Network Architect (Telco/ISP background required) — Work From Home, Philippines

Amazing opportunity to work for an Australian wholesale telco running its own ASN and carrier-grade infrastructure, carrying NBN, business internet and voice services for hundreds of Australian MSPs.

We are looking for a Network Engineer to own the direction of that network, not to manage a team, but to be the technical peer who plans the change, gets in the CLI, and makes it happen. This is a hands-on IC role. You'll still be the one writing the playbook and cutting the change at 2am, not handing a design to someone else to build.

What you'll be doing

• Configuring, testing and deploying changes to routers, switches, BNGs and firewalls across a national network
• Writing and maintaining Ansible playbooks for provisioning, backup/restore and validation moving toward config as code
• Owning BNG and subscriber management: subscriber termination, AAA/RADIUS, session handling and scaling
• Finding the problems before partners do, and bringing costed, reasoned recommendations then building the ones that get approved
• Working Australian business hours, with after-hours availability for maintenance windows and escalations

What you need

• Current or recent hands-on experience inside a telco, ISP or carrier network, enterprise-only backgrounds won't transfer here, and this is screened hard
• Real BNG/BRAS subscriber management experience
• Ansible automation you've personally written for network devices, playbooks, roles, inventory, idempotency
• Deep routing and switching: BGP, MPLS, OSPF, ISIS, VXLAN, eVPN
• The confidence to put a recommendation in front of leadership and defend it
• Based within 2–3 hours of Makati (there's a serviced office there)

What's on offer

• PHP 200,000–240,000/month basic, plus HMO, 13th month and benefits
• Health insurance.
• Regular virtual and in-person company events throughout the year, including our Mid-Year Celebration, Year-End Party, and Team Building.
• The role is primarily remote, with a requirement to work onsite once per quarter and occasionally as needed for team collaboration.
• Full-time work from home, high-end setup provided
• Direct line to the CEO, no four layers of approval between your idea and it getting built
• Training and certification support

If you're doing this job right now in a telco and want better work-life balance without giving up real ownership of a network, send your CV and a short note on a network improvement you pushed for that nobody asked you to apply through Nudge, confidentially.
