Network Engineer

One of i3D.net’s unique selling points is its own global low latency network (AS49544). Your job as Network Engineer within i3D.net is to both manage and build our ever-growing network. This is the place for you if you like a different challenge every day and to be surrounded by talented professionals.

About the Job

Who we are

i3D.net is a leading provider of high-performance, low-latency hosting through a vast, privately-owned global network. As game sector veterans, we know what it takes for a network to withstand heavy demands, and as of 2019, we are a member of the Ubisoft family. Now we’re growing faster than ever, keeping some of the world’s biggest games and WebRTC services online, and their users connected.

The role

As a Network Engineer, you are part of the infrastructure operations team. This department is responsible for maintaining the global network of i3D.net and its internal servers. Primary work will be monitoring, maintaining, and upgrading the network. You manage or participate in projects and inform your direct colleagues about these projects so they can be delivered on time for our customers. Your communication towards customers and colleagues is clear, you manage expectations and help to show them i3D.net’s professional approach to network-related projects. Next to working on our network, you also support all other department colleagues throughout i3D.net and Ubisoft with network-related knowledge.

About you

At i3D.net, who you are is just as important as what you can do. You’ll be a hands-on self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit. You can be your own master and relish the opportunity to structure your days and interconnect with a multitude of people within the organization. You are not only able to spot room for improvement but also know how to implement it. Being structured is what you like most, but you must be able to improvise when plans are not unfolding as they should. Most importantly, you’re a team player who can stand your ground in a fast-paced but fun working environment.

Work environment

You would be part of our Network Infrastructure Operations group. The group consists of both Network Architects and Network Engineers and System Engineers based in Rotterdam, Montreal, Paris, and Los Angeles. i3D.net is not a typical 9 to 5 company but instead, we grant our employees a lot of freedom. We are flexible in working hours and expect you to challenge decisions as they are being made. You will have the chance to work with the latest hardware and (after covid) get to travel to places all around the world to do your job.
