The role: Network Engineering Manager APAC / Network Team Lead APAC
We are looking for a Staff Network Engineer / Player-Coach Team Lead to lead the growth, deployment, and operational execution of our APAC Network Infrastructure emerging team. In this role, you will combine direct people leadership with high-end technical expertise. You will lead a growing regional team of 2–5 jun/mid-to-senior network engineers, driving their professional development, cross-project prioritization across our Global Network, and overall execution aligned with global business objectives, with a priority on the APAC Region and backbone network development across EU and the US for APAC.
As a hands-on technical manager, you will remain deeply embedded in engineering execution, dedicating approximately 50–70% of your time to hands-on engineering during your first year, with the role evolving naturally alongside organizational scale and regional team expansion.
Crucially, this position demands a high degree of operational autonomy. Due to the timezone differences, you will serve as the primary regional networking authority, bridging global network architecture defined with our EU/EMEA/the US engineering headquarters and regional execution across APAC colocation sites, cable landings, and data centers.
This position is remote within the APAC region (with preferred hubs in India, Singapore), with regular visits to regional DC facilities and our European headquarters in Amsterdam.
