Job description

We are seeking an Automation Developer with a development-heavy background to build software automation supporting out-of-home Wi-Fi and public hotspot environments. The role will work across multiple initiatives involving AAA policy/code, Nokia WAG, access points, wireless controllers, and production deployment automation. The ideal candidate will have strong hands‑on scripting and software development experience, particularly with Python, Bash, Ansible, and Terraform, along with strong Linux systems administration and troubleshooting skills. The role also requires practical database experience and a willingness to use approved AI tools to support development, scripting, and troubleshooting while critically evaluating and validating AI-generated output.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain automation solutions, scripts, playbooks, and tooling to reduce manual operations work and errors in methods of procedure.
• Build and support automation for out-of-home Wi-Fi, public hotspots, AAA policy/code, Nokia WAG, access points, wireless controllers, and production deployments.
• Develop and maintain Ansible playbooks and roles and Terraform modules, providers, and state management configurations.
• Perform Linux systems administration and troubleshooting to support automation solutions in Red Hat and related environments.
• Work with Cassandra and Oracle databases for querying, basic administration, and operational support.
• Collaborate across multiple initiatives and projects while supporting development and automation priorities.
• Use AI tools to assist with development, scripting, and troubleshooting while testing, reviewing, and validating generated output.

Required Qualifications

• 3–7 years of experience in software development and automation, with a development‑heavy background.
• Strong hands‑on software development and scripting experience using Bash, Python, or similar scripting languages.
• Demonstrated ability to build automation solutions rather than primarily execute QA test cycles.
• Strong working knowledge of Linux systems administration and troubleshooting, including Red Hat environments.
• Proven experience with Ansible, including writing, structuring, and maintaining playbooks and roles.
• Proven experience with Terraform, including modules, providers, and state management.
• Practical experience with Cassandra and Oracle, including querying, basic administration, and operational support.
• Strong troubleshooting, problem‑solving, and systems engineering skills.
• Ability to work effectively across multiple projects and initiatives.

Preferred Qualifications

• General networking knowledge, particularly IPv4 and IPv6 addressing.
• Familiarity with Wi‑Fi and public hotspot environments.
• Familiarity with AAA and Nokia WAG.
• Experience with Nokia proprietary AAA language, referred to in the source as “TAL” and inconsistently as “DAL”; the exact terminology should be confirmed.
• General systems engineering knowledge.
• Practical experience using AI and prompting tools to support software development, scripting, or troubleshooting.
• Ability to critically evaluate, test, and validate AI-generated output rather than relying on it without verification.
• Experience working across multiple projects and initiatives in a development and automation environment.
