Hiring: Network Automation Software Lead Company: TensorWave Location: Las Vegas, NV Job Posted Time: 2026-09-16 19:29:31 Target Skills & Keywords : Ansible, BGP, CI/CD, GitOps, Grafana, Kafka, Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Python, REST About the job Experience: •8+ years of relevant experience Required Skills: •: a switch goes from rack-and-stack to production-ready automatically, ensuring every link across the fabric is validated against the plan and spec. Our •Network Engineering team is your customer •; you build the platform, they run the network on top of it. •You'll report to a Software Engineering Lead, which means this is real software engineering, not scripts bolted onto a NOC. Source control, testing, CI/CD, code review, release management, and on-call are the baseline. You'll also be responsible for making sure the platform integrates cleanly with the rest of our software and platform tooling. •Own the end-to-end ZTP pipeline: bare-metal switch boot → image + base config → registration in source of truth → full intended config → validation → production — with zero human intervention. •Build intent-based config generation off a network source of truth / IPAM, with GitOps-style deployment, pre/post-change validation, and safe rollout and rollback. •Establish network validation and pre-deployment testing (snapshot/digital-twin testing) so changes are caught before they hit production fabrics. •Build streaming telemetry and metrics/logging pipelines (gNMI / OpenConfig) for fabric health. Qualifications: •Proven experience building network automation at scale — ideally at a hyperscaler, large cloud, or large-scale datacenter / AI-infrastructure operator. •You've built or been a core contributor to a ZTP / device-provisioning system end-to-end, not just maintained one. •Strong software engineering fundamentals: Python and/or Go, with real production practices (version control, testing, CI/CD, code review). •Hands-on depth with datacenter Clos fabrics and the protocols that run them: BGP, EVPN/VXLAN, and ideally RoCEv2 / RDMA for GPU networks at scale. •Fluency with modern network automation tech: gNMI/gNOI, OpenConfig/YANG, NETCONF; source-of-truth systems (NetBox / Nautobot); NOS platforms (SONiC/FRR or vendor equivalents); tooling like Nornir / NAPALM / Ansible. •Comfort running services on Kubernetes / containers. •Leadership: you've led a team or been the clear technical owner of a platform, and you instinctively treat internal users as customers. •Operational familiarity with the AMD networking ecosystem (Pensando DPUs, Ultra Ethernet) or building on Ethernet-based RDMA fabrics. •Whitebox / disaggregated networking and SONiC at scale. •Network validation / digital-twin tooling (e.g., Batfish, containerlab). Compensation: •100% paid Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance for Employees Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
