ISP Network Engineer (BGP / MikroTik / Carrier Networks) - NZ

Position : Infrastructure Network Engineer (Remote)

Salary : $ 2,500 NZD / month

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.
