Please review the following job description: We are seeking an experienced Infrastructure Engineer specializing in network automation and NetDevOps to help design, build, and establish a new CI/CD automation product for enterprise network infrastructure. This role will create the foundational capabilities needed to automate Day 0 and Day 1 network implementations, as well as repeatable Day 2 configuration changes across a complex, multi-vendor environment. The engineer will work with technologies such as GitLab, Ansible and Ansible Automation Platform, NetBox, Cisco, Arista, and Gigamon, while identifying practical AI use cases that improve engineering efficiency, configuration quality, testing, and operational decision-making. This is a product-building role for someone who has created automation frameworks and delivery pipelines, not simply consumed an established automation service.
