About the Role This is a DevOps-first position within a NetDevOps partnership model. Network engineers own the network configuration and policy layer; this role owns the automation, CI/CD pipelines, and self-service tooling that let those changes ship safely. You will not be doing traditional network engineering — you are the software/platform engineering counterpart in the partnership. Key Responsibilities • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins, including custom Groovy shared libraries • Deploy and manage applications on OpenShift (Kubernetes) using Helm charts • Design and support GitOps workflows that enable network engineers to self-service infrastructure changes • Write production-quality Python and Bash automation tooling • Conduct code reviews, debug pipeline failures, and maintain technical documentation • Integrate monitoring and observability using Telegraf, Prometheus, and Grafana Required Qualifications • Jenkins expertise with Groovy scripting (non-negotiable requirement) • 5+ years of production-quality Python development experience • 5+ years of DevOps or platform engineering experience • Strong proficiency in Git and Linux/Bash scripting • Strong written English communication skills • Self-motivated, able to work effectively in an async-first environment Technical Environment Jenkins, Groovy, Python, Bash, OpenShift, Kubernetes, Helm, Ansible, Nexus, Telegraf, Prometheus, Grafana, Git What Success Looks Like In the first 30 days: stabilize the environment by fixing broken pipelines and deploying critical application updates. By 90 days: GitOps workflows are fully operational, with network engineers confidently using self-service tooling. Within 6–12 months: the automation toolchain reaches full maturity and operates with minimal maintenance overhead. Team & Work Environment You will join a 10-person team operating on Kanban methodology with daily standups and an async-first culture (Microsoft Teams). The role includes participation in a periodic on-call rotation (weekly or bi-weekly). This is a high-visibility opportunity to rebuild a critical automation capability supporting network operations at scale.
