Job Summary

We are seeking a Infrastructure Automation Engineer who blends strong Python development skills with deep networking domain expertise to automate network configuration, change management, and observability across multi-vendor enterprise networks. The role focuses on building production-grade automation using modern network APIs, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD practices that bring software engineering discipline to network operations. The ideal candidate writes idiomatic Python, has shipped network automation in production, and combines networking depth with practical software-engineering rigor. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production.

Required Qualifications

• 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.
• Open-source contributions to network automation projects.
• Experience with cloud networking automation in addition to on-premises.
