Senior Network Automation Engineer

Verda; Berlin; Hybrid; EUR 90.000 - 135.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Verda is building a next-generation AI cloud platform and modern GPU infrastructure for large-scale AI workloads. The Senior Network Automation Engineer will shape the automation platform powering our multi-vendor networking stack.

You'll translate network intent into scalable, production-grade software, enabling provisioning, validation, and observability across Arista/Nokia/Juniper and NVIDIA platforms, with a strong emphasis on automation-first design.

Qualifikationen

• 5–7+ years in software, infra, or platform engineering.
• Strong Python skills and software engineering fundamentals.
• Experience with multi-vendor networking and data models (NetBox).
• CI/CD workflows and IaC practices.
• Familiarity with telemetry and observability tooling.

Aufgaben

• Own automation platform for network infra and sourcing truth.
• Design scalable data models for sites, fabrics, interfaces, and deployment intent.
• Build provisioning workflows, config generation, deployment artifacts and tooling.
• Develop multi-vendor onboarding and ZTP workflows integrated with CI/CD.
• Design and operate telemetry pipelines, dashboards and health monitoring.

Jobbeschreibung

Verda is reimagining cloud infrastructure for AI workloads. We're building one of Europe's next-generation AI cloud platforms from the ground up, designing, deploying, and operating GPU infrastructure for large-scale AI training and inference.

About The Role

As our Senior Network Automation Engineer, you'll define the automation platform that powers Verda's AI networking infrastructure. Rather than maintaining legacy systems, you'll build the tooling, data models, and automation frameworks that every future deployment will rely on.

This is an automation-first role. While a solid understanding of networking is essential, your primary craft is software engineering. You'll design production-grade systems that translate network intent into scalable, automated operations across a modern multi-vendor environment including Arista, Nokia, Juniper, SONiC, and NVIDIA-based platforms.

Your Responsibilities

You will own the source-of-truth strategy and automation platform that underpins our network infrastructure.

This includes designing scalable data models for sites, fabrics, addressing, interfaces, and deployment intent, and building automation that turns those models into provisioning workflows, configuration generation, deployment artifacts, and operational tooling.

You will develop multi-vendor onboarding and zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) workflows, build validation and compliance tooling integrated with CI/CD pipelines, and help evolve our infrastructure-as-code approach.

You will also design and operate our telemetry platform, building streaming telemetry pipelines, metrics collection, dashboards, and health monitoring that provide consistent visibility across our network fleet.

Your key competencies

• 5-7+ years of experience in software, infrastructure, or platform engineering
• Strong Python skills and software engineering fundamentals
• Experience with network modeling and source-of-truth platforms such as NetBox (DCIM/IPAM)
• Experience building infrastructure automation using Git-based workflows and CI/CD
• Familiarity with modern network telemetry and metrics platforms
• Good understanding of datacenter networking concepts and protocols
• Ability to design scalable systems that bridge software engineering and network infrastructure

Nice to have

• Experience with automation frameworks such as Ansible, Nornir, or Netmiko
• Experience with Arista, Juniper, Nokia, SONiC, or NVIDIA networking platforms
• Experience with VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar observability platforms
• Familiarity with gNMI, OpenTelemetry, or SNMP
• Experience with NVIDIA NetQ, UFM, or similar fabric management platforms

Practicalities

• Location: Helsinki, Finland (3 days per week in the office) or Remote within the EU
• Employment type: Full-time and permanent

What's Next

We're building fast and this role needs the right person behind it. There's no artificial deadline, but when we find who we're looking for, we move.
