Network & Automation Engineer – NetDevOps (M/F)

Project overview

As part of the evolution and industrialization of its network infrastructures, our client wishes to strengthen its teams with a Network & Automation Engineer (NetDevOps).

The main objective of the mission is to identify, design, and develop use cases for automating network infrastructure operations and configurations.

In the medium term, the client also plans to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to improve operational efficiency, analysis, and automation of network activities.

The consultant must therefore have solid network expertise, combined with development and automation skills.
