Freelance Senior Network Engineer (Huawei) on demand

Cologne - Germany

Monthly Salary: Not Disclosed

Posted on: 7 hours ago

Vacancies: 1 Vacancy

Job Summary

Build the network foundations of a European cloud without corporate theater.

At enum were building our own European cloud platform on our own hardware. Not a thin wrapper around hyperscalers not clickops not a Terraform skin on someone elses platform. We design operate and continuously improve the full stack: compute Kubernetes storage and networking.

Were 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 theres 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.

Youll 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 dont collapse later under entropy.

This is not a network tickets gig

Were 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 youve built multi-tenant networks)
Clear communication and documentation habits
Comfortable working independently and delivering results without constant steering

Nice to have (or youll 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)
