Solid knowledge of NETCONF, RESTCONF, gRPC, YANG, OpenAPI, and API-driven architectures.
Strong understanding of segment routing, and network telemetry.
Experience with Kubernetes, containers, cloud-native architectures, DevOps, and CI/CD.
Proven experience using AI-assisted coding tools such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, or equivalent

Ideal Candidate

Combines OSS/NMS expertise, carrier-grade networking knowledge, strong software engineering and system design skills, cloud-native development experience, and the ability to leverage AI-assisted development to deliver innovative operational solutions
