Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced
Network Automation Engineer
to design, implement, and optimize automation solutions for our
Private Cloud datacenter network
, which underpins large-scale
AI/ML GPU and TPU workloads
. This role focuses on automating configuration, provisioning, and monitoring of high-performance networking devices to ensure low latency, high throughput, and reliability in a mission-critical environment. This role involves automating network device management as well as
OS-level network configurations
on servers. Expertise in
Ansible
and
Python
is essential, and experience with
GoLang
is a strong plus.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain
  network automation frameworks
  for large-scale datacenter environments supporting AI/ML workloads.
• Build
  Ansible playbooks, roles, and modules
  to automate device configurations, software upgrades, and compliance checks across multi-vendor environments.
• Design and implement
  Python-based automation scripts and tools
  to integrate with APIs, orchestration platforms, and monitoring systems.
• Automate
  OS core networking configurations
  on servers (Linux / Windows / Hypervisor) including bonding, VLANs, routing tables, kernel network parameters, MTU tuning, and NIC performance optimization.
• Collaborate with cloud infrastructure, network engineering, and DevOps teams to deliver seamless provisioning and scaling of GPU/TPU clusters.
• Ensure network automation solutions meet
  high-performance computing (HPC)
  requirements such as low latency, high throughput, and fault tolerance.
• Participate in
  network architecture reviews
  to provide automation insights and recommendations.
• Document automation processes, workflows, and operational guidelines for the datacenter network.
• Stay updated on emerging technologies in network automation, SDN, and private cloud networking.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Expertise in Ansible
  (playbook development, dynamic inventory, custom modules) for large-scale network automation.
• Strong proficiency in Python
  for scripting, API integrations (REST, NETCONF, gNMI), and device interaction (e.g., NAPALM, Netmiko, Paramiko).
• Hands-on experience with
  high-performance datacenter networking devices
  (Cisco Nexus, Arista, Juniper, Mellanox/NVIDIA Networking).
• Knowledge of
  Linux / Windows / Hypervisor OS core networking
  , including:
• Network stack configuration (sysctl tuning, TCP/UDP parameters).
• NIC bonding, SR-IOV, DPDK, and kernel bypass techniques.
• VLANs, routing tables, MTU adjustments, jumbo frames.
• Performance tuning for HPC/AI workloads.
• Deep understanding of
  networking concepts
  including BGP, EVPN-VXLAN, MPLS, QoS, and leaf-spine architectures.
• Experience in
  Private Cloud environments
  with a focus on supporting HPC/AI workloads.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab, Jenkins) for deploying automation at scale.
• Knowledge of
  network observability, telemetry, and streaming protocols
  (gRPC, sFlow, SNMP, InfluxDB, Prometheus).
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to operate in a
  high-availability, mission-critical datacenter environment
  .

Good to Have:

• GoLang
  experience for building scalable and high-performance automation tools.
• Familiarity with
  Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC)
  tools like Terraform or Pulumi.
• Exposure to
  Kubernetes networking (CNI plugins)
  and
  containerized workloads
  .
• Understanding of
  AI/ML workload characteristics
  and their impact on network design and performance.
• Experience with
  SDN solutions
  (e.g., Cisco ACI, VMware NSX, NVIDIA Cumulus).
