Network Automation Engineer | €140k pro rata | Cork (Hybrid) | 6-Month Contract
Most network roles ask you to keep the lights on. This one asks you to automate the lights.
A global tech leader in Cork needs a hands-on network engineer who's as comfortable in a switch config as in a Python script. You’ll run and upgrade enterprise switching, routing and wireless across data centre and campus environments. You’ll also help build the automation, including AI-driven tooling, that takes the manual work out of it.
Bonus points if you’ve used LLMs or multi-agent workflows to build or test automation.
The Offer: €140,000 per annum pro rata, depending on experience. It’s a 6-month contract - PAYE, hybrid with 3 days a week on site in Cork, paid weekly as PAYE through Principle HR.
