We’re a diverse network of people driven by our shared ambition to shape a better future. Here, we have the ability to learn and grow at the speed of technology, and the space to create within every role. Together, we are moving the world forward – and you can too. Dream it. Build it. Do it here.

What you’ll be doing...

You will be responsible for the advanced installation, operation, administration and advanced maintenance of the regional virtual network elements, ensuring network integrity and quality.

What we’re looking for...

You’re tech savvy, and proficient in all things telecommunications. Working independently suits you well. You’re also detailed, vigilant, and on top of the details - someone people count on to solve problems and to make sure they don’t happen in the first place.

• Three or more years of relevant work experience.

• Engineer leader of a team in charge of vRAN and Far Edge application upgrades, troubleshooting and assisting with growth of the network.
• Experience in Kubernetes, Openstack, Windriver, and Linux.
• Experience in scripting and automation skills.
