Network Automation Engineer (Python + Network APIs)
Bright Vision Technologies
Role Description We are seeking a Network Automation Engineer who blends strong Python development skills with deep networking domain expertise to automate network configuration, change management, and observability across multi-vendor enterprise networks. The role focuses on building production-grade automation using modern network APIs, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD practices that bring software engineering discipline to network operations. The ideal candidate writes idiomatic Python, has shipped network automation in production, and combines networking depth with practical software-engineering rigor. In this role you will work closely with cross-functional partners — product, design, engineering, operations, and business stakeholders — to translate ambiguous requirements into well-engineered solutions, and will be expected to raise the bar through code review, design review, and mentorship of more junior engineers. The successful candidate brings strong engineering discipline, a clear communication style, and a track record of shipping meaningful work that holds up well in production. Key Responsibilities - Design and develop network automation solutions in Python using Netmiko, Nornir, NAPALM, and Scrapli. - Build automation pipelines for configuration management, deployment, and validation across multi-vendor environments. - Develop integrations with network APIs including NETCONF, RESTCONF, gNMI, and vendor-specific APIs. - Implement source-of-truth platforms such as NetBox or Nautobot and drive automation from authoritative data. - Build infrastructure-as-code for network configuration using Ansible, Terraform, and Jinja2 templating. - Implement network testing and validation using pyATS, Genie, Batfish, and Suzieq. - Develop CI/CD pipelines for network changes including pre-deployment validation and rollback. - Build observability and telemetry pipelines using gNMI, streaming telemetry, and modern analytics platforms. - Implement intent-based networking patterns and self-healing network workflows. - Automate compliance and audit workflows across the network estate. - Partner with network engineering teams to identify and automate high-impact manual workflows. - Develop reusable libraries, frameworks, and abstractions adopted across multiple automation efforts. - Mentor network engineers on Python development, software engineering practices, and modern automation patterns. - Stay current with network automation tooling, vendor API evolution, and broader industry developments. Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Networking, or a related field. - Five or more years of network automation experience. - Strong Python development skills including OOP, testing, and packaging. - Deep networking fundamentals including routing, switching, and BGP. - Hands-on experience with Netmiko, NAPALM, Nornir, or Scrapli. - Experience with modern network APIs (NETCONF, RESTCONF, gNMI). - Strong experience with Ansible and Jinja2 templating for network automation. - Familiarity with NetBox, Nautobot, or other source-of-truth platforms. - Strong Git-based workflows and CI/CD experience. - Excellent communication and collaboration skills. Preferred Qualifications - Cisco DevNet or vendor automation certifications. - Experience with multi-vendor networks (Cisco, Arista, Juniper). - Familiarity with streaming telemetry and modern observability stacks. - Open-source contributions to network automation projects. - Experience with cloud networking automation in addition to on-premises.
