Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a Network Automation Engineer (m/f/d), you will be responsible for the operation and continuous optimization of our network infrastructure (Core, LAN, WLAN, WAN, VPN).
- Transformation & Strategy: While our core is currently based on Cisco, you will drive the consistent transformation towards a vendor-agnostic infrastructure and actively minimize hardware dependencies by building our own IaC environment.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC): You establish declarative workflows based on NetBox as the Single Source of Truth (SSoT) and Ansible to define, version, and deploy network configurations as code.
- CI/CD & Quality: You ensure that configuration changes are consistently implemented via CI/CD pipelines and secured through automated pre-change tests (dry runs).
- Observability: You will advance our Network Observability through Streaming Telemetry to enable proactive error detection and lay the foundation for future Closed-Loop Automations.
- Self-Service & APIs: Through the development of REST APIs, you automate the provisioning of network resources (Self-Service Networking) and eliminate manual sources of error.
- Cloud & SDN: Ideally, you have experience in SDN operations with OpenStack Neutron to seamlessly integrate our private cloud networks into the automation environment.
- Operations: With your expertise, you master troubleshooting in complex, code-based environments, manage external service providers, and support strategic IT network projects.
