We’re hiring a Network Automation Lead for one of the UK’s most innovative and high-performance internet service providers, headquartered in Central London. This is a rare opportunity to take technical ownership of cutting-edge automation efforts within a dynamic software engineering environment — while remaining deeply embedded in the networking domain.
The Role
You’ll join the Software Network Automation team, a specialist function focused on building scalable, reliable automation for network configuration and provisioning. Your work will drive forward zero-touch provisioning, automate network engine functions, and improve delivery speeds across one of the UK's most advanced carrier-grade networks.
You will:
* Take technical ownership of the network automation platform
* Work hands-on with Python to build robust, scalable automation pipelines
* Collaborate closely with the Head of Networks, COO, and the broader build team
* Partner with Network Engineers to design and implement solutions
* Own the codebase (90% coding), with a small element of architecture/design (10%)
* Influence planning, architecture proposals, and team direction
What You’ll Need
* Strong Python programming experience (this is a software engineering role focused on networks)
* Previous experience working in network automation environments (config automation, network engines, provisioning tools)
* Understanding of zero-touch provisioning principles
* Strong appreciation for network engineering (you'll be working side-by-side with top-tier network engineers)
* Proactive, collaborative approach with the confidence to lead from the front
What’s on Offer
* Up to £95,000 base salary
* Full ownership of key projects in a mission-critical space
* Work directly with senior leadership (Head of Networks, COO)
* Be at the heart of both software engineering and network operations
* Modern, energetic Central London office (5 days a week onsite)
If you're a Python expert with a passion for networking and a desire to lead automation in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, this could be your ideal next move.
