Senior Network Engineer

Job Description

Senior Network Engineer – Shape the Network Services Behind the Nordics

Would you like your engineering work to reach far beyond a single platform or customer? At GlobalConnect, you’ll help shape network services on infrastructure that carries more than half of Scandinavia’s internet connections — connecting businesses, hospitals and public services. This is an opportunity to combine practical engineering with service design and turn complex network needs into reliable solutions that work on a Nordic scale.

Build services that people and businesses rely on every day

As our Senior Network Engineer – Underlay & Service Development, you’ll work at the intersection of network engineering, technology and product. Your focus will be to turn service concepts into repeatable, scalable network offerings across our Nordic infrastructure.

Your day could start with discussing what a new service needs to offer customers. From there, you might translate those needs into an underlay architecture, define service models and configuration templates, or validate a new setup in the lab. Later, you could work with OSS/BSS, Security, Operations or a technology supplier to make sure automation, observability and operational requirements are covered before launch.

You’ll work across technologies including BGP, MPLS, EVPN and Segment Routing, while using automation and APIs to make provisioning more consistent and scalable. You’ll also contribute throughout the service lifecycle — from technical design and validation to launch, documentation and ongoing improvements.

In short, you’ll help turn good network engineering into services that customers can depend on.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Designing and evolving underlay architecture for new and existing network services.
• Translating service requirements into scalable architectures, service models, configuration templates and APIs.
• Building automation and OSS integrations using technologies such as Python, Ansible, YANG/NETCONF, gNMI and REST.
• Running lab validation and pilots, followed by post-launch tuning and service lifecycle work.
• Working across Product, OSS/BSS, NOC, Security and suppliers to establish service KPIs, acceptance criteria and smooth operational handovers.

Join the team behind the Nordics’ digital infrastructure

You’ll join a Nordic group of experienced network engineers working with Internet, IP-VPN, L2 and DDoS mitigation services. Knowledge sharing is a natural part of the job, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to exchange ideas with colleagues in engineering, product and operations.

Why GlobalConnect?

Our fiber and network infrastructure forms part of the digital foundation of Scandinavia, carrying connections used by organizations ranging from smaller businesses to hospitals, enterprises and public services.

That scale creates interesting engineering problems — and room to explore new technologies, improve how services are built and automated, and broaden your knowledge across the Nordics.

To thrive here, we think you need:

• 5+ years of experience in carrier or large-enterprise networking, including practical underlay work supporting telecom services.
• Deep technical knowledge of technologies such as BGP, MPLS L3VPN/L2VPN, EVPN, Segment Routing and OSPF/IS-IS, plus experience with multi-tenant services, wholesale interconnects or peering.
• Practical experience connecting networks with OSS/BSS, orchestration platforms or service controllers using technologies such as REST APIs and YANG/NETCONF.
• Experience with vendors such as Cisco, Juniper, Nokia or Arista is relevant.
• Fluent in English, fluency in a Scandinavian language is a plus.
• Based in either Copenhagen, Stockholm, Uppsala, or Oslo, where we have our offices.

Ready to help shape what runs underneath the connected Nordics?

If you’re motivated by solving substantial technical problems, sharing knowledge and seeing your engineering become reliable services used across society, this could be your next step. At GlobalConnect, you’ll have room to deepen your technical skills while contributing to network infrastructure that matters every day.
