Network Engineer - Automation

We have an opening for a Network Engineer who will work on traditional network engineering and extensive network automation. You won’t be writing software full-time, but you will be expected to automate the way we configure, deploy, and monitor network infrastructure. If you’re a network engineer who has started building scripts and tooling to eliminate manual work and wants to go deeper on that, this role is built for you.

You’ll also carry hands-on operational responsibilities: participating in infrastructure lifecycle projects, working day-to-day deployments across data centers and offices, troubleshooting complex issues alongside other operations teams, and contributing to security and compliance initiatives including DDoS mitigation and PCI. There is an on-call rotation as part of this role.

About the Team:

The Network Engineering team sits within Technical Operations at Constant Contact. We own the design, deployment, and ongoing operation of network infrastructure across our data centers and corporate offices, spanning WAN edge, switching and routing platforms, wireless, NGFW/IPS/IDS, DDoS mitigation, NAC, load balancers, DNS, inter-DC /inter-office connectivity, and cloud networking. We operate as a 24x7 team with on-call responsibilities.

What You’ll Do:

• Build and maintain tooling to automate network provisioning, configuration, and monitoring

• Participate in hardware lifecycle projects - planning, refreshes, and decommissions
• Contribute to DDoS mitigation strategies and broader network security initiatives
• Support PCI compliance requirements as they relate to network infrastructure
• Collaborate with cloud engineers to deploy and manage network infrastructure on AWS
• Partner with other operations teams to troubleshoot and resolve complex issues
• Generate and maintain accurate network documentation
• Participate in the 24x7 on-call rotation

• 3+ years of network engineering experience in large-scale enterprise and data center environments
• Strong Ansible or Terraform experience is required
• Must be proficient with Python and Bash scripting skills. You take pride in deploying simple, elegant automation solutions
• Experience with Git workflows and CI/CD automation practices
• Linux proficiency, including deploying and operating monitoring tools
• Solid working experience with routing and switching technologies
• Hands-on experience configuring security appliances, switches, and routers; Palo Alto, Juniper (SRX, EX/QFX), and F5 experience strongly preferred
• Understanding of zone-based firewalls and network security principles
• Understanding of load balancing technologies, DNS, and SaaS infrastructure
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS preferred, GCP a plus), including hybrid on-premises and cloud network connectivity
