Senior Compute Network Engineer

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.
