Network Automation Software Lead

Role description

Role Overview

The Network Automation Software Lead will build and own the end-to-end zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) and automation platform for TensorWave's GPU network fabrics. The goal is zero human intervention and full fabric validation. The team will be responsible for making sure the platform integrates cleanly with the rest of TensorWave's software and platform tooling.

What You Will Do

The Network Automation Software Lead will own the end-to-end ZTP pipeline, build intent-based config generation, establish network validation and pre-deployment testing, build streaming telemetry and metrics/logging pipelines, and deliver dashboards and alerting for the network team.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate will have 8+ years of relevant experience, proven experience building network automation at scale, and strong software engineering fundamentals. They will also have hands-on depth with datacenter Clos fabrics and the protocols that run them, and fluency with modern network automation tech.

Requirements

• 8+ years of relevant experience
• Proven experience building network automation at scale
• Strong software engineering fundamentals: Python and/or Go, with real production practices (version control, testing, CI/CD, code review)
• Hands-on depth with datacenter Clos fabrics and the protocols that run them: BGP, EVPN/VXLAN, and ideally RoCEv2 / RDMA for GPU networks at scale
• Fluency with modern network automation tech: gNMI/gNOI, OpenConfig/YANG, NETCONF; source-of-truth systems (NetBox / Nautobot); NOS platforms (SONiC/FRR or vendor equivalents); tooling like Nornir / NAPALM / Ansible
• Experience with observability / telemetry pipelines (Prometheus, Grafana, Kafka, OpenTelemetry, or similar)
• Comfort running services on Kubernetes / containers
• Leadership: you've led a team or been the clear technical owner of a platform, and you instinctively treat internal users as customers
