Network automation engineer

Job Description

Network Automation Engineer — DevOps-Focused (London | Hybrid)

Base Salary: £75,000 – £85,000 + Benefits


I am supporting a high-growth connectivity and digital infrastructure organisation that is building out its automation capability within a highly technical network engineering team. They are looking for a Network Automation Engineer who comes from a strong networking foundation and has evolved into automation, scripting and DevOps-style delivery.


You will be joining an engineering group of seven, where two members currently focus on automation and five are pure networking specialists. This hire acts as the bridge between both - enabling scalable, reliable and repeatable deployments across complex infrastructure environments. This role suits someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves, solving real-world distributed systems problems and shipping solutions rather than managing tickets.


What You’ll Be Doing

1. Design, build and automate network solutions from end-to-end across internal and customer environments
2. Develop tooling, workflows and infrastructure as code to accelerate delivery and eliminate repetitive manual effort
3. Work closely with network engineers to productise best practices, reduce configuration drift, and improve operational reliability
