IP Fabric excels in combining and bringing together two worlds, experienced network engineers and software developers. Network engineers build a bridge between networks & their protocols and our vendor-independent network model which is a foundation for all IP Fabric operations.

We are looking for a Network Automation Engineering Team Lead with developer background who will lead and manage the team. You will also closely cooperate with other teams from the Engineering department.

Team has networking expertise, but a large part of their job is development, where they transform data collected from the network to vendor and protocol agnostic model. We need team lead who will help them to uplift their programming skills and will bring developer experience into the team. We do not expect network engineer skills, but well-versed software engineer. You will also help backend teams with system architecture. Engineering is also in the process of transformation from waterfall development to agile and fostering devOps culture, so we expect you to live these principles.
