  • Demonstrated experience in large enterprise or ISP/telco network environments, including MPLS (L3VPN, L2VPN/VPWS, LDP/SR) and core routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF and IS-IS on carrier-grade platforms including Cisco IOS-XR.
  • Strong troubleshooting capability across complex distributed environments, with the ability to diagnose issues across underlay and overlay networks and identify root causes effectively.

What We Do

Aussie Broadband is in business to change the telco game. We're a rapidly growing internet service provider with a reputation for providing high-quality internet, transparent customer service and a great place to work. We are proud to have an all-Australian based support team, and don't need to go offshore. We believe it is possible to work smarter, not harder, and keep jobs locally. We've evolved from a start-up in a lounge room in Morwell, later merging with Westvic Broadband, and now listed on the ASX. We are the fifth largest provider of NBN services across Australia. We offer a range of services across the residential, small business and enterprise segments, wholesale and white label segments. Aussie Broadband is also well-known for operating a quality network, with the rollout of our own fibre network across Australia underway. We not only challenge the game in telco, but also other games worth playing - like a focus on inclusion, values that live within the business rather than on the walls, how a rapidly growing company can still feel like a family, how we can make our communities better, and how a regional business can make a national impact.
