Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Python Software Engineer to design, develop, and maintain software platforms for enterprise network and infrastructure management, with a focus on DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI/IPAM).
This role primarily focuses on software development, building Python-based backend services, REST APIs, automation frameworks, and integrations that enable scalable, API-driven infrastructure management.
The engineer will collaborate with networking, datacenter, compute, storage, and platform engineering teams to transform manual network management processes into automated, reliable, and self-service software solutions.
Key Responsibilities

Python Software Development
Design, develop, test, and maintain production-quality software primarily using Python. Build scalable backend services, REST APIs, libraries, and automation frameworks for infrastructure and network management. Apply modern software engineering practices, including code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, version control, and software lifecycle management. Develop software capable of operating reliably across multiple datacenters and large-scale infrastructure environments. Troubleshoot complex software and distributed-system issues and implement sustainable solutions.
Network Management -DNS, DHCP & IPAM
Design and develop software solutions for enterprise DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI/IPAM). Build automation for IP address allocation, reservation, discovery, reclamation, and lifecycle management. Develop APIs and workflows for managing DNS records, DHCP configurations, subnets, address pools, leases, and network resources. Integrate DDI/IPAM platforms with compute, networking, provisioning, cloud, and datacenter systems. Automate network resource onboarding and configuration across multiple datacenters and environments. Establish authoritative infrastructure data and source-of-truth models for network resources.
APIs, Automation & Platform Integration
Design and implement REST APIs and 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. Automate network resource allocation and recycling for compute infrastructure. Integrate network management services with bare-metal provisioning, PXE/network boot, virtualization, and cloud workflows.
