We're building an internal API Gateway platform that consolidates network operations, project management, and AI-assisted tooling for a global network engineering organization. You'll design and ship APIs, widgets, and AI agents that run against production data center inventory (Cisco Nexus, Pica8, Arista) and drive real infrastructure decisions - site refreshes, tech refreshes, NAC deployments, and switch migrations across dozens of enterprise sites.
This is a hands-on builder role. You'll write the API, design the schema, build the Vue.js view, wire up the agent, and own the outcome end-to-end.
What You'll Do- Designing and build REST APIs (Node.js) against Postgres, with versioning, input schemas, caching, and hybrid NP/prod auth models.
- Building widgets and Vue.js views that surface network inventory and operational metrics (counts dashboards, site status, work-item boards).
- Configuring and extending AI agents (MCP servers, tool bindings, prompt design) that assist network engineers with day-to-day ops.
- Modelling relational data for work-item tracking, project management, and CMDB-adjacent inventory.
- Owning the full lifecycle: schema migration API widget agent tool PR prod deploy.
- Debugging across the stack: platform security policies, credential vaults, DB pool exhaustion, agent tool-call failures.
- Collaborating with network engineers to translate ops asks ("we need a counts page showing X Nexus, Y Pica8") into shipped features.
You'll need to have:- Bachelor's degree or one or more years of relevant work experience.
- One or more years of relevant work experience, demonstrated through one or a combination of work and/or military experience, or specialized training.
- Experience in JavaScript/Node.js - async patterns, REST handler design, error handling.
- Experience with AI agents / LLM tool-use patterns (MCP, function calling, agent orchestration).
- Frontend fundamentals - Vue.js (or React), HTML/CSS, browser networking, state management for dashboards.
Even better if you have one or more of the following:- Network engineering domain knowledge (Cisco Nexus, Pica8, Arista, NAC, VXLAN, data center refresh workflows)
- Strong SQL and relational modeling - Postgres preferred; comfortable writing migrations, joins, and parameterized queries.
- API design discipline - input validation, versioning, idempotency, auth, rate limiting.
- Git workflow proficiency - branching, PR hygiene, disciplined commits, comfortable with staged/unstaged distinctions.
- Debugging across boundaries - reading platform errors, tracing failures from UI API DB external system.
- Security-aware coding - credential vaults, secrets handling, least privilege, understanding prod vs non-prod boundaries.
- Clear written communication - turning fuzzy asks into scoped work items; documentation others can act on.
- Project management systems (PMO, epics/stories/tasks) and integrations with them.
- Prior work on internal developer platforms or low-code/API-gateway tooling.
- Experience with ServiceNow, CMDB, or IT asset management systems.
What Success Looks Like in Year One- You've shipped multiple end-to-end features (schema API UI agent tool) that network engineers use weekly.
- You've reduced manual toil for at least one recurring ops workflow.
- You've extended the platform's agent capabilities so engineers can get answers conversationally instead of navigating dashboards.
