Who You Are
Sr. Network Automation Engineer Hybrid on site
Santa Clara CA
What We Need to See (MustHave Skills)
46 years in network engineering with experience designing and automating complex networks.
46 years of automation experience with Python Go Ansible Terraform and CI/CD tooling.
Proven ability to automate Arista EOS and Cumulus Linux environments.
Experience with firewall automation particularly Palo Alto (Terraform PanOS Python SDK APIs).
Familiarity with GitOps version control and pipelinebased change management.
Strong understanding of BGP OSPF VXLAN EVPN and multivendor networking principles.
Who You Are
You ve built complex automation stacks that deploy validate and secure networks at scale from Day 0 provisioning to Day 2 operations. You re not just comfortable in multivendor environments you thrive in them.
Whether it s Arista EOS Cumulus Linux or Palo Alto firewalls you know how to make them work together through automation.
You believe that networks should be programmable observable and intelligent by design.
You write code with reliability in mind and see every problem as a chance to build something better.
You re collaborative creative and relentlessly curious just like us.
What You ll Be Doing
Automating Global Network Deployments
Design and develop automated workflows for provisioning configuration and upgrades across switches routers and firewalls.
Use tools like Ansible Terraform Nornir SaltStack and programming languages like Python or Go to automate every stage of network lifecycle Day 0 to Day N.
Automate configuration and policy deployment for Palo Alto firewalls Arista EOS NVIDIA Cumulus and Cisco platforms using Jinja2 templates and CI/CD pipelines.
Building a Network that Validates Itself
Implement state validation and compliance enforcement using tools like pyATS Batfish SuzieQ and OpenConfig/YANG models.
Develop drift detection remediation logic and enforce zerotrust configurations at scale. Driving APIDriven & EventBased Automation
Build integrations using RESTful APIs gNMI NETCONF and custom toolchains to orchestrate provisioning and policy enforcement.
Implement eventdriven architectures using Kafka RabbitMQ or webhooks for realtime responsiveness. Implementing GitOps and CI/CD for Networking
Build and maintain GitOpsbased pipelines using GitHub Actions Jenkins or GitLab CI to drive configuration delivery.
Leverage IaC principles to enable automated rollbacks testing and disaster recovery. Powering Observability & SelfHealing Systems
Integrate streaming telemetry (gNMI OpenTelemetry ELK Prometheus InfluxDB) to enable realtime observability.
Automate log correlation anomaly detection and corrective actions for selfhealing infrastructure. Collaborating Documenting and Leading
Work crossfunctionally with DevOps security and network architecture teams to shape automation strategy.
Document frameworks mentor engineers and champion best practices in NetDevOps.
Nice to Have (Bonus Points For)
Experience with CVP (CloudVision Portal) and Cumulus NetQ.
Exposure to streaming telemetry and eventdriven architecture.
Familiarity with cloud networking across AWS Azure or GCP.
Experience with network inventory management (NetBox/Nautobot).
Understanding of SASE/SSE architectures zerotrust security and automated policy enforcement.
