Network Developer

Role Overview

As a Network Developer with 1-3 years of experience, you'll be working with senior engineers and network architects to build, automate, maintain, and optimize network infrastructure. You'll gain hands-on exposure to network protocols, devices, cloud networking, monitoring, and the kinds of challenges that come with operating networks at scale. This is a growth role where learning, collaboration, and problem solving are key.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in designing, deploying, and maintaining network components - routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, etc.

• Write automation scripts (e.g. Python, Bash) to streamline repetitive network tasks (configuration, deployment, monitoring).

• Troubleshoot network issues: connectivity, latency, path failures, etc.

• Monitor network performance and health; use tools to collect metrics, logs; help with root cause analysis of incidents.

• Support configuration management: versioning, backups, change tracking.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (DevOps, Security, Systems) to ensure network changes are aligned with overall system requirements.

• Document network architecture, processes, diagrams, standard operating procedures.

• Stay updated on networking standards, protocols, best practices.Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent OR equivalent hands-on experience.

• 1-3 years of experience in network development, network operations, or related roles.

• Basic to intermediate knowledge of networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing & switching (OSPF/BGP encouraged).

• Experience with network monitoring / diagnostic tools (ping, traceroute, Wireshark, etc.).

• Some scripting ability (Python, Bash, or similar) for automation and tooling.

• Understanding of configuration management / version control (Git or similar).

• Good problem-solving skills, ability to analyze logs, trace issues.

• Communication skills for collaborating with other teams and writing documentation.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with cloud networking (AWS VPC, Azure Virtual Network, Google Cloud networking).

• Experience with Software-Defined Networking (SDN) or virtualization (VXLAN, GENEVE, etc.).

• Certifications such as Cisco CCNA, Juniper JNCIA, or equivalent.

• Exposure to infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.).

• Understanding of network security (firewalls, VPNs, ACLs, etc.).

What You'll Learn / Growth

• Hands-on experience with enterprise-scale networks and cloud infrastructure.

• More automation, scripting, and tool building.

• Exposure to network design, planning, and architecture.

• Opportunity to move into specialization (e.g. security, performance, routing, SDN) or senior roles.
