Job Description

Job Title

Network Automation Engineer – Cisco SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) and Python Automation

Role/Job Summary

We are looking for a Network Automation Engineer who combines deep Cisco routing and switching expertise with strong Python-based automation capability. The role focuses on designing, configuring, optimising and troubleshooting Cisco SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) fabrics and service-provider routing scenarios, while automating configuration, validation and test execution end to end. The engineer will work in a client-facing, multi-vendor and multicultural environment, using Git for version control and Jira for collaboration and delivery tracking.

Key Responsibilities

Configure, optimise and troubleshoot Cisco SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) environments, including interoperability with OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and BGP (Border Gateway Protocol).
Validate service-provider routing scenarios covering IP/MPLS (Internet Protocol / Multi-Protocol Label Switching), BNG (Broadband Network Gateway) and L3VPN (Layer 3 Virtual Private Network).
Develop Python scripts to automate device configuration, testing and day-to-day operational processes, reducing manual effort and configuration drift.
Build and execute automated test cases, including traffic stream configuration using Spirent TestCenter.
Diagnose and resolve issues spanning Python code, network configuration and virtualised infrastructure running on VMware ESXi (Elastic Sky X Integrated).
Analyse, verify and optimise client requirements, translating them into implementable network and automation designs.
Maintain code and configuration quality using Git for version control, and collaborate on delivery through Jira.
Produce clear technical documentation, test evidence and knowledge-transfer material for client and internal stakeholders.

Must-Have Skills

Strong hands-on expertise in Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System) and multi-vendor routing and switching.
Practical experience in Cisco SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) configuration, optimisation and troubleshooting.
Depth in service-provider routing: MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching), BGP (Border Gateway Protocol), OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) and L3VPN (Layer 3 Virtual Private Network).
Proficiency in Python for network automation and test automation.
Working experience with Git for version control and Jira for collaboration.
Mandatory Cisco certifications: CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) and CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional).
Strong client-facing communication skills with professional English proficiency in a multicultural environment.

Good-to-Have Skills

Cisco NSO (Network Services Orchestrator) and YANG (Yet Another Next Generation) model-based service orchestration.
Test tooling exposure such as Spirent TestCenter, Spirent CyberFlood or equivalent traffic-generation platforms.
SDN/NFV (Software-Defined Networking / Network Functions Virtualisation) virtualisation platforms, for example Nokia Nuage Networks.
Demonstrated career transition from traditional network engineering into network automation.
CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert) or an equivalent higher-level Cisco certification.
Familiarity with CI/CD (Continuous Integration / Continuous Deployment) pipelines and infrastructure-as-code practices for network estates.

Experience Required

6–10 years of overall networking experience, including a minimum of 3 years in Cisco SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) and at least 2 years in Python-based network or test automation.
