Network Engineer for fast-growing tech company
Our network is growing fast – and it needs you.
About the Role
VX Fiber is looking for a Network Engineer with deep technical expertise, drive, and a strong sense of ownership.
If you enjoy getting hands-on with everything from TOR switches to BGP routing, troubleshooting LACP, or optimizing IP transit – you’ll fit right in with us.
You’ll be working with a modern tech stack, a high degree of autonomy, and a clear sense of direction – alongside a team that knows what it takes to keep things running smoothly in real time, under 200 ms, anywhere in the world.
What you'll Do
- Design, implement, and maintain both local and cloud-based networks
- Work proactively with monitoring, performance optimization, and incident management
- Contribute to security solutions (firewalls, VPNs, segmentation)
- Collaborate closely with developers and DevOps teams
- Evaluate new technologies and influence our technical choices
Who we think you are
- A solution-oriented doer who thrives in fast-moving environments
- A curious technologist who keeps up to date with networking and infrastructure
- A true team player who enjoys sharing knowledge
- Someone who values freedom with responsibility and likes to make an impact
What we offer you
- Freedom and flexibility – work your way, with flexible hours and hybrid options
- Influence and impact – shape technology choices, architecture, and ways of working
- A supportive culture – open, collaborative, and driven by passion for both people and technology
- Focus on growth – continuous learning, skills development, and shared success
- Innovation that matters – experiment, build, and create in a modern tech environment
What you Bring
Education
We value competence, drive, and pragmatism more than formal education – if you have the right experience, a diploma matters less.
Experience
- At least 5 years of experience in network administration and troubleshooting
- Strong knowledge of TCP/IP, routing (BGP, IS-IS), switching, VLAN, DNS, and DHCP
- Experience with MPLS (LDP and Segment Routing) at the packet level
- Experience with firewalls, VPNs, and security protocols
- Familiarity with agile tech teams and/or DevOps environments
- Strong communication skills in both Swedish and English
Extra points if you have experience with:
- Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP
- SD-WAN or Zero Trust architecture
- Kubernetes networking (e.g., CNI, Istio)
- Certifications such as CCNA/CCNP, Fortinet NSE, or equivalent
- Shell scripting or programming (Python, Bash, etc.)
- Agile/Scrum and DevOps workflows
Language
Fluent in English, both spoken and written.
