Network engineering
BareFABRIC fabric, DFIX, transit, peering. Arista EOS, gNMI / eAPI, BGP, EVPN, RPKI. You will design and operate the underlay and the customer-facing services on top of it.
[ Careers ]
A senior team. Substantive engineering work.
We hire engineers who want to operate infrastructure end-to-end: designing the network, drilling the generators, taking the on-call phone, and authoring the post-incident review. No first-line ticket queue, no script trees, no second-line escalation desk between the engineer and the system.
- Location
- The Hague, NL
- Team size
- Small & growing
- Stack

- Hours

[ Why work here ]
You will own production systems, end-to-end.
We operate one facility and one fabric, end-to-end. There are no layers between the engineer and the system — you design it, you ship it, you take the on-call shift and you write the post-incident review when it breaks.
The network is 100% Arista EOS, controlled via gNMI / eAPI with declarative reconciliation. The portal is OpenAPI 3.1; the cabinet metering, alarm transmission and monitoring all feed into systems we wrote and own. The work is substantial because the surface area is real and the team is sized so that every engineer owns a meaningful piece of it.
We hire for operational seriousness and demonstrated ownership — the kind of work history that matters is the systems you have actually run, not the brand names on your CV.
Where we typically grow the team.
We do not always have an open req in every category — when we do, it is listed below. If your shape fits and we are not actively hiring, get in touch anyway.
Facilities & operations
Power, cooling, mechanical. Generator drills, UPS service intervals, ATS testing, capacity planning for Phase 2. You sign off the audit packet and the operational baseline.
Platform / software
The BareFABRIC portal, the OpenAPI 3.1 surface, the Terraform provider, the control loop that reconciles desired state. Python, Go, modern web stack. Strong opinions on testing.
Security & compliance
VRKI 2.0 Class 4 audit cycle, ISO 9001 / 27001 management system, SOC 2 Type II evidence. Not a paper-only role — you walk the perimeter and you sign the report.
Data centre / on-site
Rack-and-stack, cabling, IPMI configuration, remote-hands work for managed-colocation customers. You are the engineer in the building when something needs hands.
NOC engineering
24/7 rotation, no first-line filter. You pick up the phone and you own the issue end-to-end. Strong written communication; runbook discipline; bias to fix.
