Full Job Description
Overview
If you live and breathe networking, virtualization, and high-availability systems, this Senior Network Data Center Engineer role is your playground. You'll architect and maintain a rock-solid network infrastructure that powers Proxmox virtualization, Ceph/SAN storage, and containerized environments-all while keeping security airtight and performance at its peak. From designing VLANs and firewalls to optimizing routing protocols and load balancers, you'll be the mastermind behind a resilient, scalable, and high-speed data center. Whether it's mitigating DDoS attacks, troubleshooting latency bottlenecks, or fine-tuning VPNs and HA networks, you're the go-to expert ensuring everything runs seamlessly. If you're ready to push the limits of network engineering and keep mission-critical systems online 24/7, we'd love to have you on board!
