•Friday Job Details What You'll Do Perform system
•and solution-level testing across data-center networking environments.
Develop and maintain Python-based test automation.
Automate test cases covering Layer 2, Layer 3, BGP, IP fabric, VXLAN, and EVPN scenarios.
Support testing related to SONiC and potentially FBOSS.
Review existing test code and understand the networking behavior it's meant to validate.
Validate the correctness of AI-generated or team-generated automation code — using AI coding tools appropriately while independently verifying output.
Troubleshoot test failures spanning automation, systems, and networking layers.
Collaborate closely with engineering, test, and solution teams; participate in onsite technical discussions and debugging sessions.
Required Technical Background Networking Strong Layer 2 and Layer 3 fundamentals
BGP (critical — non-negotiable)
Data-center fabrics and IP fabric concepts
VXLAN and EVPN
Routing and switching
Ability to troubleshoot system
•and solution-level networking issues
CCNP-equivalent depth
OSPF exposure is helpful but secondary to BGP Automation Strong Python skills
Experience developing or maintaining network test automation
Ability to read and understand existing automation code
Ability to evaluate whether generated or existing code is technically correct
Experience automating system, solution, or network test cases
Ability to translate a networking test scenario into an automation approach
Not required: application development or algorithm-heavy software engineering background
Preferred (Strong Plus)
SONiC experience
FBOSS experience
Experience automating tests in a SONiC environment
Data-center network operating systems exposure
Python-based network test frameworks, especially pyATS or similar
Ideal Candidate Profile
Understands the networking behavior being tested, not just the automation syntax
Knows what the automation is intended to validate
Can review code (including AI-generated code) and judge whether the output is technically correct
Comfortable troubleshooting both automation failures and underlying networking issues
Thrives in a collaborative system/solution test environment
Ramps quickly and operates with limited guidance Not a fit: a Python engineer without networking depth, or a network engineer who can't understand/maintain automation. The team needs both, genuinely combined — not one skill compensating for the other. Required Education Bachelor's or Master's degree
