscale’s network—spanning from the edge and core fabrics down to the operating system level. You’ll work closely with a team of platform engineers who are not only building and running the infrastructure, but also using and improving our own cloud products.

You’ll also collaborate with team leads who take part in both technical delivery and project / team management. Your work will directly impact the availability, performance, and evolution of our platform.

What You’ll Be Working On

• Improve routing and security automation tooling.
• Enhance and support our network observability and monitoring stack.
• Contribute to our DDoS mitigation strategies and systems.
• Develop and maintain automated network provisioning and deployment workflows.
• Collaborate on the architecture and design of Exoscale’s infrastructure and internal tools.
• Drive scalability and high availability improvements across systems and processes.
• Participate in code reviews and infrastructure change reviews.
• Join the on-call rotation (after a training period).

About You

We’re looking for engineers who are passionate about automation and infrastructure, and who enjoy solving complex problems at scale.

You likely have :

• A strong desire to automate everything.
• Solid experience with Linux and NOS derivatives like SONiC or Cumulus.
• Hands-on experience with Juniper and Arista devices.
• Good knowledge of routing and encapsulation protocols (BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, EVPN).
• Familiarity with routing daemons like FRR and BIRD.
• Experience with VPN technologies, including IPsec and WireGuard.
• Proficiency in Linux firewalling with iptables and nftables.
• Programming skills in Go and Python.
• Experience with large-scale infrastructure and configuration management tools.
• An understanding of or interest in network observability.
• A curious and autonomous mindset, with a strong learning orientation.
• Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
• Comfort working in a distributed and collaborative team environment.

What We Offer

• Flexible hours and the ability to work remotely.
• A high degree of autonomy and creative freedom.
• A modern work environment with centrally located offices and excellent public transport access.
• Ongoing learning opportunities, training, and team events.

We’re excited to meet you - apply now and help us build the future of European cloud infrastructure.
