Software Development Permanent
This is an opportunity to work on software that sits at the intersection of Python development, network automation, APIs, cloud and infrastructure — ideal for someone who enjoys solving challenging engineering problems rather than working purely on traditional application development.
You'll work within an Operations Support Systems (OSS) environment, developing and supporting software that helps operate and automate network and infrastructure services.
You'll be involved in:
Developing and maintaining applications using Python
Building and integrating APIs and services
Automating network and infrastructure processes
Working across cloud and infrastructure environments
Supporting CI/CD and modern DevOps practices
Working with network management and operational systems
Collaborating closely with software, network and infrastructure engineers
Contributing to the design and improvement of automation solutions
We're looking for someone with 10+ years' software engineering experience who brings a strong combination of software development and networking expertise.
You'll ideally have:
Strong commercial Python development experience
Hands-on network automation experience
Solid understanding of networking and infrastructure
Experience working with APIs and integrations
Experience with AWS
Strong understanding of CI/CD and DevOps
Experience working with integration platforms such as Boomi would be advantageous
A track record of developing production-quality software
We're particularly interested in engineers who have worked across the boundary between software engineering and network/infrastructure engineering.
18-month fixed-term contract
Opportunity to work on technically complex network and infrastructure systems
Strong exposure to Python, automation, APIs, AWS and CI/CD
Work alongside experienced software and network engineering professionals
A collaborative environment with plenty of technical ownership
Immediate / ASAP start
If you're a senior Python engineer who enjoys working at the intersection of software, networking and automation, we'd be keen to hear from you.
