Keen to join a company that champions growth and development?

Join a specialist technology provider delivering provisioning, management, and security solutions for data centres, helping customers streamline operations, improve customer experience, and stay competitive through innovative products and services.

The company is looking for a Network Automation Engineer to design and build high-speed, low-latency network fabrics for large-scale GPU-accelerated computing. The role focuses on Network-as-Code and 400G and 800G connectivity, supporting advanced AI and LLM workloads in a high-performance engineering environment.

Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity and apply today!


Responsibilities:

  • Driving the Automation Roadmap: You will be leading the transition from manual network management to a fully declarative, GitOps-driven deployment model.
  • Optimising AI Clusters: You will be writing sophisticated code to manage and monitor InfiniBand and RoCEv2 fabrics, ensuring zero-packet-loss for massive GPU training jobs.
  • Building Source of Truth: You will be integrating NetBox or Nautobot into the heart of the deployment pipeline to ensure the network is always synchronised with the intended state.
  • Proactive Monitoring: You will be developing custom telemetry tools and streaming pipelines to provide real-time visibility into the performance of thousands of interconnected nodes.


Skills/Must Have:

  • The Automation Toolbox: Expert-level Python (not just scripting, but building tools) and deep experience with Ansible, Terraform, or SaltStack.
  • High-Scale Networking: A strong foundation in BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, and specific experience with InfiniBand or RDMA (RoCEv2).
  • CI/CD Pipeline Expertise: Experience building and maintaining pipelines in GitLab CI or GitHub Actions, specifically for network infrastructure.
  • Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): A proven track record of managing datacenter networks through code and version control rather than the console.
  • The "Problem Solver" DNA: A background in large-scale DataCenter environments (Hyper-scalers, FinTech, or HPC) where performance is the primary metric.


Benefits:

  • Equity - $10/20,000 options
  • Health cover - 90% cover for employee and 75% for dependents 


Salary:

  • $230,000 base salary
