Senior Network Automation Engineer

Verda; Deutschland; Vor Ort; EUR 90.000 - 140.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Verda is redefining cloud infrastructure for AI workloads and is seeking a Senior Network Automation Engineer to define and build the automation platform powering its AI networking stack. You will craft production-grade systems that translate network intent into scalable, automated operations across a multi-vendor environment, including Arista, Nokia, Juniper, SONiC, and NVIDIA-based platforms.

This automation-first role emphasizes software engineering as its core craft, with responsibilities

Qualifikationen

• 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.
• 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.

Aufgaben

• Own the source-of-truth strategy and automation platform for our network infrastructure.
• Design scalable data models for sites, fabrics, addressing, interfaces, and deployment intent; build provisioning workflows and tooling.
• Develop multi-vendor onboarding and zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) workflows; build validation and compliance tooling integrated with CI/CD.
• Design and operate telemetry platforms, build streaming telemetry pipelines, collect metrics, and create dashboards for visibility across the network fleet.

Jobbeschreibung

About the role

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.

Role overview

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
