  • CI/CD Integration: Build and maintain Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines specifically for network code to ensure rigorous testing and validation before production deployment.
  • Standardization: Define and enforce network standards across multi-vendor environments (e.g., Cisco, Juniper, F5) using automation to prevent "configuration drift".
  • Monitoring & Observability: Develop automated telemetry and analytics solutions (using tools like Prometheus or Grafana) to proactively identify and remediate network issues.
  • Tool Integration: Connect network automation workflows with other enterprise systems like ServiceNow for ticketing, GitLab for version control, and NetBox as a "Source of Truth".

  • Programming/Scripting: Proficiency in Terraform or Ansible. Experience with automation for Cisco ACI a plus.
  • Automation Tools: Hands-on experience with frameworks such as Ansible, Terraform, Harness, Puppet, or Cisco NSO.
  • Networking Fundamentals: Deep knowledge of TCP/IP, Cisco ACI, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), layer 2 switching, and security (Firewalls, VPNs) is essential.
  • APIs & Data Formats: Experience working with RESTful APIs and data serialization formats like JSON and YAML.
  • Version Control: Mastery of Git for managing code repositories and collaborating with other engineers.
  • Team Player and loves working in a team environment and loves to collaborate.
