Role Overview
We are seeking a delivery‑focused Network Engineer with strong network automation experience to support ongoing network modernization, site deployments, and SD‑WAN initiatives. This role is ideal for an engineer who has a background in Network Deployment and who excels at building and delivering easy to use GUI based automation scripts for production environments.
You will work hands‑on with Aruba wired, wireless, and SD‑WAN platforms, leveraging automation to accelerate deployments, standardize configurations, and reduce operational risk. Success in this role means providing working solutions—automation, config, and tooling—that directly support network delivery timelines.
Key Responsibilities
- Deliver and support enterprise network engineering and automation solutions using Aruba Central (Aruba AOS-CX, AOS10), and Aruba EdgeConnect SD‑WAN.
- Build automation to support new site turn‑ups, network migrations, network access control initiatives, and SD‑WAN deployment
- Develop or integrate front‑end GUI components (internal portals, dashboards, or tooling) that simplify network delivery workflows.
- Use APIs to integrate network platforms with automation pipelines and enterprise systems.
- Collaborate closely with project managers, implementation teams, and operations to meet delivery deadlines.
- Participate in troubleshooting and remediation during deployments; feed lessons learned back into automation improvements.
- Maintain clear documentation for deployment scripts, automation workflows, and operational handoffs.
Required Qualifications
Networking (7+ years):
- 7+ years of hands‑on experience in enterprise networking roles.
- Strong foundation in TCP/IP, routing, switching, and wireless networking.
- Experience deploying and supporting Cisco and Aruba campus and branch networks.
- Solid troubleshooting skills during network delivery and cutover events.
Network Automation (7+ years in production):
- 7+ years successfully using network automation in live production environments.
- Demonstrated experience using automation to:
- Accelerate delivery timelines
- Reduce configuration errors
- Improve deployment consistency
- Experience with:
- Python for network automation and data handling.
- Ansible for orchestration and configuration management
- Terraform for infrastructure‑as‑code (network modules preferred)
- Experience developing automation that produces clear reports for the Deployment team (HTML dashboards, UI elements, CSVs).
- Familiarity with REST APIs and integrating SaaS management platforms (especially Aruba Central).
- Experience using Git for version control and collaborative development.
Preferred / Nice‑to‑Have Skills
- Aruba certifications (ACMP, ACMA, or equivalent).
- Experience with Aruba EdgeConnect SD‑WAN automated provisioning.
- Front‑end or UI technologies (e.g. Flask/Django front ends, HTML, CSS, Javascript, React).
- CI/CD integration for network delivery pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps).
- Experience supporting multi‑site rollouts, mergers, acquisitions, or parallel network builds.
- Familiarity with Zero Trust, NAC, or security integrations with Aruba platforms.
What Success Looks Like
- New sites and SD‑WAN deployments are delivered faster with fewer issues due to automation.
- Network configurations are standardized and repeatable across environments.
- Operations and deployment teams have usable reports and GUIs that simplify day‑to‑day delivery work.
- Reduction in error rates and site re-touches, reduction in hours spent on site analysis and site deployment
