Initial Assignment Legnth: 12 months
Management & DDI
Job Summary
We are looking for a Python Software Engineer to design and develop software
platforms for enterprise network and infrastructure management, with a particular focus
on DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI/IPAM).
This is primarily a software development role. You will build Python services, APIs,
automation frameworks, and integrations that manage network resources and provide
infrastructure capabilities as programmable, self-service services.
You will work closely with networking, datacenter, compute, storage, and platform
engineering teams to transform traditionally manual network-management processes
into scalable, API-driven software solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Python Software Development
Design, develop, test, and maintain production-quality software primarily in
Python.
Build scalable backend services, APIs, libraries, and automation frameworks for
infrastructure and network management.
Apply modern software engineering practices including code reviews, automated
testing, CI/CD, version control, API design, and software lifecycle management.
Design software that can reliably operate across multiple datacenters and large
infrastructure environments.
Troubleshoot complex software and distributed-system problems and implement
sustainable fixes.
Network Management Software – DNS, DHCP & IPAM
Design and develop software solutions for enterprise DNS, DHCP, and IP
Address Management (DDI/IPAM).
Build software for automated IP allocation, reservation, discovery, reclamation,
and lifecycle management.
Develop APIs and workflows for managing DNS records, DHCP configuration,
subnets, address pools, leases, and related network resources.
Build integrations between DDI/IPAM platforms and compute, networking,
provisioning, cloud, and datacenter systems.
Develop software to automate network-resource onboarding and configuration
across multiple datacenters and environments.
Help establish authoritative infrastructure data and source-of-truth models for
network resources.
APIs, Automation & Platform Integration
Design and implement REST APIs and other programmatic interfaces for network
and infrastructure services.
Build integrations with infrastructure platforms, CMDBs, provisioning systems,
and automation frameworks.
Develop event-driven and workflow-based automation for infrastructure lifecycle
management.
Build solutions that dynamically allocate and recycle IP addresses and other
network resources for compute infrastructure.
Integrate network-management services with bare-metal provisioning,
PXE/network boot, virtualization, and cloud workflows.
Enable infrastructure capabilities to be consumed through APIs and self-service
platforms rather than manual operational processes.
Reliability & Observability
Build monitoring, metrics, logging, and health-check capabilities into
network-management services.
Implement dashboards and alerting using technologies such as Prometheus,
Grafana, ELK, or similar platforms.
Define and track service metrics such as availability, latency, capacity, error rates,
and resource utilization.
Participate in incident response and root-cause analysis for software and
network-management services.
Improve reliability through automation, testing, observability, and operational
tooling.
Required Skills & Experience
Software Engineering
Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including:
○ Object-oriented and modular software design
○ REST API design
○ Data structures and algorithms
○ Automated testing
○ Git and modern development workflows
○ CI/CD
○ Debugging and performance troubleshooting
Experience developing software that integrates with external systems through
APIs, databases, messaging systems, or event-driven architectures.
Strong Linux development and troubleshooting skills.
Networking & DDI
Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, subnets,
routing, VLANs, DNS, and DHCP.
Experience with or strong knowledge of IP Address Management (IPAM).
Understanding of DNS zones, records, resolution, DHCP scopes, leases,
reservations, and IP address lifecycle management.
Experience developing or integrating network-management systems through
APIs.
Ability to translate networking requirements into maintainable software
abstractions and automated workflows.
Infrastructure Automation
Experience with infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible, Puppet, or
similar technologies.
Familiarity with CMDB or infrastructure source-of-truth systems.
Understanding of bare-metal provisioning and infrastructure lifecycle
management.
Experience building automated infrastructure onboarding and provisioning
workflows.
Collaboration & Ownership
Comfortable working across software engineering, networking, compute, storage,
datacenter, and SRE teams.
Ability to take ownership of a software service from architecture and
development through deployment and production operations.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to turn ambiguous infrastructure
requirements into well-defined software solutions.
Strong focus on automation, reliability, maintainability, and scalability.
Nice to Have
Experience developing or operating enterprise DDI/IPAM platforms such as
Nautobot, NetBox, Infoblox, BlueCat, Kea DHCP, BIND, or similar
technologies.
Experience building network automation or network management software.
Experience with FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar Python frameworks.
Experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases.
Experience with Kubernetes, containers, and cloud-native application
development.
Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues, or workflow
engines.
Experience with large-scale internal infrastructure platforms or Infrastructure as
a Product.
SRE or DevOps experience.
Experience with multi-datacenter or hybrid-cloud environments.
Familiarity with PXE, network boot, OS imaging, and server
bootstrap/provisioning systems
