About Megaport
We’re not your typical tech company – and we don’t want to be. Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (NaaS), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other. We’re publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more. Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 600 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.
Our Team Culture
We’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.
We’re committed to increasing representation in the tech industry and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Don’t meet every requirement? That’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Compute Networking, this role is responsible for the design, build and ongoing evolution of the data centre network fabrics that underpin Latitude's bare metal and accelerated compute platform. You'll work across leaf-spine fabrics, GPU and storage networks, and the automation that keeps them consistent at scale - partnering with internal engineering teams, vendors and integration partners to deliver infrastructure that is fast, predictable and operable.

This is the first Compute Networking role based in Australia. You'll be the local anchor point for the region and will work day to day with the existing team in Brazil, so comfort operating across time zones, and a degree of self-sufficiency, matters as much as the technical depth.
