About the Role
Were looking for a developer who lives at the intersection of network engineering and software automation. Youll build and maintain automation that improves the reliability security and velocity of our network operationsspanning firewalls switching and core network services. Day to day youll work in Python and Ansible to automate device configuration and workflows and use JavaScript to extend and integrate ServiceNow for network change asset and incident processes. If APIs SNMP and vendor SDKs are your comfort zoneand names like Palo Alto Networks HPE Comware and Aruba ring a bellyoull feel right at home.
