Senior Engineer - ESD

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

We are seeking a highly experienced engineer to join our Edge Services team, responsible for building and evolving Megaport’s edge compute platform. This platform underpins our Virtual Network Function (VNF) products and the networking systems that power them globally.

In this role, you will operate at the intersection of distributed systems, networking, and cloud-native infrastructure. You will be a key technical leader shaping the compute and networking stack, driving architectural decisions, and ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance across our edge platform. Beyond deep technical contribution, you will act as a central advisor within your domain - guiding strategy, mentoring engineers, and influencing outcomes across teams.
