Job Summary (List Format):
- Serve as a specialist to establish and maintain NetBox as the authoritative enterprise network data source.
- Ensure accurate, trusted, and governed network inventory through automated discovery, data assurance, and integration with enterprise platforms.
- Review and analyze existing network data sources, quality, and data flows across network management, monitoring, automation, and ITSM platforms.
- Assess and improve NetBox implementation, focusing on data modelling, governance, discovery, assurance, and integrations.
- Develop and enhance NetBox to support enterprise network inventory and lifecycle management.
- Design and implement automated processes for network data discovery and assurance to improve data completeness and integrity.
- Define and maintain data models and enforce network naming conventions, taxonomy standards, and hierarchical structures.
- Establish processes and controls to keep NetBox as the trusted source of network asset, topology, IP addressing, and metadata.
- Design, implement, and enhance integrations between NetBox and network management/assurance platforms (e.g., Cisco Catalyst Centre).
- Develop integrations with enterprise platforms (e.g., ServiceNow) for CMDB population and synchronization.
- Create supporting automation, documentation, and operational processes for data quality and governance.
- Provide knowledge transfer and recommendations for ongoing platform and data ecosystem evolution.
