Senior Network Development Engineer

About the role

Founded in 2004, NetBrain is the leader in no-code network automation. Its ground-breaking Next-Gen platform provides IT operations teams with the ability to scale their hybrid multi-cloud connected networks by automating the processes associated with Diagnostic Troubleshooting, Outage Prevention and Protected Change Management. Today, over 2,500 of the world’s largest enterprises and managed services providers leverage NetBrain’s platform.

About the Role

NetBrain’s platform is driven by a large and continuously growing library of platform resources — device drivers and API plugins, parsers, Runbooks, Network Intents, assessment and diagnosis logic, etc. These resources determine what the platform can see, understand, and automate across every customer network.

We are looking for a Senior Network Development Engineer to own the engineering behind the correctness, coverage, and reliability of these resources. This role will design and build the frameworks, tooling, and simulated network environments that validate platform resources at scale, define what “correct” means for each resource type, and make resource quality measurable and enforceable across every release. You will also develop and improve platform resources directly when gaps are found.

Candidates who combine strong Python engineering with an understanding of networking will be especially successful in this role.

Responsibilities

- Design and develop the validation framework and automation infrastructure used to verify platform resources — drivers, parsers, Runbooks, Intents, assessment logic, and integrations — across different vendors, technologies, and NetBrain platform versions.

- Write code to build resource verification engines, conformance checks, diffing and baseline tooling, and the utilities the resource development teams use day to day

- Build and operate simulated and virtualized network environments (emulated devices, captured device data, containerized topologies) that allow resources to be validated without physical hardware

- Translate customer environments and real-world network scenarios into the coverage model those standards are measured against

- Analyze resource coverage across the supported device and technology matrix, identify gaps, and drive or directly implement the resources needed to close them

- Validate resource behavior across platform upgrades and version changes, including compatibility, scalability, and stability under production-scale data

- Investigate complex resource-level issues reported by global enterprise customers, perform root cause analysis, and deliver the fix that prevents recurrence

- Track and report resource quality metrics (coverage, accuracy, parsing success rate, release readiness) and use them to drive engineering decisions

- Work cross-functionally with Product Management, Development, and Support to improve resource architecture, authoring efficiency, and the overall resource lifecycle
