As a member of the Tools team within the Network Services Department, you will play a key role in designing and developing innovative self-service and automation tools that enhance the productivity and quality of network infrastructure tasks. Our Network Tools portfolio comprises custom-built software solutions that empower network teams with automation capabilities, intuitive dashboards, and self-service features, ultimately driving efficiency and excellence in enterprise network infrastructure operations. This position offers an exciting opportunity to balance technical development expertise with lead responsibilities, working with modern technologies like GoLang, Python, React, and OpenShift Container Platform. You'll collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions while leading DevOps practices and driving technical decision-making for our automation tools ecosystem. While we prefer candidates with all listed skills, we highly value a learning mindset and will consider strong candidates who demonstrate the ability to quickly acquire missing technical skills with a can-do, find-a-way approach. You must have a minimum of 5+ years of overall software development experience with strong proficiency in GoLang, Python, and React (minimum 3 years each), plus SQL proficiency and demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives. Proven experience in developing automation solutions (preferably Network automation) and modern frontend development with CSS customization is essential. Experience with or willingness to quickly learn OpenShift Container Platform architecture, application deployment, resource management, and basic CI/CD pipelines is required. Additionally, experience in developing and managing APIs, with basic Linux/Unix familiarity for legacy application support, and basic Perl knowledge for legacy migrations to GoLang is preferred. Key responsibilities include being an active hands-on software developer with excellent troubleshooting and analytical capabilities, willingness to lead technical initiatives and project coordination responsibilities, and a self-motivated individual with strong communication skills, fluent in English, and demonstrated ability to rapidly acquire new technological skills through experimentation and innovative problem-solving. Advanced DevOps experience with Tekton CI/CD pipelines, ArgoCD GitOps workflows, Git (GitHub/GitLab), and Jira project management is a nice-to-have skill. Experience with security and code quality tools (e.g., SonarQube), and AI-powered development tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot), cloud-native development experience in GCP (CaaS environments) or Azure (Microsoft services integration), knowledge of networking concepts (TCP/IP, Cisco equipment), Observability, AIOps concepts and tools, and prior experience in network infrastructure operations or CCNA certification are additional desirable skills. In summary, this role requires a strong technical background in software development, automation solutions, modern frontend development, and the ability to lead technical initiatives while demonstrating excellent communication skills and a proactive learning attitude.,
