Join a pioneering force in network automation!
At IP Fabric, we enable people to uncover the truth about their networks. Built by network professionals and industry experts, our innovative solutions are transforming how enterprises manage their networks. As a post-Series B company, we're expanding rapidly across Europe, the U.S., and beyond.
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.
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)
- 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
- 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
- Node.js, TypeScript, Go (optional)
- PostgreSQL, Redis
- RabbitMQ
- Docker, Kubernetes
- GitLab CI, Monorepo (Nx)
- 25 days of holidays + 5 flexi-days.
- Pluxee Flexi Card (up to 16 000 CZK per year)
- Full remote or hybrid role depending on your choice.
- Anniversary rewards.
- Collaboration with diverse, international teams.
- A pet-friendly office at IP Pavlova.
- Complementary and yummy snacks, coffee, brew and refreshments.

What We Do
IP Fabric’s Automated Network Assurance Platform helps companies empower their network engineers to discover, verify, and document large scale enterprise networks within minutes. IP Fabric automates network infrastructure data collection and provides predefined verifications that highlight inconsistencies, misconfigurations and issues within enterprise networks.
With experience and strength across Financial Services, Manufacturing, Logistics, Public Sector and more, we are ready to support businesses in addressing their key network management challenges with a new, analytically driven way of managing your network infrastructure.
Using a unique network model and algorithms, the system reconstructs network state and simulates actual packet flows to detect critical violations, business-impacting inefficiencies, and verifies policy compliance.
Based on graph theory of mathematics, native visualization of all network topologies and protocols provides unparalleled visibility, answering the question about how the network is running. Beautiful documentation and report outputs can be used directly as part of an existing process or managerial reporting requirements
