Python Software Engineer

We are seeking a Python Software Engineer to design, develop, and maintain scalable software platforms for enterprise network and infrastructure management, with a strong focus on DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI/IPAM). This is primarily a software development role focused on building Python services, REST APIs, automation frameworks, and integrations that transform traditionally manual network-management processes into scalable, API-driven and self-service solutions. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with Networking, Datacenter, Compute, Storage, Platform Engineering, DevOps, and SRE teams to deliver reliable and scalable infrastructure software., Python Software Development

• Design, develop, test, and maintain production-quality software using Python.
• Build scalable backend services, APIs, libraries, and automation frameworks for network and infrastructure management.
• Apply modern software engineering practices including code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, Git, API design, and software lifecycle management.
• Develop software capable of operating reliably across multiple datacenters and large-scale infrastructure environments.
• Troubleshoot complex software and distributed-system issues and implement sustainable solutions.

Network Management - DNS, DHCP & IPAM

• Design and develop software solutions supporting enterprise DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI/IPAM).
• Automate IP allocation, reservation, discovery, reclamation, and network-resource lifecycle management.
• Develop APIs and workflows for managing DNS records, DHCP configurations, subnets, address pools, leases, and reservations.
• Integrate DDI/IPAM platforms with compute, networking, provisioning, cloud, and datacenter systems.
• Automate network-resource onboarding and configuration across multiple environments.
• Establish authoritative infrastructure data and source-of-truth models for network resources.

APIs, Automation & Platform Integration

• Design and implement REST APIs and programmatic interfaces for network and infrastructure services.
• Build integrations with infrastructure platforms, CMDBs, provisioning systems, and automation frameworks.
• Develop event-driven and workflow-based automation for infrastructure lifecycle management.
• Build solutions that dynamically allocate and recycle IP addresses and other network resources.
• Integrate network-management services with bare-metal provisioning, PXE/network boot, virtualization, and cloud workflows.
• Enable infrastructure capabilities through APIs and self-service platforms instead of manual operational processes.

Reliability & Observability

• Build monitoring, metrics, logging, and health-check capabilities into network-management services.
• Implement dashboards and alerting using Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or similar technologies.
• Define and monitor service metrics including availability, latency, capacity, error rates, and resource utilization.
• Participate in incident response and root-cause analysis.
• Improve service reliability through automation, testing, observability, and operational tooling.

Software Engineering

• Strong professional experience with Python and software development.
• Experience designing and developing production-grade backend services and applications.
• Strong understanding of:
• Object-oriented and modular software design
• REST API design
• Data structures and algorithms
• Automated testing
• Git and modern development workflows
• CI/CD
• Debugging and performance troubleshooting
• Experience integrating software with external systems through APIs, databases, messaging systems, or event-driven architectures.
• Strong Linux development and troubleshooting skills.

Networking & DDI

• Solid understanding of TCP/IP, subnets, routing, VLANs, DNS, and DHCP.
• Experience with or strong knowledge of IP Address Management (IPAM).
• Understanding of DNS zones, records, resolution, DHCP scopes, leases, reservations, and IP address lifecycle management.
• Experience developing or integrating network-management systems through APIs.
• Ability to translate networking requirements into maintainable software abstractions and automated workflows.

Infrastructure Automation

• Experience with infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible, Puppet, or similar technologies.
• Familiarity with CMDB or infrastructure source-of-truth systems.
• Understanding of bare-metal provisioning and infrastructure lifecycle management.
• Experience building automated infrastructure onboarding and provisioning workflows.

Collaboration & Ownership

• Comfortable working across Software Engineering, Networking, Compute, Storage, Datacenter, and SRE teams.
• Ability to own a software service from architecture and development through deployment and production operations.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to convert ambiguous infrastructure requirements into well-defined software solutions.
• Strong focus on automation, reliability, maintainability, and scalability.

Nice to Have

• Experience with enterprise DDI/IPAM platforms such as:
• Nautobot
• NetBox
• Infoblox
• BlueCat
• Kea DHCP
• BIND
• Experience building network automation or network-management software.
• Experience with FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar Python frameworks.
• Experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases.
• Experience with Kubernetes, containers, and cloud-native application development.
• Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues, or workflow engines.
• Experience building large-scale internal infrastructure platforms or Infrastructure as a Product.
• SRE/DevOps experience.
• Experience working in multi-datacenter or hybrid-cloud environments.
• Familiarity with PXE, network boot, OS imaging, and server bootstrap/provisioning systems.
