Job description

This is a remote position.

About Us

We are an innovative game development studio at the forefront of 3D mobile game creation. We’re currently in the early stages of development and are building immersive, well-crafted gaming experiences powered by our proprietary game engine.

Our team is international, with developers, game designers, and 3D artists from Ukraine, Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and other countries.

The Role

We’re looking for a Mid-level Network Engineer to take ownership of our current in-datacenter private network and help us expand the networking stack over time. This role mixes hands-on network operations today with more advanced routing / DDoS / traffic analysis work in the future as we grow.

You’ll help set up new networks as the company scales, covering a wide spectrum of networking tasks, including:
Setting up new networks end-to-end as we expand.
Implementing basic firewall-level DDoS protection.
Performing production tcpdump analysis (real traffic troubleshooting and deep dives).
Obtaining a BGP tree.
Experimenting with BGP-based DDoS protection, which includes:
Setting up our own AS (Autonomous System)
Peer routing analysis, and related routing/traffic engineering work (“and so on” as the networking footprint expands).

Requirements

Strong knowledge and practical experience with L2/L3 networking.
