About the role

  • Audit the current network and infrastructure tooling estate, identifying duplication, gaps, and unlicensed/underutilised products
  • Define a target-state tooling strategy covering: network management, observability/monitoring, automation/orchestration, IPAM, and CMDB
  • Design and implement network automation workflows for standard operational tasks (port changes, firewall rule changes, VLAN provisioning)
  • Build out network observability capabilities to provide deterministic visibility across the converged network environment
  • Work with the architecture team to define and implement a CMDB strategy, enabling accurate asset and service dependency data
  • Develop automation to support the transformation programme itself — migration tooling, configuration validation, and audit capabilities
  • Evaluate and rationalise managed service tooling used by the NTT-managed network
  • Provide tooling input into the change management process, enabling automated risk classification and impact assessment

Requirements

  • 8-10 years of experience in network and infrastructure tooling/automation
  • Network automation: Python, Ansible, or similar automation frameworks
  • Network management and monitoring platforms (e.g., SolarWinds, PRTG, Datadog, Grafana, or equivalent)
  • CMDB design and implementation (ServiceNow or similar ITSM platforms)
  • IPAM tools (Infoblox, phpIPAM, or similar)
  • API-driven network management (REST APIs, NETCONF/YANG, Cisco DNA Centre or ACI API)
  • Configuration management and version control for network infrastructure (Git-based workflows)
  • Understanding of DevOps/NetDevOps practices
  • Experience in financial services or similarly regulated environments
  • Knowledge of ServiceNow integration with network management tooling
  • Familiarity with cloud-native observability tools.
Benefits
  • Special Considerations: We are committed to building an inclusive workplace and encourage applications from women and other under-represented groups in tech. All qualified candidates are welcome.
