• Developing and implementing network automation using Python and/or Ansible
• Working with APIs and automation platforms to integrate network operations with wider IT systems
• Applying Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles to network configuration and deployment
• Monitoring network performance, identifying bottlenecks, and proactively resolving issues
• Contributing to technical roadmaps and helping shape the future of the network environment

What We're Looking For

• Strong hands-on experience with Aruba (switching and wireless)
• Solid background in enterprise network design, configuration, and troubleshooting
• Good knowledge of LAN/WAN, TCP/IP, and routing/switching protocols
• Experience with network automation and scripting (Python, Ansible, or similar)
• Understanding of APIs, automation platforms, and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles
• Practical experience with network monitoring and performance troubleshooting
• Fluent in Dutch and English (spoken and written)
