Python Developer

About the Role: We are seeking a Python Developer to work on network automation and systems integration initiatives within a large enterprise telecommunications environment. This role is focused on building automation solutions that interact with network platforms and infrastructure, helping replace manual operational processes with scalable, reliable software. This is an excellent opportunity for a Python developer who wants to move into the fast-growing field of network automation and infrastructure software engineering.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain Python-based automation scripts and services for network operations use cases (e.g. service discovery, configuration changes, and IP address management).
• Build integrations with internal platforms and network systems using APIs (REST/HTTP, JSON).
• Work closely with network engineers and business analysts to translate operational requirements into automation workflows.
• Develop and maintain code using version control (Git) and standard development practices.
• Support system integration testing (SIT), user acceptance testing (UAT), and production deployment activities.
• Produce technical documentation and contribute to knowledge bases and internal wikis.
• Participate in Agile ceremonies including sprint planning, daily stand-ups, demos, and retrospectives.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Strong proficiency in Python (2+ years preferred).
• Experience working with APIs (RESTful services, JSON).
• Solid understanding of Linux/Unix environments.
• Familiarity with Git and modern development workflows.
• Experience in building automation scripts or backend services (not just UI/front-end development).
• Good problem-solving skills and ability to work with complex systems.

Desirable Skills:

• Exposure to networking concepts (IP addressing, routing, transport networks).
• Experience with automation frameworks such as Ansible, Nornir, Netmiko, or Paramiko.
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation.
• Experience integrating with enterprise platforms (ITSM, orchestration tools, inventory systems).
• Knowledge of Agile delivery methods and working in sprint-based teams.
