Job Description

Role: Senior Network Engineer
Type: Contract (7 Months)
Location: Bristol, Birmingham & London, UK

The Role
We are seeking a highly hands-on Senior Network Automation Engineer to eliminate manual network configurations and drive Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). You will translate low-level designs into production-grade automation workflows, building robust CI/CD pipelines for mission-critical Cisco data centers.

What You'll Do

  • Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines for automated network changes and migrations.
  • Champion GitOps principles, treating Git as the ultimate source of truth with strict pipeline gates and automated rollbacks.
  • Integrate automation seamlessly across enterprise platforms including NDFC, NetBox, ServiceNow, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform.

Must-Have Skills

  • Networking: Deep expertise in Cisco NX-OS, VXLAN BGP-EVPN, vPC, and Cisco NDFC.
  • Automation: Python (REST APIs, data modeling), YAML, JSON, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP).
  • CI/CD & Testing: GitHub/GitLab workflows, pyATS, and Genie for pre- and post-change validation.
  • Governance: Experience working in strictly regulated environments requiring detailed LLD documentation (FCA / PRA standards).
