Senior Python Engineer (DriveNets)

We are looking for Senior Python Engineer – Network Orchestration to join DriveNets team 😊

About DriveNets

DriveNets is a rapidly growing software company that has created a radical new way for service providers and hyperscalers to build their networking infrastructure. DriveNets Network Cloud and DriveNets Network Cloud-AI are new innovative networking solutions that apply the cloud architectural approach to high-scale networking. They bring together the scalability of standard Ethernet Clos architecture with the high performance and reliability of service provider networking, delivering optimal networking performance, scale and cost structure for service providers and hyperscalers.

The Role

We are building a cloud-native network orchestration platform running on Kubernetes, responsible for automating the lifecycle of L2/L3 services across tier-1 ISP router networks.

In this role, you will design and implement Temporal-based workflows in Python to orchestrate long-running, failure-prone network operations such as service provisioning, modification, reconciliation, and teardown. The work involves coordinating multiple distributed systems, handling partial failures safely, and providing strong observability and auditability for network services at scale.

This is a backend, systems-oriented role focused on workflow correctness, reliability, and operational robustness, not simple scripting or device-by-device automation.

What will you do

• Collaborate with network architects, SRE, and platform teams to define service models and operational behavior
• Design and implement temporal-based workflows and activities in Python, deployed as microservices on Kubernetes
• Implement end-to-end orchestration for Network L2 / L3 VPN service lifecycle
• Configuration generation and deployment
• State verification and reconciliation (pre-checks, provisioning, rollback)
• Integrate with platform and network systems: inventory, topology, IPAM, service catalogs
• Router interfaces (NETCONF, gNMI, REST, CLI-based systems)
• Add observability and operability: metrics, logs, tracing, workflow visibility
• Clear service and workflow audit trails

Required qualifications

• Strong backend engineering experience with Python - at least 5 years
• Experience working with SQL DBs
• Hands-on experience with K8S and Azure/AWS based workloads
• Understanding of networking fundamentals: L2/L3 concepts, routing, MPLS basics
• Network service lifecycle concepts understanding
• Experience writing production-quality code: clear APIs, structured error handling, tests
• Upper-intermediate or higher English level

Nice-to-have qualifications

• Hands-on experience implementing workflow-based orchestration (Temporal or equivalent)
• Experience working with observability systems (Prometheus, Grafana or equivalent)
• Experience with L2VPN / L3VPN provisioning in service-provider networks
• Hands-on experience with network automation technologies: NETCONF/YANG, gNMI/OpenConfig, SNMP, streaming telemetry
• Familiarity with router vendors and platforms (Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Arista, etc.)

Are You ready? 😊

...and of course, your benefits:

• 20 fully paid business days of vacation
• 15 fully paid sick leaves
• 11+ fully paid public holidays
• compensation for health insurance and sport club membership/well-being needs
• English courses
• learning platforms
• ability to work from home or remotely 😊
