SENIOR NETWORK AUTOMATION ENGINEER - CYBERSECURITY
Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
How We Work:
Strategic Autonomy: We hire self-starters and give them the space to innovate. As a senior member of the team, you will operate with minimal direction. We don't micromanage; we provide the objective and trust you to architect the solution.
Sophistication & Scale: You will tackle high-complexity work (Puppet, Foreman, and enterprise data center environments) in a low-bureaucracy setting. We’ve removed the corporate fluff so you can focus on the craftsmanship of infrastructure.
Remote Excellence: Enjoy the flexibility of a 100% remote role while collaborating with a high-caliber team that values technical integrity above all else.
What You’ll Do:
Empower Protection: Maintain and optimize the complex firewall and VPN architectures that enable our security products to actively shield and defend our customers.
Architect & Automate: Use Python and modern automation frameworks to build a network that manages itself. You’ll replace manual repetition with robust, testable code.
Strategic Troubleshooting: Take point on complex Layer 2/Layer 3 and dynamic routing (BGP) challenges. You are the final point of escalation who identifies the root cause and implements a permanent fix.
Design for Resilience: Continuously evaluate and improve our network architecture to increase performance, security, and stability.
Core Requirements:
- Experience performance tuning Linux systems, particularly related to networking.
- Experience with networking concepts and debugging tools tcpdump/wireshark.
- Knowledge of basic networking including L2 and L3 fundamentals, stateful devices (firewalls, proxies), etc.
- Understanding of basic protocols (LACP, LLDP, ARP, ND, IP (v4/v6), TCP, UDP, BFD, HTTP, SMTP, TFTP, IKE/ESP, TLS).
- Familiarity with networking concepts like dynamic routing (OSPF, iBGP/eBGP, filter-based forwarding, rpm/event scripts), ISP/IX full table peering and multi-ISP environments.
- Experience working with any/all of Nautobot, Telegraf/InfluxDB/Grafana, Elasticsearch/Logstash/Kibana, and other automation and monitoring tools are strongly preferred.
- Experience with any/all of Juniper (especially QFX5K based EVPN environments), VMware NSX-T, F5 BIG-IP (primary focus on SSLO), Palo Alto NGFW and Panorama would also be a big plus.
- Familiarity with issues surrounding application layer proxying of network protocols.
- Python application development knowledge and experience.
- Proven ability to learn quickly and solve significant problems with minimal direction.
- Willingness to perform deep research and/or reverse engineer poorly documented standards.
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math is preferred.
- Impeccable troubleshooting skills and ability to rapidly understand the basic design and operation of new systems.
- Must possess the highest level of personal integrity, value team success over individual achievement, and enjoy working on a fully remote team in a very high tech environment.
