The engineer will build automation for provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management while creating API-driven integrations between network platforms and internal systems. Key responsibilities include developing automation frameworks to reduce operational toil and translating manual procedures into codified, repeatable workflows. Required technical skills include Python development using Django, Flask, or FastAPI; experience with Infrastructure as Code tools like Ansible and GitHub; and proficiency in private or hybrid cloud platforms. The role also involves utilizing AI-assisted development tools for system design and testing while ensuring all automation artifacts meet high standards for performance, maintainability, and security within a software-defined infrastructure environment.

  • Design and build automation for provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle management of network and cryptographic infrastructure.
  • Develop API-driven integrations between network platforms and internal systems.
  • Create and maintain automation frameworks to improve system reliability and reduce operational toil.
  • Translate manual operational procedures into codified, repeatable, and scalable automated workflows.
  • Lead the automation of product deployments and create APIs for load balancing services.
  • Integrate AI-assisted development tools to accelerate system design, coding, testing, and troubleshooting.
  • Ensure all automation artifacts comply with performance, maintainability, security, and compliance standards.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of Software Engineering experience or equivalent through work, training, military service, or education.
  • 5+ years of Python development experience using Django, Flask, or FastAPI.
  • 2+ years of experience with private cloud or hybrid platforms and building infrastructure programmatically with IaC tools.
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with Ansible and GitHub.
  • Experience automating infrastructure platforms, developing self-service capabilities, and managing operational workflows (preferred).
  • 5+ years of experience with Agile, CI/CD, DevOps concepts, and SRE principles (preferred).
  • Expertise in microservices, RESTful APIs, event-driven architectures, and modern front-end frameworks like React or Angular (preferred).
  • Experience with workflow platforms (Temporal, Camunda, Cadence), Unix/Linux systems, and infrastructure services like PKI or load balancing (preferred).
