Job description

You'll be applying software engineering discipline to a problem set that most developers never encounter: the operational complexity of hyperscale AI datacenters and global backbone networks. The network infrastructure we run is too large and too fast-moving to operate manually — and your job is to build the platform that makes that scale manageable. Monitoring and alerting, config management, IP address planning, asset tracking, self-service automation — you're building the toolchain that the entire network team depends on.

Key responsibilities

Architect and build the core modules of our network automation platform — turning network requests into self-service workflows and ticket-driven automated execution

Write reliable, low-level drivers and API integrations for multi-vendor network devices: NVIDIA, Arista, Cisco, and others

Build and continuously improve our next-generation network observability stack — traffic, device state, link quality — using Prometheus/Grafana, streaming telemetry, and related tooling

Define precise monitoring metrics and multi-channel alerting strategies for VIP/Key Account networks, making sure we never miss an SLA commitment

Develop, maintain, and expose API interfaces for our IP Address Management system, enabling fully automated allocation and reclamation of IP and VLAN resources across global infrastructure

Own the integration between our DCIM and CMDB systems — the single source of truth for physical topology, rack positions, and logical assets — and keep it accurate and real-time as infrastructure changes

Build and roll out bulk config deployment and automated change workflows, complete with pre-change syntax validation, compliance checks, and post-change automated verification

Develop an automated config backup system with diff comparison and version control, so you always know what changed, when, and why

About you

3+ years in NetDevOps or network automation development

Degree in CS, Software Engineering, Telecoms, or similar

Solid network fundamentals — you genuinely understand BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, EVPN, and Spine-Leaf topology

Proficient in Python for network automation; hands-on experience with Ansible, Netmiko, NAPALM, or Nornir in real production environments

Experience deploying and customizing monitoring stacks: Zabbix, Prometheus + Grafana, Telegraf, or equivalent

Familiar with IPAM tools (NetBox, Infoblox, or similar) and CMDB systems — both using them and maintaining them

Comfortable with Git and CI/CD pipelines as part of your everyday workflow

Familiar with network device programmable interfaces: RESTCONF, NETCONF, gRPC/gNMI

Fluent in Chinese and English; experience working across international teams
