We are looking for an Automation Team Lead – Telco / ISP Networking to join our Networking & Platform Automation group and lead the Telco Automation team.
This role focuses on carrier-scale Internet-facing networking, customer connectivity, and complex multi-region routing scenarios.
As part of this role, you will lead a team of automation engineers dedicated to Telco / ISP networking scenarios, while working closely with R&D, Network Engineering, and Customer-facing teams to define automation strategy, ensure high-quality validation of ISP-grade networking architectures, and support large-scale customer integrations.
Responsibilities
Lead and mentor a team of Automation Engineers focused on Telco / ISP networking scenarios
Define and drive the automation strategy for carrier-grade networking validation
Own the design and validation of Internet BGP architectures, multi-region routing, and PoP connectivity
Oversee modeling and testing of complex routing policies, traffic engineering, and failover scenarios
Ensure scalable automation coverage for customer integration flows, including peering and routing validation
Define and maintain realistic Telco / ISP-like test environments (multi-AS, multi-PoP, Internet edge simulations)
Work closely with Network Engineering and Customer teams to analyze, reproduce, and prevent field issues
Drive automation infrastructure improvements, frameworks, and tooling for large-scale networking tests
Set priorities, manage execution, and ensure delivery according to roadmap and business needs.
