TL;DR · Infrastructure Automation Engineer

The Infrastructure Automation Engineer joins the network engineering team to support a growing global infrastructure footprint. This role focuses on designing and implementing scalable, automated solutions for managing enterprise network and security infrastructure. The engineer will develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code practices, integrate automation workflows into CI/CD pipelines, and build modular components for multiple environments. Key technologies include Ansible, Python, Bash, Git, and Cisco, Palo Alto, and Infoblox systems. Candidates should also possess experience with APIs, Terraform, and model-driven networking like NETCONF or RESTCONF. The work involves solving complex operational demands by creating reusable frameworks and ensuring end-to-end reliability across a distributed network. This position is critical for maintaining consistent, software-driven operational practices within a large-scale, globally distributed computing environment.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement scalable, automated solutions for managing enterprise network infrastructure.
  • Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using tools like Ansible.
  • Integrate network automation workflows into CI/CD pipelines for consistent deployments.
  • Build and maintain templated configurations and modular automation components for multiple environments.
  • Implement validation, testing, and compliance mechanisms to ensure reliable network changes.
  • Define and drive adoption of standards and reusable frameworks for network automation.
  • Contribute to network architecture and design discussions with a focus on scalability.
  • Mentor team members on modern, software-driven operational practices.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Network Engineering, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in IT network and security engineering, including L2/L3 networking, firewalls, and DDI systems.
  • 3-5 years of experience in an enterprise Network Engineering position focusing on Cisco, Palo Alto, and Infoblox technologies.
  • Strong hands-on experience implementing network automation using Ansible or comparable frameworks to develop reusable roles, playbooks, and templates.
  • Experience integrating infrastructure automation into CI/CD pipelines and using Git-based development practices.
  • Programming or scripting experience in Python or Bash with a focus on APIs and data-driven automation.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform (preferred).
  • Certifications such as Devnet/CCNA/CCNP, PCNSA/PCSAE or equivalent (preferred).
