Python developer with network automation

Role: Python developer with network automation

Location: 100% onsite in Jersey City.

Need bank experience.

Position Summary

We are looking for a full‑stack engineer with strong Python or Java experience to help modernize our backbone voice infrastructure. The resource will design and build cloud‑native services and tooling on AWS, run workloads on Kubernetes, and implement Infrastructure‑as‑Code and Configuration‑as‑Code with Terraform and GitOps. This work will enable resilient, observable, and secure voice services at scale, partnering closely with voice and/or network engineering teams.

Scope of Work to Be Performed

· Design, build, and maintain microservices and APIs in Python or Java to support provisioning, routing, monitoring, and control-plane functions for backbone voice services.

· Develop web UIs and dashboards (e.g., React or Angular with TypeScript) for self‑service configuration, operations, and observability.

· Containerize and operate services on Kubernetes (preferably EKS), including Helm charts and/or Kustomize, autoscaling, RBAC, and workload security.

· Implement Infrastructure‑as‑Code using Terraform (modular patterns) for AWS networking, EKS, IAM, compute, storage, and observability stacks.

· Adopt Configuration‑as‑Code and GitOps for Kubernetes (e.g., Helm, Kustomize, Argo CD/Flux) to enable versioned, auditable rollouts of services and network configurations.

· Build event-driven and streaming integrations (e.g., Kafka and/or SQS) to capture call events, metrics, and operational signals for real‑time insights.

· Partner with voice and network engineers to integrate with SIP and/or SBCs, PBX and/or call recording, and voice QoS (jitter, packet loss, MOS), implementing secure signaling and/or media (TLS and/or SRTP).

· Establish CI and/or CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI), automated testing (e.g., unit, integration, contract, and/or load), and security scanning.

· Implement end‑to‑end observability, including but not limited to:

o Metrics,

o Logs,

o Tracing (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, and/or OpenTelemetry),

o SLOs and/or SLIs, and/or

o Actionable alerting.

· Embed security best practices, including but not limited to:

o IAM least privilege,

o Secret management,

o mTLS,

o Network segmentation,

o Audit trails, and/or

o Compliance-by-design.

· Contribute to SRE practices, including but not limited to:

o Root-cause analysis,

o Capacity planning,

o Service hardening, and/or

o On‑call participation.
