DESCRIPTION

Opportunity overview

Goal: automate delivery and operations of large-scale networks to support Retail Branch Networks “Stores” (4,000–6,000 racks, new DC buildouts) and enable rapid, safe change at scale.

Technical scope:

Network Automation

• Automate delivery and management of large-scale -integrated data center networks (4,000–6,000 racks, new data centers).
• “Network as code” approach: infrastructure treated as code primitives and atomic actions, callable via APIs inside AWS environments.

Hyperscale and endpoint agents

• Environments include hyperscale clouds: AWS and Microsoft (likely Azure).
• Plan to deploy agents on endpoints/devices to:
• Collect telemetry and state.
• Potentially “weigh” or assess device condition/health and readiness for automation actions.

Workforce / retail store access

• Automation must support workforce access across all stores (likely a distributed retail footprint).
• Focus on fast, scalable deployment of network changes and access controls to all store locations.

Strong Python developers with experience in:

• Network automation and orchestration.
• Event-driven systems (Kafka or similar).
• Cloud networking (AWS, Microsoft/Azure).
• Familiarity with Cisco/Meraki ecosystems and “network as code” concepts is highly desirable.

Key stakeholders mentioned:

• Marco (Temporo workflow engine owner/architect).
• Mark Rader (stakeholder or hiring manager).

Delivery expectations:

• Emphasis on “go fast”: rapid ramp-up and quick iteration on automation capabilities.
• Need for teams that can:
• Build, test, and deploy automation quickly.
• Safely manage changes at hyperscale across thousands of racks and distributed store locations.

This is an excellent opportunity for a detail-oriented Network Automation Engineer consultant to contribute to a high-impact team in a hybrid remote environment.
