About IP Fabric

Join a pioneering force in network automation!

At IP Fabric, we enable people to uncover the truth about their networks. Built by network professionals and industry experts, our innovative solutions are transforming how enterprises manage their networks. As a post-Series B company, we're expanding rapidly across Europe, the U.S., and beyond.

About the Role

At IP Fabric, we help the world's largest enterprises understand and assure their networks. Behind our product is a platform our engineering teams rely on every day, and that is where you come in.

As an Infra Ops Engineer , you'll join a small, hands-on infrastructure team that runs our internal platform: Hetzner infrastructure, Linux servers, hypervisors, all managed as code with Puppet and Ansible. You'll keep things reliable, share on-call (business hours only), and above all make things better : leading infra projects that make engineering faster, automating repetitive work and increasing resiliency.

We see internal engineers as our customers. Communication, ownership and a proactive, helpful attitude matter here as much as technical skill.

What You'll Do

Support engineering as our customer , with the infrastructure they need.

Own and deliver significant infrastructure projects end to end, from proposal and planning through rollout and documentation

Bring fresh ideas and challenge the status quo constructively

Take part in a weekly, business-hours on-call rotation : handle requests from engineers, respond to monitoring alerts and run upgrades

Improve monitoring, alerting and observability so issues are caught before engineers notice them

Share knowledge through documentation, runbooks and pairing, to raise the team's bus factor

What You'll Need
