Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced Technical Solution Designer with 8 to 15 years of experience who combines deep network domain knowledge with strong hands-on expertise in automation frameworks, APIs, event-driven architectures, and cloud-native tooling. The ideal candidate will translate complex network and business requirements into scalable, standards-aligned architectural blueprints and reference designs that span multiple network domains.

Key Responsibilities/Job Description

  • Design end-to-end network automation solution architectures spanning orchestration, inventory, compliance, and observability layers.
  • Develop reference architectures and detailed solution blueprints for multi-domain network automation (IP/MPLS, optical, mobile RAN/Core, SD-WAN, cloud).
  • Define integration patterns for northbound and southbound APIs, resource-facing interfaces, and event-driven message exchanges.
  • Ensure solutions align with industry standards such as TM Forum Open APIs (TMF), IETF, ONF, ETSI NFV, and 3GPP.
  • Produce solution design artifacts including High-Level Designs (HLD), Low-Level Designs (LLD), interface control documents, and data models.
  • Architect automation workflows for network service orchestration, lifecycle management, and activation.
  • Design resource and service inventory models aligned with TMF SID/eTOM frameworks.
  • Define compliance and configuration governance strategies leveraging Config-as-Code and GitOps principles.
  • Drive the adoption of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tooling (Terraform, Ansible, Helm) for network resource provisioning.
  • Design Kafka-based event streaming and messaging architectures for real-time network telemetry and automation triggers.
  • Define observability strategies covering metrics, logs, traces, and network telemetry pipelines.
  • Architect AIOps capabilities including closed-loop automation, anomaly detection, and predictive analytics for network operations.
  • Integrate OSS observability with cloud-native monitoring stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Elasticsearch).
  • Lead design of intent-based networking and policy-driven automation frameworks.
  • Collaborate with product managers, network engineers, platform teams, and DevOps practitioners to drive solution design to implementation.
  • Present architectural proposals to senior technical and business stakeholders, driving consensus and sign-off.
  • Guide and mentor development teams on best practices for network automation and cloud-native OSS development.
  • Evaluate and recommend open-source tools, frameworks, and vendor solutions relevant to network automation.
  • Contribute to OSS community, standards bodies, and internal knowledge repositories.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 8–15 years of experience in network automation, OSS solution design, or network architecture roles.
  • Proven expertise in designing solutions for network orchestration and activation platforms.
  • Strong knowledge of network resource APIs and interfaces: NETCONF/YANG, RESTCONF, gNMI/gRPC, OpenConfig, SNMP.
  • Experience with TMF Open APIs (TMF641, TMF639, TMF638, TMF640, TMF642, TMF652) for service and resource management.
  • Hands-on experience with Config-as-Code and Infrastructure-as-Code tools: Ansible, Terraform, Helm, GitOps workflows.
  • Strong understanding of Apache Kafka: topic design, partitioning, consumer groups, schema registry, and Kafka Streams.
  • Experience designing event-driven microservices and publish-subscribe integration patterns for telemetry and automation.
  • Solid understanding of SDN principles, controllers (ONOS, ODL, Nokia NSP, Cisco NSO), and programmable networking.
  • Good knowledge of NFV frameworks (ETSI NFV MANO, VNF/CNF lifecycle management).
  • Understanding of AIOps platforms and closed-loop automation design for network operations.
  • Experience with observability tooling: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, Loki, ELK Stack.
  • Knowledge of ML/AI model integration for anomaly detection, root-cause analysis, and predictive network management.
  • Strong grasp of TM Forum frameworks: eTOM, TAM, SID, and Open Digital Architecture (ODA).
  • Familiarity with IETF network automation standards (RFC 8040, RFC 6241, YANG data models).
  • Understanding of ONF TAPI, MEF LSO standards, and 3GPP OSS interfaces for mobile networks.
  • Prior experience working in a telco, CSP, or large enterprise network engineering environment.
  • Must have CCNA or equivalent network certification

Nice to have skills:

  • Hands-on development experience with Python, Go, or Java for network automation tooling.
  • Understanding of zero-touch provisioning (ZTP), self-healing networks, and autonomous network operations.
  • Experience with digital twin concepts for network simulation and what-if analysis.
  • Exposure to intent-based networking (IBN) and policy frameworks (OPA, TOSCA).

Information Security Responsibilities

  • Promote and enforce awareness of key information security practices, including acceptable use of information assets, malware protection, and password security protocols
  • Identify, assess, and report security risks, focusing on how these risks impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets
