We deliver orchestration and telemetry through well-defined APIs, ensuring reliability, scalability, and interoperability — all in service of Equinix Digital Services’ goals.

• Honest communication & feedback – say what matters, listen actively
• Retrospective mindset – learn, adapt, and improve continuously
• Openness to perspectives – we thrive on diverse opinions and ideas

• Provide technical leadership and mentor less experienced engineers

• Continuously improve our software development lifecycle, tools, and processes
• Communicate and document clearly in a remote‑first environment
• Participate in on‑call rotations for our services

We’re looking for someone who has:

• Strong software‑defined networking experience

• Experience with technologies like VRF, VxLAN, VRRP, BGP, EVPN, gNMI
• Proficiency in designing distributed services with APIs (gRPC/HTTP)
• Hands‑on experience with Go or other modern programming languages
• CI/CD expertise and a passion for test automation and fast feedback loops
• Knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, and containerized environments
• Strong analytical skills and ability to solve complex problems
• Proven ability to evaluate and adjust priorities in a dynamic environment
• Comfortable working in a team with shared codebases
• Familiarity with Agile practices and tools (Scrum, Jira, Git, peer review, CI/CD pipelines)

• Work on cutting‑edge network orchestration in a team that blends software and infrastructure expertise
• Make an impact at global scale — your code will power critical infrastructure for enterprise customers worldwide
• Collaborate with talented engineers who value autonomy, ownership, and continuous learning
• Enjoy the flexibility of a remote‑first environment with async‑friendly workflows
