Network Automation Engineer - Remote Position

About the Role

We are seeking a talented Network Automation Engineer to join our team remotely. This Network Automation Engineer remote position offers the chance to design and implement advanced network automation and orchestration platforms across both enterprise and tactical environments. You will apply software engineering and infrastructure automation principles to networking, enabling consistent, repeatable, and efficient deployment, configuration, and validation of network infrastructure.

What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and deploy scalable network automation workflows for routers, firewalls, load balancers, and other network functions.
• Configure overlay and underlay networks in virtualized and hybrid environments, ensuring connectivity, routing, and policy compliance.
• Convert manual deployment procedures into parameterized, reusable Infrastructure-as-Code pipelines.
• Automate configuration management, policy enforcement, certificate lifecycle management, and compliance validation.
• Implement configuration drift detection, self-healing workflows, and operational monitoring for distributed systems.
• Collaborate with platform, networking, and infrastructure teams to integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines and broader platform initiatives.
• Document deployment standards, automation frameworks, and operational procedures.
• Troubleshoot complex network, routing, and segmentation issues across multi-vendor environments.

Requirements

• 3+ years of network engineering experience and 5+ years in network automation using Ansible.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure or networking.
• Proficiency in Linux administration fundamentals.
• Experience with network APIs and data models, including REST, NETCONF, RESTCONF, YANG, and OpenConfig.
• Familiarity with distributed systems concepts such as leader election, state replication, and distributed queues.
• Experience with clustering or coordination tools such as Akka, Raft, Zookeeper, or Redis.
• Knowledge of TCP/IP networking, routing, segmentation, VPNs, and virtualized/containerized network functions.
• Strong troubleshooting, problem-solving, and operational support skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with high-availability networks, network observability platforms, SDR or tactical RF deployments, and testing automation in network simulation environments (e.g., GNS3, EVE-NG, Containerlab).

What We Offer

• Competitive salary based on experience and location.
• Fully remote work with flexibility to support work-life balance.
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage.
• Retirement plan with company matching.
• Professional development opportunities and mentorship.
• Travel opportunities (approximately 30-50%) for operational support, training, and collaboration.
• Access to cutting-edge networking, automation, and cloud technologies.

Join us as a Network Automation Engineer remote and contribute to next-generation automation strategies while solving complex networking challenges. We appreciate your interest and wish you the best!
