Build the network foundations of a European cloud,
without corporate theater. At enum , we're building our own
European cloud platform on our own hardware. Not a thin wrapper
around hyperscalers, not "clickops", not a Terraform skin on
someone else's platform. We design, operate, and continuously
improve the full stack : compute, Kubernetes, storage, and
networking. We're looking for a Senior Huawei Network Engineer to
support us sporadically, project-based, on demand. This is not a
full-time or part-time role. Think : focused deep work when there's
a design decision, rollout, migration, or gnarly incident to solve.
We agree on a minimum project scope and a minimum monthly billing
to keep collaboration efficient. You'll work directly with the
founder (Max) and the core engineering team. Tasks Design and
review datacenter network architecture and changes Implement and
troubleshoot Huawei-based networking in production Work on : EVPN
VXLAN VLAN segmentation VRF design and multi-tenant isolation VRRP
Routing (static + dynamic) BGP (internal and external) Switching
architecture (leaf / spine, access, redundancy) Help us make
decisions that scale and don't collapse later under entropy. This
is not a "network tickets" gig We’re not looking for someone to
babysit ports or follow runbooks all day. We need a system thinker
who can go from requirements to design to implementation to stable
ops. Requirements Strong hands-on experience with Huawei
enterprise / datacenter networking Solid understanding of VXLAN EVPN,
VLAN, VRF, VRRP, routing, BGP, switching Experience in datacenter /
ISP-like environments (bonus if you've built multi-tenant networks)
Clear communication and documentation habits Comfortable working
independently and delivering results without constant steering BGP
design patterns High availability patterns, failure-domain thinking
Experience integrating networking with Kubernetes platform needs
(ingress, load balancing, IPAM, L2 / L3 announcements) Familiarity
with modern infra stacks (GitOps, automation mindset)
