ABOUT US

Join Nebul

Nebul is a leading provider of sovereign-hybrid cloud solutions, combining the security of private infrastructure with the

scalability of global hyperscalers. Rooted in European values of privacy, security, and compliance, Nebul empowers organizations

to adopt AI with confidence. Our technology drives innovation in Generative AI, Digital Twins, and scientific computing.

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 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 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
