This position is tailored for a seasoned developer who loves bridging the gap between software engineering and infrastructure operations (NetDevOps). You will be responsible for building robust automation tooling used directly by network operations teams to manage critical infrastructure. This involves everything from developing the backend logic and workflow engines to creating clean, operator-driven web UIs and APIs. Operating in a cloud-native AWS environment, you will also have the opportunity to leverage advanced AI-assisted development tools (such as Kiro) to accelerate design, testing, and iteration.
