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.\nAbout the Role\nNetBrain’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.\nWe 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.\nCandidates who combine strong Python engineering with an understanding of networking will be especially successful in this role.\n\n Responsibilities\nDesign 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.\nWrite code to build resource verification engines, conformance checks, diffing and baseline tooling, and the utilities the resource development teams use day to day\nBuild and operate simulated and virtualized network environments (emulated devices, captured device data, containerized topologies) that allow resources to be validated without physical hardware\nTranslate customer environments and real-world network scenarios into the coverage model those standards are measured against\nAnalyze resource coverage across the supported device and technology matrix, identify gaps, and drive or directly implement the resources needed to close them\nValidate resource behavior across platform upgrades and version changes, including compatibility, scalability, and stability under production-scale data\nInvestigate complex resource-level issues reported by global enterprise customers, perform root cause analysis, and deliver the fix that prevents recurrence\nTrack and report resource quality metrics (coverage, accuracy, parsing success rate, release readiness) and use them to drive engineering decisions\nWork cross-functionally with Product Management, Development, and Support to improve resource architecture, authoring efficiency, and the overall resource lifecycle\nResearch emerging network technologies (SDN, SD-WAN, Public, etc) and AI-assisted techniques, apply them to expand resource coverage or improve validation efficiency\nOccasionally support the team in resolving complex customer issues\nQualifications\nRequired\nBachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Math, Physics, Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred)\n5-8 years of software development experience, including building automation frameworks or developer-facing tooling\nStrong Python programming skills, with hands-on experience designing frameworks rather than only writing scripts (e.g., pytest, unittest, Robot Framework)\nSolid understanding of computer science fundamentals, data structures, and algorithms\nExperience with REST APIs, data parsing and transformation, and structured data formats (JSON, YAML, XML)\nExperience with CI/CD tooling (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions) and Git\nWorking knowledge of networking fundamentals (OSI model, TCP/IP, routing and switching basics such as OSPF, BGP, VLAN, ARP) and familiarity with device CLI output and configuration\nAbility to own a project end to end, from scoping and design through release\nExcellent verbal and written communication skills; fluency in English is required\nPreferred\nDeeper networking knowledge: MPLS, VXLAN, load balancing, network security, and L2-L4 packet forwarding behavior\nCCNA/CCNP or equivalent certification or hands-on network engineering experience\nExperience with network device emulation or simulation tools (e.g., EVE-NG, GNS3, Cisco CML) or network automation libraries (e.g., Netmiko, NAPALM, Ansible)\nExperience building parsers or normalizing multi-vendor device data\nFamiliarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), SDN, or SD-WAN\nExperience with Docker, Kubernetes, or virtualized environments\nExperience with web UI automation (e.g., Selenium) for resource-level verification\nWhat We Offer\nOur comprehensive compensation package is vital in how we recognize the impact that our people make in helping us achieve our goals.\nFor this role, the estimated base salary range is between CAD 96,000 - CAD 110,000 plus potential bonus. The actual salary may vary based on a range of factors, including market and individual qualifications objectively assessed during the interview process.\nPlease note that the range provided is a guideline, and may be modified.
