Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer

Responsibilities

• As a technical Subject Matter Expert (SME) with a focus on networking, the Senior Core Infrastructure Engineer will take ownership of moderately complex projects, including the development of software for network operating systems and related infrastructure. This role requires translating detailed software designs into actionable development plans, leading the creation of solutions that span multiple modules with intricate interactions, and ensuring these solutions are effectively supported by monitoring and automation systems.
• In this capacity, the candidate will act as an SME for root cause analysis, often automating complex tasks that bridge software and networking functions. They may also lead software automation design and delivery projects specifically tailored to enhance network operations.
• Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field is preferred.
• At least 5 years of experience in software engineering with a focus on networking.
• Strong expertise in Network Operating Systems (NOS) and experience with networking hardware.
• Proven experience in developing software solutions for large enterprises or cloud provider environments.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C/C++, Java, or similar.
• Solid knowledge of networking protocols (e.g., BGP, OSPF, IS-IS, TCP/IP) and technologies (e.g., VPN, DNS, DHCP, MPLS).
• Experience with network automation, scripting, and tooling (e.g., Python, Ansible).
• Familiarity with network modeling and programming (e.g., YANG, OpenConfig, NETCONF).
• Knowledge of software architecture and design, particularly in distributed systems and cloud-native environments.
• Strong understanding of network security principles and best practices in software development.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control systems, and DevOps practices.
• Knowledge of API development and integration, particularly in networking contexts.
• Excellent organizational, verbal, and written communication skills.
