Who You Are

Sr. Network Automation Engineer - Hybrid on site 2 days/week

Santa Clara, CA

About the Role : First off, you must pass the HackerRank coding Test
We’re seeking a   hands-on Infrastructure Systems Developers with work experience at Enterprise companies and global footprint, who thrives in building full-stack systems with a focus on   network automation. This is not your traditional network engineering role — we’re 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.
