Optical transport and SD-WAN software for telecom operators and enterprises
Ekinops builds software-driven network connectivity for service providers scaling optical and virtualized access networks. The tech stack—Robot Framework, GitLab CI/CD, Python, Java, Spring Boot, FRRouting, plus cloud deployment across AWS/Azure/GCP—reflects a mature DevOps-first engineering org shipping both control-plane software and embedded systems. Active projects span DWDM optical transport modernization, SD-WAN management, and centralized network management systems (NMS), with documented pain points around product quality, NMS optimization, and high-session-volume scalability—signals that platform stability and performance are immediate priorities.
Ekinops is a publicly traded (Euronext Paris) software and hardware provider serving telecom operators and enterprises with three core product families: EKINOPS360 (optical transport for metro, regional, and long-haul networks), OneAccess (Layer 2/3 access network functions in physical and virtualized forms), and Compose (SDN/NFV management including SD-WAN Xpress and edge-to-cloud solutions). Headquartered in Lannion, France, the company operates across four continents with 501–1,000 employees. The organization is engineering-heavy (13 of 15 active roles), with senior-level hiring concentration and current focus on CI/CD infrastructure, embedded systems for packet-optical transport, and NMS evolution—particularly in partnership with Orange.
