About Megaport
We’re not your typical tech company – and we don’t want to be. Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (NaaS), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other. We’re publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more. Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 600 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.
 
Our Team Culture
We’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.
 
We’re committed to increasing representation in the tech industry and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Don’t meet every requirement? That’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.

We are seeking a highly experienced engineer to join our Edge Services team, responsible for building and evolving Megaport’s edge compute platform. This platform underpins our Virtual Network Function (VNF) products and the networking systems that power them globally.

In this role, you will operate at the intersection of distributed systems, networking, and cloud-native infrastructure. You will be a key technical leader shaping the compute and networking stack, driving architectural decisions, and ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance across our edge platform. Beyond deep technical contribution, you will act as a central advisor within your domain - guiding strategy, mentoring engineers, and influencing outcomes across teams.

  • Influence the evolution of Megaport’s edge compute and networking platform

  • Architect and optimize bare metal infrastructure for high-performance VNF workloads

  • Design and implement networking solutions leveraging EVPN and host-based technologies

  • Act as a key technical advisor for a defined domain or program of work

  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex, high-impact issues across distributed systems

  • Collaborate cross-functionally to align engineering efforts with business and product goals

  • Provide clear and proactive communication to stakeholders, including leadership and non-technical audiences

  • Break down initiatives into deliverables, estimate work, and validate team estimates

  • Identify and manage technical debt while driving continuous platform improvements

  • Mentor engineers on system design, trade-offs, and architectural thinking

  • Champion innovation and promote best practices across the engineering organization

  • Identify opportunities to standardize systems and improve platform consistency

  • Experience as a senior or principal-level engineer working on distributed systems, cloud platforms, or networking infrastructure

  • Deep understanding of networking technologies including MPLS, VXLAN and EVPN

  • Practical expertise with linux networking and DPDK

  • Experience designing and operating platforms supporting virtualised network functions (VNFs)

  • Proven ability to design scalable, resilient systems and evaluate architectural trade-offs

  • Experience leading technical strategy and influencing engineering direction across teams

  • You have excellent written and verbal communication skills

  • You can work collaboratively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment

  • Flexible working environments

  • Birthday Leave

  • Generous study and training allowance + 5 days paid study leave

  • Creative, fun, and contemporary workspaces

  • Motivated team of industry experts and new talent

  • Celebrated success with ‘Legend’ and ‘Kudos’ Awards

  • Health and wellness program

  • Opportunities for career growth and potential for global intra-company transfers for interested candidates
