Infrastructure Network Engineer - with MikroTik RouterOS 7 exp (Remote-NZ)

Work Hours : NZ business hours

About the Client

The company is an agile, high-growth international infrastructure and technology provider. Unlike rigid corporate environments tied to a single legacy vendor, they operate a high-performance, multi-vendor national and international network built on modern Arista, MikroTik, and open-source white-box (FRR) routing solutions. They pride themselves on proactive risk management, high operational reliability, and absolute transparency through meticulous network documentation and observability.

About the Role

The company is not a rigid, single-vendor corporate shop. Our network is a high-performance, agile environment built on a specialized mix of MikroTik, Arista, and white-box routing solutions (FRR).

The client is looking for an Infrastructure Network Engineer who loves the freedom of working across a diverse technical ecosystem and takes genuine ownership of a national and international footprint. If you are tired of just pushing standard templates and want to actively design, scale, and document a growing network, this is your role.

Key Responsibilities

Telemetry & Observability: Own our network monitoring platform (LibreNMS). You will ensure 100% visibility of all network elements, tune alerting to eliminate noise, and build dashboards that accurately reflect real-time network state.

Multi-Vendor Operations: Move fluidly between hands-on configuration, complex fault resolution, and daily platform management across MikroTik (RouterOS), Arista (EOS), and FRR.

Traffic & Capacity Engineering: Conduct capacity planning and traffic optimization to ensure our national and international network infrastructure scales seamlessly ahead of business growth.

Proactive Risk Management: Act as the first line of defense—identifying infrastructure risks, securing network elements, and resolving issues before they become stakeholder-impacting incidents.

Documentation Culture: Keep stakeholders informed and maintain pristine network documentation, diagrams, and topology maps (because if it isn't documented, it isn't done).

Requirements

What Makes You the Perfect Fit

The Multi-Vendor Edge: You have proven experience managing networks that don't rely on just one big-name vendor. You actively understand how to make MikroTik, Arista, and open-source routing (FRR/Linux) play nice together.

The LibreNMS Expert: You know how to do more than just read a graph; you know how to configure alerts and build monitoring dashboards that matter.

International Scope: You have experience dealing with the latency, routing, and capacity complexities of national or international network footprints.

Ownership Mentality: You don't wait for a ticket to fix a glaring issue or update a missing piece of documentation.

Benefits

Why Join Us?

Diverse Tech Stack: Escape the single-vendor trap. You will get hands-on engineering experience across Arista, MikroTik, and open-source white-box (FRR) routing solutions.

Global Scale: Gain resume-building experience managing and scaling traffic across a live national and international network footprint.

Real Autonomy: We trust your expertise. You will have the ownership to proactively spot risks, optimize capacity, and implement solutions without corporate red tape.

Proactive Culture: We focus on smart, planned engineering and great documentation to stop incidents before they happen—meaning less chaotic firefighting for you.
