Job Description

As a Lead Consultant, you will define and drive end-to-end automation strategies for 5G Core and IMS functions, ensuring alignment with industry standards like ETSI MANO, TMF, and 3GPP. You will take ownership of lifecycle automation—designing workflows for deployment, scaling, healing, and upgrades of cloud-native functions—while enabling CI/CD and Infrastructure as Code practices across Kubernetes-based platforms. In this role, you will also integrate automation with OSS/BSS systems, design testing frameworks, and strengthen operational resilience through observability and health checks. Beyond technology, you will mentor teams, collaborate with CSPs and vendors, and champion cloud-native best practices to modernize telco core operations.

How You Will Contribute And What You Will Learn

Define and lead automation strategies for lifecycle management (LCM) of IMS and 5G Core functions, ensuring alignment with industry standards (ETSI MANO, 3GPP, TMF).
Architect scalable, reusable automation frameworks and drive adoption of GitOps and zero-touch cloud-native operations.
Automate deployment, configuration, scaling, upgrades, rollback, and healing of CNFs across Kubernetes-based telecom cloud platforms.
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, Jenkins, ArgoCD) and IaC modules (Ansible, Helm, Terraform) to streamline CNF onboarding and infrastructure provisioning.
Design and integrate automated testing frameworks (Robot Framework, PyTest, custom tools) into CI/CD processes for end-to-end validation, monitoring, and health checks.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams, partners, and AI/ML experts to drive innovation, enhance resilience, and continuously improve automation practices

Key Skills And Experience

You Have:

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (preferred) with 12+ years of telecom automation experience, with deep expertise in IMS (SIP, Diameter) and 5G Core functions (AMF, SMF, UPF, PCF, UDM, NRF), along with OSS/BSS ecosystem knowledge.
You have strong cloud-native and containerization skills in Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, or Wind River Cloud, with hands-on experience in multi-cloud and CNF lifecycle automation.
You are proficient in automation tooling and CI/CD practices, including Ansible, Helm, Terraform, Robot, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and ArgoCD, combined with programming in Python or Bash.
You excel in automation testing and observability, with experience building frameworks (Robot, PyTest), integrating monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), and applying Day 0/1/2 automation workflows.
You demonstrate leadership, collaboration, and agility, guiding teams, influencing technical decisions, and staying ahead with emerging practices like GitOps, AI/ML-driven automation, and security automation

It would be nice if you also have:

Knowledge with industry standards and frameworks (TM Forum Open APIs, eTOM)
CKA/CKAD, Red Hat Certified Specialist in OpenShift Automation, AWS/Azure cloud certifications
