About Elio Networks

Elio Networks is transforming how properties are connected with high-performance fibre infrastructure. As a fast-growing and lean organisation, our culture is built around ownership — team members are responsible not just for planning but also for implementing and delivering results.

We are entering the next phase of our evolution by embedding AI and automation into our core operations, enabling smarter decisions, greater efficiency, and scalable growth.

To help lead this transformation, we are hiring our first AI & Automation Engineer.

Role Overview
