Sr. Network Automation Engineer - Hybrid on site 2 days/week Santa Clara CA About the Role Were seeking a hands-on Infrastructure Systems Developer who thrives in building full-stack systems with a focus on network automation. This is not your traditional network engineering role were looking for someone who comes from the DevOps or systems development world and has ventured into networking by building tools platforms and automation frameworks that interact with network infrastructure. You will own the architecture and development of a full-stack system that ingests stores and acts on network telemetry and configuration data from backend frameworks to frontend UI to device interaction and automation. Key Responsibilities Design and architect an end-to-end automation system for network configuration and telemetry. Choose and implement the right technologies: Database: SQL NoSQL or MDM SQL solutions. Backend: Python (FastAPI Flask) Go or similar. Frontend: React Vue or modern JS framework. Build integrations with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Jenkins). Implement configuration management and telemetry collection using Ansible SaltStack or similar tools. Create APIs and services to interface with network devices. Ensure scalable data storage and retrieval for network metadata and telemetry. Collaborate with network engineers DevOps and security teams. Requirements Strong programming skills in Python Go or equivalent languages. Experience designing and building production-level infrastructure systems. Deep understanding of system architecture and software lifecycle. Familiarity with network automation concepts and tools even if not a traditional network engineer. Hands-on experience with: CI/CD: Jenkins or equivalent. Config Management: Ansible Salt. Database systems: SQL and NoSQL (MongoDB PostgreSQL etc.). Frontend frameworks: React Vue or similar. Comfort working across the full stack and owning the entire lifecycle of a system. Nice to Have Exposure to network protocols and device-level APIs (e.g. NETCONF RESTCONF). Experience in telemetry collection parsing and visualization. Contributions to open-source DevOps or automation tools. Experience with MDM/metadata modeling.
