  • Automate the provisioning and configuration of network, security, virtualization, and load-balancing services.
  • Build and maintain integrations with Cisco ACI, VMware vCenter, Cisco FMC, F5 BIG-IP, and core network infrastructure.
  • Apply YANG models, Python, REST APIs, NETCONF, and RESTCONF to create scalable automation solutions.
  • Test and troubleshoot automation workflows, integrations, and platform configurations to ensure reliable operation.
  • Produce technical documentation and deliver knowledge transfer to engineering and operations teams.

REQUIREMENTS

  • 3+ years of hands-on experience implementing Cisco NSO and delivering network automation solutions.
  • Advanced proficiency in Cisco NSO administration, service package development, Python scripting, and YANG data modeling.
  • Strong knowledge of REST APIs, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and network automation frameworks.
  • Practical experience integrating network, security, virtualization, and infrastructure management platforms.
  • Working knowledge of Cisco ACI, including APIC or NDO, VMware vCenter, Cisco FMC, and F5 BIG-IP.
  • Solid understanding of routing, switching, VLANs, VRFs, ACLs, NAT, and Layer 2 and Layer 3 data center services.
  • Experience using Git and version control within collaborative engineering workflows.
  • Familiarity with Red Hat OpenShift, Ansible, cloud management platforms, Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, or DevOps practices.
  • Cisco DevNet, CCNP, Cisco NSO, or a comparable certification as an advantage.
