About the Role

This is a DevOps-first position within a NetDevOps partnership model. Network engineers own the network configuration and policy layer; this role owns the automation, CI/CD pipelines, and self-service tooling that let those changes ship safely. You will not be doing traditional network engineering — you are the software/platform engineering counterpart in the partnership.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins, including custom Groovy shared libraries
• Deploy and manage applications on OpenShift (Kubernetes) using Helm charts
• Design and support GitOps workflows that enable network engineers to self-service infrastructure changes
• Write production-quality Python and Bash automation tooling
• Conduct code reviews, debug pipeline failures, and maintain technical documentation
• Integrate monitoring and observability using Telegraf, Prometheus, and Grafana

Required Qualifications

• Jenkins expertise with Groovy scripting (non-negotiable requirement)
• 5+ years of production-quality Python development experience
• 5+ years of DevOps or platform engineering experience
• Strong proficiency in Git and Linux/Bash scripting
• Strong written English communication skills
• Self-motivated, able to work effectively in an async-first environment

Technical Environment

Jenkins, Groovy, Python, Bash, OpenShift, Kubernetes, Helm, Ansible, Nexus, Telegraf, Prometheus, Grafana, Git

What Success Looks Like

In the first 30 days: stabilize the environment by fixing broken pipelines and deploying critical application updates.

By 90 days: GitOps workflows are fully operational, with network engineers confidently using self-service tooling.

Within 6–12 months: the automation toolchain reaches full maturity and operates with minimal maintenance overhead.

Team & Work Environment

You will join a 10-person team operating on Kanban methodology with daily standups and an async-first culture (Microsoft Teams). The role includes participation in a periodic on-call rotation (weekly or bi-weekly). This is a high-visibility opportunity to rebuild a critical automation capability supporting network operations at scale.
