About the Team & Mission 

We’re the Software Network Engineering team behind Kairos/Catalyst, Equinix’s orchestration and telemetry platform for network resources. 
Our mission? To empower customers to run enterprise operations on their preferred hardware while managing devices with ease — enabling streamlined deployments in weeks (not months), seamless Fabric and Internet access, and API-driven network management for a more efficient, scalable future. 

We deliver orchestration and telemetry through well-defined API boundaries, ensuring reliability, scalability, and interoperability — all in service of Equinix Digital Services’ goals. 

What We Value 

• Asynchronous teamwork – work effectively across time zones. 

• Honest communication & feedback – say what matters, listen actively. 

• Retrospective mindset – learn, adapt, and improve continuously. 

• Openness to perspectives – we thrive on diverse opinions and ideas. 

Our work sits at the intersection of software development and network infrastructure. We deploy infrastructure as code, orchestrate network devices in production, and follow DevOps best practices to deliver large-scale, high-impact solutions. 

What You’ll Do 

As a Software Network Engineer, you will: 

• Design, develop, and enhance software networking features for the Kairos/Catalyst platform. 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to introduce new capabilities for our customers. 

• Provide technical leadership and mentor less experienced engineers. 

• Build distributed, scalable, and highly available services with clean APIs. 

• Drive simplicity, reliability, and maintainability in production systems. 

• Set and champion development and operational best practices. 

• Contribute directly to code while influencing long-term technical direction. 

• Continuously improve our software development lifecycle, tools, and processes. 

• Communicate and document clearly in a remote-first environment. 

• Participate in on-call rotations for the services you help build. 

What You Bring 

We’re looking for someone who has: 

• Strong software development experience in L2–L3 networking at datacenter or cloud scale. 

• Expertise in building resilient, automated, production-ready network software. 

• Experience with technologies like: VRF, VxLAN, VRRP, BGP, EVPN, gNMI 

• Proficiency in designing distributed services with APIs (gRPC/HTTP). 

• Hands-on experience with Go or other modern programming languages. 

• CI/CD expertise and a passion for test automation and fast feedback loops. 

• Knowledge of Kubernetes, Docker, and containerized environments. 

• Strong analytical skills and an insatiable curiosity to solve complex problems. 

• Proven ability to think strategically and deliver with urgency. 

• Comfort working in open-source or code-sharing environments. 

• Familiarity with Agile practices and tools (Scrum, Jira, Git, peer review, CI/CD pipelines). 

Why Join Us? 

• Work on cutting-edge network orchestration in a team that blends software and infrastructure expertise. 

• Make an impact at global scale — your code will power critical infrastructure for enterprise customers worldwide. 

• Collaborate with talented engineers who value autonomy, ownership, and continuous learning. 

• Enjoy the flexibility of a remote-first environment with async-friendly workflows. 

• Be part of a culture where your voice matters — from design discussions to retrospectives. 

If you’re excited about building reliable, scalable, and API-driven network solutions, and you thrive at the intersection of software and networking — we’d love to hear from you.
