Network Automation Engineer

BayOne Solutions; Bengaluru; On-site; INR 1,200,000 - 1,800,000; Full time

Job summary

BayOne Solutions seeks an engineer to own system- and solution-level testing for data-center networking environments. This is a test/validation role, not software development, requiring strong networking knowledge and practical Python automation skills.

Responsibilities include developing Python automation, covering BGP, VXLAN, EVPN, and IP fabric scenarios, while reviewing and validating existing automation code. Onsite collaboration and debugging are required.

Qualifications

• Strong networking fundamentals across Layer 2/3, BGP, and data-center fabrics.
• Experience with Python-based test automation and validation workflows.
• Ability to read, evaluate, and verify automation code generated by AI or by the team.

Responsibilities

• Perform system- and solution-level testing across data-center networking environments.
• Develop and maintain Python-based test automation.
• Automate test cases covering Layer 2, Layer 3, BGP, IP fabric, VXLAN, and EVPN scenarios.
• Support testing related to SONiC and potentially FBOSS.
• Review existing test code and understand the networking behavior it's meant to validate.
• Validate the correctness of AI-generated or team-generated automation code — using AI coding tools appropriately while independently verifying output.
• Troubleshoot test failures spanning automation, systems, and networking layers.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, test, and solution teams; participate in onsite technical discussions and debugging sessions.

Job description

We are looking for a engineer to own system-level and solution-level testing for data-center networking environments. This is explicitly not a software development role — it's a test/validation role that requires a genuine blend of strong networking knowledge and practical Python automation skills. Candidates must ramp quickly with limited handholding, as the team doesn't have bandwidth for extensive training.

What You'll Do

• Perform system- and solution-level testing across data-center networking environments.
• Develop and maintain Python-based test automation.
• Automate test cases covering Layer 2, Layer 3, BGP, IP fabric, VXLAN, and EVPN scenarios.
• Support testing related to SONiC and potentially FBOSS.
• Review existing test code and understand the networking behavior it's meant to validate.
• Validate the correctness of AI-generated or team-generated automation code — using AI coding tools appropriately while independently verifying output.
• Troubleshoot test failures spanning automation, systems, and networking layers.
• Collaborate closely with engineering, test, and solution teams; participate in onsite technical discussions and debugging sessions.

Networking

• Strong Layer 2 and Layer 3 fundamentals
• BGP (critical — non-negotiable)
• Data-center fabrics and IP fabric concepts
• VXLAN and EVPN
• Routing and switching
• Ability to troubleshoot system- and solution-level networking issues
• OSPF exposure is helpful but secondary to BGP

Automation

• Ability to read and understand existing automation code
• Ability to evaluate whether generated or existing code is technically correct
• Experience automating system, solution, or network test cases
• Ability to translate a networking test scenario into an automation approach
• Not required: application development or algorithm-heavy software engineering background

Preferred (Strong Plus)

• SONiC experience
• FBOSS experience
• Experience automating tests in a SONiC environment
• Python-based network test frameworks, especially pyATS or similar
