Job summary

Bitdeer Technologies Group seeks a senior data center network engineer to own the IP/Ethernet fabric connecting its AI cloud across multiple US data centers. You will drive automation to express network intent as code and manage EVPN-VxLAN fabrics for scalable, policy-driven operations.

You will design and operate multi-site DCI, implement BGP/OSPF/ECMP across spine-leaf, and champion automation with Ansible, Terraform, and Nautobot/NetBox. Strong QoS and runbook-as-code mindset required.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in data center network engineering with EVPN-VxLAN deployment.
• Strong BGP expertise (eBGP/iBGP, route policies, communities).
• Experience designing multi-site DCI with EVPN multi-homing.
• Hands-on with Arista EOS and Cisco NX-OS in spine-leaf environments.
• Experience with firewall platforms (Palo Alto, Fortinet) for perimeter security.
• Hands-on experience with IP transit provisioning and internet peering.
• Familiarity with network automation tools (Ansible, Python/Netmiko, Nautobot/NetBox).
• Strong understanding of QoS, traffic engineering, and capacity planning for DC networks.
• AIOps aptitude or Runbook-as-code mindset.

Responsibilities

• Own the data center network fabric connecting Bitdeer’s AI cloud across multiple US data centers.
• Design and operate multi-site DCI with EVPN multi-homing.
• Implement and maintain BGP, OSPF, and ECMP across spine-leaf architectures.
• Support IP transit, peering, and internet edge infrastructure.
• Lead network automation efforts using Ansible, Terraform, Nautobot/NetBox, and Python scripts.
• Monitor network health, capacity, and SLA adherence; maintain architecture docs and standard configurations.

Job Description

You own the north-south fabric that connects our AI cloud to the world - and drive the automation that turns EVPN/BGP ops from tickets into policy.

NeoCloud is building an AI-operated GPU cloud spanning 4 US DCs, APAC sites, and Iceland. In this role you own the IP/Ethernet infrastructure that connects that fleet - DCI, WAN, internet edge, tenant-facing networks - and you build the automation that lets the AIOps substrate express network intent as code, not as change tickets.

What You’ll Own

• EVPN-VxLAN data center fabrics for multi-tenant network isolation and workload mobility.
• Multi-site DCI overlay/underlay connecting 4 US DCs with consistent L2/L3 services.
• BGP (eBGP/iBGP), OSPF, ECMP load balancing, and VxLAN across spine-leaf architectures.
• IP transit, peering relationships, and internet edge infrastructure.
• WAN/IP backbone connecting US DCs to APAC and Iceland sites.
• Network equipment: Arista, Cisco, and Palo Alto switches, routers, and firewalls.
• Network automation with Ansible, Terraform, Nautobot/NetBox for IPAM/DCIM.
• Network health, capacity, and SLA monitoring across all sites.
• Network architecture docs, standard configs, and change procedures.

Feed the AIOps substrate

• Every route policy, ACL, VRF, and peering session lives as code in the platform's config-management substrate - no config drift, no snowflakes.
• Every BGP flap, every DCI degradation feeds the network-stability predictor.
• Every routine change becomes a workflow the remediation actuator can execute under a maintenance window.

Job Requirement

• 5+ years in data center network engineering, with hands-on EVPN-VxLAN deployment experience
• Strong BGP expertise (eBGP/iBGP, route policies, communities, traffic engineering)
• Experience designing and operating multi-site DCI with EVPN multi-homing
• Proficiency with Arista EOS and/or Cisco NX-OS in spine-leaf data center environments
• Experience with firewall platforms (Palo Alto, Fortinet) for perimeter and inter-tenant security
• Hands-on experience with IP transit provisioning and internet peering
• Familiarity with network automation tools (Ansible, Python/Netmiko, Nautobot/NetBox)
• Strong understanding of QoS, traffic engineering, and capacity planning for DC networks
• AIOps aptitude - you've either driven a network-automation program from ticket-driven ops to intent-driven policy, or you have a clear thesis on how you would.
• Runbook-as-code mindset - configs, changes, and rollbacks should be executable by an agent.
