About the role
We're hiring a Network Automation Software Lead to build and own the end-to-end zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) and automation platform that stands up and operates our GPU network fabrics and to lead the small team of engineers and SREs building it. The goal is zero human intervention and full fabric validation : a switch goes from rack-and-stack to production-ready automatically, ensuring every link across the fabric is validated against the plan and spec. Our Network Engineering team is your customer ; you build the platform, they run the network on top of it. You'll report to a Software Engineering Lead, which means this is real software engineering, not scripts bolted onto a NOC. Source control, testing, CI/CD, code review, release management, and on-call are the baseline. You'll also be responsible for making sure the platform integrates cleanly with the rest of our software and platform tooling.
What you'll bring
- 8+ years
- of relevant experience
- Proven experience building network automation at scale
- You've built or been a core contributor to a ZTP / device-provisioning system end-to-end, not just maintained one.
- Strong software engineering fundamentals: Python and/or Go, with real production practices (version control, testing, CI/CD, code review).
- Fluency with modern network automation tech: gNMI/gNOI, OpenConfig/YANG, NETCONF
- source-of-truth systems (NetBox / Nautobot)
- NOS platforms (SONiC/FRR or vendor equivalents)
- tooling like Nornir / NAPALM / Ansible.
- Experience with observability / telemetry pipelines (Prometheus, Grafana, Kafka, OpenTelemetry, or similar).
- Comfort running services on Kubernetes / containers.
- Leadership
