About The Role
We are looking for a senior backend engineer to join our Network Automation team (NAE) at IP Fabric. Our mission is to automatically discover and model complex networks in a unified way. We're currently redesigning our core Discovery Service — a system that traverses unknown graphs of network devices — and migrating our architecture to Docker and Kubernetes.

We're currently redesigning our core Discovery Service — a system that traverses unknown graphs of network devices — and migrating our architecture to Docker and Kubernetes.
You’ll play a key role in shaping the future of this platform, from architecture to implementation. Most of your time will be hands-on (90%+), but with strong impact on design decisions. You'll work independently, have ownership of the codebase from the ground up, and bring your ideas and experience to the table.
We don’t expect you to be an expert in everything — but we’re looking for an experienced engineer with a strong distributed systems mindset, capable of designing and delivering resilient backend services, and eager to explore new technologies like Go.
What You’ll Do
- Design and implement distributed backend systems for network data discovery and processing
- Participate in the architectural redesign of our Discovery Service
- Lead the migration of existing services to Docker and Kubernetes
- Take part in designing deployment and scaling strategies
- Work hands-on with Node.js/TypeScript and optionally Go
- Collaborate with other backend, frontend and network engineers
- Improve reliability, observability, and performance of our systems
- Integrate messaging, caching, and database systems (RabbitMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL)
What You'll Need
- 6+ years of backend engineering experience
- Proven experience designing and building distributed systems
- Excellent programming skills in TypeScript/Node.js or Golang
- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD practices
- Solid understanding of networking concepts (IP, routing, protocols)
- Self-starter mindset and ability to work independently
- Passion for clean code and robust system architecture
- Willingness to take ownership and bring new ideas
Bonus Points If You Have
- Experience with Go
- Previous exposure to network automation tools or platforms
- Used Sentry before
- Used grammars to implement parsers
- Worked with big data, etl
- Microservices architecture
- k8s on-premise deployment
Our Stack
- Node.js, TypeScript, Go (optional)
- PostgreSQL, Redis
- RabbitMQ
- Docker, Kubernetes
- GitLab CI, Monorepo (Nx)
Benefits & Perks
