Job Title

Network DevOps Engineer — Phoenix Squad (senior)

Role overview

This is an engineering-focused Agile role with limited operational interrupt work and responsibility for delivering scalable, future-proof network solutions in a large enterprise environment. The role focuses on building new capabilities for Office Network services, platform evolution, and developing automation, Infrastructure as Code and internal platforms for network operations.

Language: English mandatory

Responsibilities

• Design and deliver new network features and services.
• Contribute to designs, standards and reference architectures.
• Translate refined features (PBIs) into working technical solutions independently (~90%).
• Build automation, IaC and internal tools/platforms for network deployment and management.
• Develop reusable code and integrate with APIs and external systems.
• Validate solutions (testing, pre/post checks) and ensure production readiness.
• Stay involved post-delivery to ensure high-quality handover to operations.
• Act as escalation point (L3+) for complex technical challenges.
• Collaborate with the Office Networking Squad to deliver maintainable and operable solutions.
• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies focused on backlog and roadmap delivery.

Must-have skills

• Strong understanding of enterprise networking fundamentals.
• Good understanding of SD-WAN architectures, including overlays and underlying connectivity (e.g. IPsec, segmentation, routing behaviour).
• Experience with authentication and NAC concepts (e.g. 802.1X, RADIUS, ClearPass-level understanding).
• Strong Python development skills (beyond scripting; structured, reusable code).
• Experience building and maintaining automation frameworks and/or internal tools.
• Experience with REST APIs and system integration.
• Strong experience with Git-based workflows.
• Ability to take ownership of features from refinement to delivery.
• Strong communication skills and ability to challenge design decisions constructively.

Preferred skills

• Experience with Aruba SD-Branch, Aruba Central and/or Aruba ClearPass (or comparable enterprise networking / SD-WAN / NAC platforms).
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (designing and maintaining, not just using).
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps ways of working.
• Understanding of broader infrastructure context (integration with other platforms/services).
• Experience with Kong API gateway.
• Knowledge about AzDo pipelines and Azure functions.

Candidate profile

• Strong engineer with both networking and development capability, comfortable at the intersection of network engineering and software development.
• Proactive and ownership-driven.
• Focused on engineering quality and long-term solutions.
• Capable of working independently from refined requirements.
• Comfortable building scalable, reusable solutions.
• Able to challenge existing designs and improve them.
• Focused on delivering impact, not just output.
• This role is aimed at senior-level engineers who can contribute to technical direction and help shape the future of the platform.

Key characteristics

• ~50/50 networking and development mindset
• Focus on innovation, automation and platform evolution
• Limited operational work, except for major escalations
• Strong emphasis on quality, scalability and maintainability
• Responsible for delivering solutions that are usable and manageable by operations teams

Eisen

• AzDo pipelines
• CI/CD
• Python
• REST API
