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 400 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.

This role reports to the Network Operations Engineering Manager and is responsible for network operations and maintenance and providing level 3 support for services that Megaport customers rely on. A successful applicant will work closely with the existing engineering teams to build and maintain a highly scalable, reliable, and resilient network, with a focus on automation and providing elastic services to customers on demand.

Passionate about scalable networking with an interest in automation and software, you will work on robustly solving problems with a focus on customer experience and the end product. Ideally, you have come from a telecommunications or content distribution network background with experience working on large global networks and an intimate knowledge of routing protocols and label switching. Experience with SDN and cloud-based networking concepts is a must.
