Summary
6-month contract for an experienced Network Automation & Tooling Engineer to work within a well-established automation engineering team supporting a major corporate network separation programme. Remote/Westbridge based, inside IR35.
Full Job Description
A large corporate undergoing a major network separation programme is looking for experienced Network Automation & Tooling Engineers who can strengthen its well-established automation engineering team. The programme involves splitting network infrastructure between the retained and divested parts of the business, and this team sits at the heart of that delivery. It is a busy, high-profile environment where solid engineering discipline and a collaborative approach really count.
Your remit covers the build and operation of automated pipelines that stand up, verify and keep network infrastructure in good health, together with the complete set of tools needed to manage, monitor and alert on the network that the retained and divested businesses both depend on.
You will be working within an established automation environment whose core stack is Python, Nautobot, Terraform and CI/CD tooling, so a solid grasp of these technologies is essential. The environment moves quickly and the team is expected to roll out network change capability and supporting tooling at speed, so a pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset is important.
This is a six-month engagement offered on an inside-IR35 basis with a negotiable day rate, and it can be delivered remotely with the option of time in Westbridge. If you enjoy working in automation-driven network teams on high-profile separation work, we would like to hear from you.
Requirements:
- Hands-on experience building and operating automated network provisioning and validation pipelines
- Strong Python development skills
- Terraform experience for infrastructure as code
- Working knowledge of Nautobot or a similar network source-of-truth platform
- Experience with CI/CD tooling and pipelines
- Background in network management, monitoring and alerting tooling
- Ability to deliver network changes quickly in a large-scale programme environment
