Desired Experience:

• Experience designing and implementing network infrastructure tools or service integrations in a complex enterprise environments including Cisco and Juniper products.
• Advanced knowledge of API-based integration patterns, service interfaces, and platform connectivity approaches used to connect tools, workflows, and applications.
• Experience building reusable integration components, connectors, templates, and automation patterns using Python to accelerate delivery and improve consistency.
• Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, and secure access patterns required for system-to-system and model-to-tool interaction.
• Experience enabling interactions between applications, infrastructure tools, automation platforms, and enterprise services through governed integration methods.
• Knowledge of infrastructure service design, interface dependencies, integration lifecycle considerations, and operational support expectations.
• Experience working across architecture, engineering, platform, security, and delivery stakeholders to align integration solutions with broader technical and operational needs.
• Strong understanding of logging, monitoring, resiliency, and supportability expectations for production-grade integration services.
• Experience decomposing complex integration objectives into actionable work items and guiding engineers through implementation activities.
• Strong knowledge of governance, standards, and controlled delivery practices in regulated enterprise environments.
