Network Automation Engineer

Python in one hand, infrastructure-as-code in the other? Come automate a plant at serious scale.

Our client is a market leader in the financial and trading space, right in the middle of a DevOps transformation. You'll build the real-time APIs and back-end integrations that turn desired state into actual state across a huge, highly automated F5 and Infoblox environment — making infrastructure-on-demand a reality. Ideal for a Python developer who's automated a network, compute or middleware plant (Ansible modules or Terraform providers a real plus) — or a network/compute engineer who's been scripting low-level config and wants to go all-in on automation.
