## About the Role

* Must have: Strong Network Engineering background, with a good understanding of enterprise LAN/WAN, routing, IP networking, DNS, DHCP and network management concepts.

 * Must have: Strong hands-on Python and scripting experience, with evidence of developing network automation, tooling or integration solutions rather than simply executing existing scripts.

 * Must have: Strong API and systems integration experience, particularly REST APIs and integration between network management or enterprise platforms.

 * Strong experience with network monitoring, management and observability within complex enterprise environments.

 * Hands-on experience with one or more of the following platforms, with the ability to work across and integrate a broader network tooling ecosystem:

 * ThousandEyes

 * SolarWinds

 * Infoblox DDI

 * NetBrain

 * ServiceNow

 * Cisco Meraki

 * Cisco Catalyst Center

 * Cisco ISE

 * Experience developing network configuration automation and repeatable automated engineering workflows.

 * Understanding of NetDevOps principles, including Git/source control, CI/CD, testing, and software engineering practices applied to network infrastructure.

 * Experience working with network telemetry, operational data, APIs, and analytics to derive meaningful engineering and operational insights.

 * Understanding of data engineering concepts, including the collection, transformation, normalization, and analysis of data from multiple systems.

 * Understanding of AI/AIOps concepts and how they can be applied to network monitoring, observability, event management and operational automation.

 * Ability to troubleshoot across network, software, API, data, and tooling layers, rather than focusing solely on individual platforms.

 * Experience working within large-scale, complex enterprise network environments.

 * Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with network engineers, software/platform engineers, architects and operational teams.

Desirable Skills & Experience

 * Advanced experience administering and integrating ThousandEyes, SolarWinds, Infoblox DDI and/or NetBrain.

 * Experience developing integrations with ServiceNow, particularly across network events, incident or configuration workflows.

 * Experience with infrastructure/network-as-code and automation frameworks.

 * Experience developing CI/CD pipelines for network configuration, automation or tooling.

 * Experience working with structured network data, telemetry, data engineering, analytics or visualization.

 * Practical experience applying AI/ML or AIOps capabilities within network operations or observability.

 * Experience with cloud networking, APIs and modern cloud-native tooling.

 * Experience with Git-based collaborative development and code review.

Desirable Certifications

 * Cisco CCNP / CCIE

 * Cisco DevNet/Automation Professional or Expert, or equivalent automation/software development certification

 * Infoblox certifications

 * SolarWinds or ThousandEyes platform certifications

 * ServiceNow technical certifications

 * Relevant Python, DevOps, cloud or automation certifications
