Job summary

Keepit is seeking a Senior Networking Engineer in Copenhagen to own the network fabric underpinning our backup infrastructure. You will manage data-center routing, edge connectivity, and secure end-to-end delivery, working closely with SRE, Development, Operations, and Security.

Lead network automation, observability, and reliability standards, with hands-on experience in BGP/OSPF, VXLAN/EVPN, and Linux networking. Hybrid working arrangements are offered.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in a Network Engineering, Network Reliability, or Infrastructure Engineering role.
• Strong hands-on experience with routing and switching at scale (BGP, OSPF, VLANs, VXLAN/EVPN).
• Solid Linux networking fundamentals—kernel network stack, iptables/nftables, tc, and comfort working close to the metal.
• Experience with load balancing and reverse proxies (Nginx, HAProxy, or equivalent).
• Proactive mindset—spot gaps before they become incidents.
• Clear communicator; translate network decisions for engineers who don’t live in a terminal.

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve our network architecture—data-center fabric, routing, and segmentation.
• Design and operate load balancing, ingress, and traffic-management for a platform moving data at scale.
• Define and enforce network reliability standards, runbooks, and change-management practices.
• Build network automation and observability—treat the network as code, with visibility into every hop.
• Manage VPN connectivity for management purposes to remote regions.
• Collaborate with SRE, Development, Operations, and Security to identify and resolve bottlenecks and issues before they become incidents.
• Champion automation—if something is done twice, it should be scripted the third time.
