Job description

We are seeking a highly hands-on Senior Network Automation Engineer to eliminate manual network configurations and drive Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). You will translate low-level designs into production-grade automation workflows, building robust CI/CD pipelines for mission-critical Cisco data centers.

What You’ll Do

Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines for automated network changes and migrations.
Champion GitOps principles, treating Git as the ultimate source of truth with strict pipeline gates and automated rollbacks.
Integrate automation seamlessly across enterprise platforms including NDFC, NetBox, ServiceNow, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

Requirements

Networking: Deep expertise in Cisco NX-OS, VXLAN BGP-EVPN, vPC, and Cisco NDFC.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
Automation: Python (REST APIs, data modeling), YAML, JSON, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP).
CI/CD & Testing: GitHub/GitLab workflows, pyATS, and Genie for pre- and post-change validation.
Governance: Experience working in strictly regulated environments requiring detailed LLD documentation (FCA / PRA standards).
