About the roleThe Network Evolution & Automation department aims to define, design, support, and automate Orange FR & INT’L backbones. It supports the evolution of network connectivity for Orange Business and Orange Wholesale through a reliable, scalable, and scopeless approach.
This department is composed of :
4 Network Engineering and Support teams (EMEA, AMER, APAC, France), primarily responsible for network and service engineering activities, as well as providing network operations and support.
The Platform Lifecycle & Evolution team, responsible for delivering software foundations for OGN/RAEI routers and switches. This team also manages platform engineering, contributes to service development, and supports network automation use cases.
The Network Automation team, made up of network engineers, service engineers, and developers, with the mission to support the ambitions of the transversal Automation program and its associated streams. Its goal is to deliver IT modules and tools that enable automated services and backbone network operations in a scopeless approach.
Automation team hosts a transversal Automation Program with resources and profiles coming from all department teams. It relies on three agile sub-teams:
Backbone Automation team: responsible for automating operations and provisioning of OINIS backbone networks.
Tool Automation team: provides enablers and tools to network automation teams and operational users for L2/L3 network operations.
Service Automation team: offers a common framework for automating OB/OWI service use cases originating from various projects and SAFE programs.
You will be part of this agile service automation team, responsible for modeling several services (e.g., L3VPN, L2VPN, IPSEC-based services, switch aggregation, etc.) and developing modules (e.g., NSO packages) to automate service provisioning and configuration (creation, deletion, and modification).
This team needs to be expanded through this position, based in Slovakia (Bratislava).
Main activities will be:
To modelize specific L3 & L2 Orange Business Services/Orange Wholesale International
To develop modules needed for specific projects linked to the automation of VPN network services or functions (e.g. using Cisco NSO network controller).
To develop & maintain required automation framework in lab (e.g. tests to integrate in dedicated Web Portal & Scheduler and/or in a CI/CD chain upon needs using Ansible, GITLAB CI , Robot Framework…)
To validate network functions or services in a lab: you need to understand them as pre-requisite to their proper automation and modeling.
To automate network tests (in Python) which are executed in a lab representative of our International MPLS VPN networks.
To transfer knowledge to the operational engineers who will use the tests automated or the service modules developed.
Base salary from1 680 € brutto per month, actual salary is likely to be higher based on skills, knowledge and experience.
