About the role

  • In this role, you will leverage your expertise in networking and software engineering to automate the provisioning and management of complex data center network environments.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks that simplify network provisioning and lifecycle management across global infrastructure.
  • Contribute to architectural design discussions, ensuring automation is built for long-term maintainability and scalability.
  • Develop software in Python and leverage tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and Jinja2 to implement software-driven network designs/IaC practices.
  • Build APIs and tooling to expose networking capabilities as self-service interfaces for engineering teams.
  • Implement observability and telemetry workflows for network performance and availability using modern monitoring stacks.
  • Collaborate with Network Engineering, Security, and Platform teams to deliver resilient and scalable automation solutions.
  • You will collaborate closely with network engineers, platform engineers, and security teams to ensure that our networking stack is reliable, secure, and efficient.
  • You will lead the design and implementation of automation solutions that support large-scale compute infrastructure, drive architectural decisions, and raise the bar on how modern networks are programmatically managed.
  • You will own meaningful projects end-to-end, from design through production.

Requirements

  • Proven experience spanning software development and network engineering, with direct ownership of automation and tooling projects.
  • Experience with API design, service integration, or platform engineering.
