Packet (Network) Wrangler

In 2012 we started dabbling in BGP, and today we support over 10,000 switchports across 10 locations in three regions. At peak, we serve over 75Gbit/sec from our global anycast CDN. We are looking for someone special to join our team to help us achieve our goal to power over half the web; we’re currently at 23%. Our current network runs primarily on Juniper MX routers and Arista switches, so large-scale, production experience with those platforms is a must. Automation and consistency are also paramount, so scripting excellence in the networking context is required. Lastly, we are aggressively expanding our peering relationships, so if you have the experience and industry contacts to help with that in addition to the other requirements, lets chat.
