Software Engineer – Network Critical Infrastructure & Engineering

Location: Dublin, IRL

Job Type: Full-time

About the team and the role

At eBay, we’re tackling complex infrastructure challenges that few companies have yet to encounter — scaling global datacenter networks, deploying next-generation technologies, and automating operations at massive scale.

Our Network Critical Infrastructure & Engineering Software team builds tools and systems that enable intelligent, automated management of eBay’s network infrastructure. We operate in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where engineers innovate, experiment, and push boundaries.

As a Software Engineer, you’ll design and develop automation frameworks, monitoring systems, and AI-driven solutions that redefine how large-scale networks are managed — reducing human intervention and increasing reliability across eBay’s global infrastructure.

What you will accomplish

• Lead the full lifecycle of software projects — from requirements gathering through design, development, testing, and deployment.
• Build and maintain tools that automate network lifecycle management and infrastructure deployment.
• Develop and configure monitoring systems to support network engineering operations.
• Implement new features, fix issues, and maintain high standards of software quality and test coverage.
• Model, manage, and analyze network data to improve automation and operational efficiency.
• Collaborate with engineers across infrastructure, operations, and AI teams to develop innovative solutions.

What you will bring

• 5+ years of software development experience, with at least 3 years in project or functional leadership.
• Proficiency in Go, Java, and Python, with strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes, and time-series databases (TSDB).
• Proficient in SDLC protocols, data modeling, and systems integration.
• Working knowledge of UNIX/Linux environments and familiarity with network protocols (TCP/IP, routing, switching).
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience in the field.

Preferred qualifications

• Familiarity with LLM-based tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude Code) for engineering productivity.
• Experience with Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller or Adobe Flex.
• Strong understanding of network automation, monitoring frameworks, and large-scale distributed systems.

Location and work model

This role follows eBay’s hybrid work model, requiring three days per week in the office (unless otherwise stated).

The cool part

• Work on modern automation technologies powering one of the world’s largest e-commerce infrastructures.
• Collaborate with experienced engineers across networking, AI, and systems development.
• Compose eBay’s next-generation network management and monitoring solutions — at global scale.
