8ThpSD BZd5jqaw dgZWx8JR – Network Management & DDI — Riverton, UT

We are looking for a Python Software Engineer to design and develop software platforms for enterprise network and infrastructure management, with a particular focus on DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI/IPAM).

This is primarily a software development role. You will build Python services, APIs, automation frameworks, and integrations that manage network resources and provide infrastructure capabilities as programmable, self-service services.

You will work closely with networking, datacenter, compute, storage, and platform engineering teams to transform traditionally manual network-management processes into scalable, API-driven software solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Python Software Development

• Design, develop, test, and maintain production-quality software primarily in Python.

• Build scalable backend services, APIs, libraries, and automation frameworks for infrastructure and network management.

• Apply modern software engineering practices including code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD, version control, API design, and software lifecycle management.

• Design software that can reliably operate across multiple datacenters and large infrastructure environments.

• Troubleshoot complex software and distributed-system problems and implement sustainable fixes.

W5Hsjhz Q4bMVXsUGV rJ76qpCr – DNS, DHCP & IPAM

• Design and develop software solutions for enterprise DNS, DHCP, and IP Address Management (DDI/IPAM).

• Build software for automated IP allocation, reservation, discovery, reclamation, and lifecycle management.

• Develop APIs and workflows for managing DNS records, DHCP configuration, subnets, address pools, leases, and related network resources.

• Build integrations between DDI/IPAM platforms and compute, networking, provisioning, cloud, and datacenter systems.

• Develop software to automate network-resource onboarding and configuration across multiple datacenters and environments.

• Help establish authoritative infrastructure data and source-of-truth models for network resources.

APIs, Automation & Platform Integration

• Design and implement REST APIs and other programmatic interfaces for network and infrastructure services.

• Build integrations with infrastructure platforms, CMDBs, provisioning systems, and automation frameworks.

• Develop event-driven and workflow-based automation for infrastructure lifecycle management.

• Build solutions that dynamically allocate and recycle IP addresses and other network resources for compute infrastructure.

• Integrate network-management services with bare-metal provisioning, PXE/network boot, virtualization, and cloud workflows.

• Enable infrastructure capabilities to be consumed through APIs and self-service platforms rather than manual operational processes.

Reliability & Observability

• Build monitoring, metrics, logging, and health-check capabilities into network-management services.

• Implement dashboards and alerting using technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or similar platforms.

• Define and track service metrics such as availability, latency, capacity, error rates, and resource utilization.

• Participate in incident response and root-cause analysis for software and network-management services.

• Improve reliability through automation, testing, observability, and operational tooling.

Required Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of relevant experience

• Bachelor's degree required

Software Engineering

• Strong Python programming skills and professional software development experience.

• Experience designing and developing production backend services and applications.

• Experience developing software that integrates with external systems through APIs, databases, messaging systems, or event-driven architectures.

• Strong Linux development and troubleshooting skills.

• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including:

• Object-oriented and modular software design

• REST API design

• Data structures and algorithms

• Automated testing

• Git and modern development workflows

• CI/CD

• Debugging and performance troubleshooting

Networking & DDI

• Solid understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, subnets, routing, VLANs, DNS, and DHCP.

• Experience with or strong knowledge of IP Address Management (IPAM).

• Understanding of DNS zones, records, resolution, DHCP scopes, leases, reservations, and IP address lifecycle management.

• Experience developing or integrating network-management systems through APIs.

• Ability to translate networking requirements into maintainable software abstractions and automated workflows.

Infrastructure Automation

• Experience with infrastructure automation tools such as Ansible, Puppet, or similar technologies.

• Familiarity with CMDB or infrastructure source-of-truth systems.

• Understanding of bare-metal provisioning and infrastructure lifecycle management.

• Experience building automated infrastructure onboarding and provisioning workflows.

Collaboration & Ownership

• Comfortable working across software engineering, networking, compute, storage, datacenter, and SRE teams.

• Ability to take ownership of a software service from architecture and development through deployment and production operations.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to turn ambiguous infrastructure requirements into well-defined software solutions.

• Strong focus on automation, reliability, maintainability, and scalability.

Nice to Have

• Experience developing or operating enterprise DDI/IPAM platforms such as Nautobot, NetBox, Infoblox, BlueCat, Kea DHCP, BIND, or similar technologies.

• Experience building network automation or network management software.

• Experience with FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar Python frameworks.

• Experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases.

• Experience with Kubernetes, containers, and cloud-native application development.

• Experience with event-driven architectures, message queues, or workflow engines.

• Experience with large-scale internal infrastructure platforms or Infrastructure as a Product.

• SRE or DevOps experience.

• Experience with multi-datacenter or hybrid-cloud environments.

• Familiarity with PXE, network boot, OS imaging, and server bootstrap/provisioning systems.
