Senior Network Automation Engineer
Summary
Senior Network Automation Engineer designs and builds automated tooling and data models to provision, validate, and monitor Verda's multi-vendor AI cloud networking infrastructure.
Verda is reimagining cloud infrastructure for AI workloads. We're building one of Europe's next-generation AI cloud platforms from the ground up, designing, deploying, and operating GPU infrastructure for large-scale AI training and inference.
About the role
As our Senior Network Automation Engineer, you'll define the automation platform that powers Verda's AI networking infrastructure. Rather than maintaining legacy systems, you'll build the tooling, data models, and automation frameworks that every future deployment will rely on.
This is an automation-first role. While a solid understanding of networking is essential, your primary craft is software engineering. You'll design production-grade systems that translate network intent into scalable, automated operations across a modern multi-vendor environment including Arista, Nokia, Juniper, SONiC, and NVIDIA-based platforms.
Your responsibilities
You will own the source-of-truth strategy and automation platform that underpins our network infrastructure.
This includes designing scalable data models for sites, fabrics, addressing, interfaces, and deployment intent, and building automation that turns those models into provisioning workflows, configuration generation, deployment artifacts, and operational tooling.
You will develop multi-vendor onboarding and zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) workflows, build validation and compliance tooling integrated with CI/CD pipelines, and help evolve our infrastructure-as-code approach.
You will also design and operate our telemetry platform, building streaming telemetry pipelines, metrics collection, dashboards, and health monitoring that provide consistent visibility across our network fleet.
Your key competencies
5–7+ years of experience in software, infrastructure, or platform engineering
Strong Python skills and software engineering fundamentals
Experience with network modeling and source-of-truth platforms such as NetBox (DCIM/IPAM)
Experience building infrastructure automation using Git-based workflows and CI/CD
Familiarity with modern network telemetry and metrics platforms
Good understanding of datacenter networking concepts and protocols
Ability to design scalable systems that bridge software engineering and network infrastructure
Nice to have
Experience with automation frameworks such as Ansible, Nornir, or Netmiko
Experience with Arista, Juniper, Nokia, SONiC, or NVIDIA networking platforms
Experience with VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar observability platforms
Familiarity with gNMI, OpenTelemetry, or SNMP
Experience with NVIDIA NetQ, UFM, or similar fabric management platforms
Practicalities
Location: Helsinki, Finland (3 days per week in the office) or Remote within the EU
Employment type: Full-time and permanent
