• Validate service-provider routing scenarios covering IP/MPLS (Internet Protocol / Multi-Protocol Label Switching), BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) and L3VPN (Layer 3 Virtual Private Network).
• Develop Python scripts to automate device configuration, testing and day-to-day operational processes, reducing manual effort and configuration drift.
• Build and execute automated test cases, including traffic stream configuration using Spirent TestCenter.
• Diagnose and resolve issues spanning Python code, network configuration and virtualised infrastructure running on VMware ESXi (Elastic Sky X Integrated).
• Analyse, verify and optimise client requirements, translating them into implementable network and automation designs.
• Maintain code and configuration quality using Git for version control, and collaborate on delivery through Jira.
• Produce clear technical documentation, test evidence and knowledge-transfer material for client and internal stakeholders.

• Proficiency in Python for network automation and test automation.
• Working experience with Git for version control and Jira for collaboration.
• Mandatory Cisco certifications: CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) and CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional).
• Strong client-facing communication skills with professional English proficiency in a multicultural environment.

Good-to-Have Skills

• Cisco NSO (Network Services Orchestrator) and YANG (Yet Another Next Generation) model-based service orchestration.
• Test tooling exposure such as Spirent TestCenter, Spirent CyberFlood or equivalent traffic-generation platforms.
• SDN/NFV (Software-Defined Networking / Network Functions Virtualisation) virtualisation platforms, for example Nokia Nuage Networks.
• Demonstrated career transition from traditional network engineering into network automation.
• CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) or an equivalent higher-level Cisco certification.
• Familiarity with CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices for network estates.

Experience Required

6–10 years of overall networking experience, including a minimum of 3 years in Cisco SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) and at least 2 years in Python-based network or test automation.
