What You'll Be Doing

As a
Network Automation Engineer
, you will play a key role in building and maintaining the network backbone of Nebul's private cloud platform. You will design and automate complex network configurations across OpenStack environments, ensuring high availability, scalability, and security. Your work enables reliable infrastructure for compute, storage, and AI workloads in our sovereign cloud environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and manage software-defined networking (SDN) within OpenStack environments (e.g., Neutron)
  • Automate network configuration, monitoring, and management using Python, Ansible, or similar tools
  • Ensure secure and efficient connectivity across data centers, cloud, and hybrid environments
  • Develop and maintain provisioning systems, APIs, and templates for self-service deployment
  • Monitor network performance and capacity; implement observability and alerting
  • Collaborate with security teams to enforce segmentation, encryption, and access policies
  • Troubleshoot complex, real-time network issues
  • Contribute to the design of high-availability, fault-tolerant architectures
  • Document processes and share knowledge across platform and operations teams
  • Stay current with SDN, NFV, and automation trends in OpenStack and cloud-native ecosystems

What Your Day Will Not Look Like

  • Manually configuring switches or firewalls—we aim for full network automation
  • Waiting for someone else to define the architecture—you'll help build it yourself
  • Solving the same issue repeatedly—your job is to automate it the first time

What You Bring

  • Proven experience managing and automating networks in OpenStack environments
  • Deep knowledge of SDN (especially OpenStack Neutron), routing, switching, and Layer 2/3 protocols
  • Hands-on experience with automation tools like Ansible, Python, Terraform, or similar
  • Familiarity with Linux networking, VPNs, VXLAN, BGP, and cloud firewalls
  • Understanding of network security, segmentation, and compliance requirements
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex distributed systems and communicate issues clearly

Bonus Points For:

  • Experience with
    NVIDIA hardware
    or AI-optimized infrastructure
  • Integrating OpenStack networking with Kubernetes or hybrid cloud setups
  • Knowledge of CI/CD for network automation and infrastructure testing
  • Familiarity with tools such as NetBox, FRRouting, Calico, or OVN/OVS
  • A strong belief in automation-first infrastructure

Eligibility

  • You must have a valid work permit for the Netherlands
  • You reside in the Netherlands and can travel to the office near The Hague
  • You are fluent in English (Dutch is not required)
  • Please note: Nebul does not provide relocation or visa sponsorship
