• Develop integrations with network APIs including NETCONF, RESTCONF, gNMI, and vendor-specific APIs.
• Implement source-of-truth platforms such as NetBox or Nautobot and drive automation from authoritative data.
• Build infrastructure-as-code for network configuration using Ansible, Terraform, and Jinja2 templating.
• Implement network testing and validation using pyATS, Genie, Batfish, and Suzieq.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines for network changes including pre-deployment validation and rollback.
• Build observability and telemetry pipelines using gNMI, streaming telemetry, and modern analytics platforms.
• Implement intent-based networking patterns and self-healing network workflows that let the network express desired state declaratively and converge toward it automatically when drift or failures occur.
• Automate compliance and audit workflows across the network estate, generating evidence on demand and continuously verifying that network configuration matches the policies the organization has committed to.
• Partner with network engineering teams to identify and automate high-impact manual workflows.
• Develop reusable libraries, frameworks, and abstractions adopted across multiple automation efforts.
• Mentor network engineers on Python development, software engineering practices, and modern automation patterns.
• Stay current with network automation tooling, vendor API evolution, and broader industry developments.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Networking, or a related field.
• Five or more years of network automation experience.
• Strong Python development skills including OOP, testing, and packaging.
• Deep networking fundamentals including routing, switching, and BGP.
• Hands-on experience with Netmiko, NAPALM, Nornir, or Scrapli.
• Experience with modern network APIs (NETCONF, RESTCONF, gNMI).
• Strong experience with Ansible and Jinja2 templating for network automation.
• Familiarity with NetBox, Nautobot, or other source-of-truth platforms.
• Strong Git-based workflows and CI/CD experience.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Cisco DevNet or vendor automation certifications.
• Experience with multi-vendor networks (Cisco, Arista, Juniper).
• Familiarity with streaming telemetry and modern observability stacks.
