Job summary

Keepit is seeking a Senior Networking Engineer to own the data-center network fabric, routing, and segmentation in Copenhagen. You will design and operate load balancing, traffic management, and VPN connectivity for management across remote regions.

You will collaborate with SRE, Development, Operations, and Security to resolve bottlenecks and ensure reliability, while driving automation and observability across the platform.

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 — the kernel network stack, iptables/nftables, tc
• Experience with load balancing and reverse proxies (Nginx, HAProxy, or equivalent)
• Proactive mindset — you spot gaps before they become incidents
• Clear communicator; you can translate network decisions for engineers who don’t live in a terminal

Responsibilities

• Own and evolve our network architecture — data-center fabric, routing (BGP/OSPF), 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
