About The Client

We build and operate mobile networks in places most people will never visit—remote islands in the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic, and overseas territories. Our software powers cellular networks that connect communities where traditional telcos wont go. Were looking for a Network Operations Engineer to join our small, tight-knit team in Australia and the US.

The role

Youll be the glue between our customers and our development team—keeping networks running, building visibility into our infrastructure, and helping ship improvements.

This is a new role. Weve never hired for this position before, so you wont be slotting into someone elses job—youll be carving out your own. Theres plenty to do, and no two days will look the same.

To start: Youll own building out our observability layer - Today weve got metrics flowing into Prometheus and InfluxDB, but they need to be stitched together into polished Grafana dashboards. From there, your role grows into bridging the gap between our dev team and our customers—spotting issues, improving tooling, documentation and keeping the networks running smoothly.

Day-to-day, Youll Be

• Building and refining Grafana dashboards, alerts, and thresholds
• Running Ansible playbooks to deploy upgrades, backups, deployments and patches
• Monitoring customer and internal infrastructure and proactively catching issues
• Owning incidents / tickets end-to-end: triage, investigation, fix, or escalate
• Feeding insights back to the dev team as they ship new features and working to create even better products
  
  

This is about 80% internal infrastructure work, 20% customer-facing support.

Our Environment

Everything is built in-house by our dev team—no vendor black boxes.

• Configuration/Orchestration: Ansible (Git-controlled)
• Monitoring: Prometheus, InfluxDB, Grafana
• Virtualisation: Proxmox (VMs and LXC containers)
• OS: Linux (Ubuntu), with a custom Apt repo for our stack
  
  

Skills/Qualifications:

• Solid networking fundamentals (roughly CCNA-level knowledge, certification not required)
• Experience working in an ISP or telco environment
• Linux sysadmin skills (comfortable on the command line, installing packages, troubleshooting services)
• Experience with Grafana and Prometheus (or similar tools like Zabbix or Nagios—the concepts transfer)
• Experience with Ansible (or transferable skills from Salt, Puppet, or Terraform)— running playbooks, basic modifications
• Basic Git skills (saving changes, pushing commits)
• Strong troubleshooting skills with Wireshark and packet captures
• Solid TCP/IP fundamentals—routing, packet loss, protocol behaviour
• Self-directed and able to work autonomously
  
  

Nice to have

• Experience with 3GPP mobile/cellular networks (highly desired—but well train the right person)
• SIP/VoIP experience
• Python or scripting skills
• Mikrotik experience
  
  

Were happy to train you on the mobile network domain if youre strong on the ISP/Linux/monitoring fundamentals. This role isnt for you if you need tasks handed to you. Were a small team and we dont micromanage. Youre expected to spot problems, find improvements, and make them happen—not wait for a list.

Compensation & Benefits

• Equipment provided (laptop, etc.)
• Async-first culture - We leave you to focus on your work
• 50% contribution towards any certifications you want to pursue
  
  

Work Schedule

• Monday to Friday (10AM-7PM; Manila Time) - with flexibility to adjust start and finish times as needed
  
  

Work Setup (WFH)

• Permanent Homebased
• Equipment will be provided by the company
• Hired staff is required to have a stable and reliable internet connection with at least 20MBPS for both download AND upload speed.
