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.

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

What you should bring

• Strong hands-on experience with Huawei enterprise/datacenter networking
• Solid understanding of VXLAN, 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

Nice to have (or you'll learn along the way)

• VXLAN EVPN, route reflectors, 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)
