Senior NetDevOps Engineer

Porto

Descrição da posição

We are building out our Network and Security Automation team and are seeking a senior NetDevOps Engineer to join its Porto office.

The team operates a multi-vendor, multi-environment infrastructure. The role requires a seasoned network and security engineer who has developed strong automation capabilities: someone who can translate complex manual network configurations into Ansible/Python code autonomously, without requiring validation from a separate network engineering resource.

The team uses Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) as its orchestration layer and is actively integrating AI-assisted development tooling (GitHub Copilot) and MCP server capabilities into its workflow.


Responsibilities:

  • Translate existing manual network and security configurations into automated Ansible playbooks and Python scripts
  • Develop and maintain automation workflows across a multi-vendor environment (Fortinet, Arista, and others) using Ansible and AAP
  • Operate autonomously on network tasks: designing, testing, and validating automation outputs without dependency on a separate network engineer
  • Contribute to the team's VLAB automation framework, integrating new use cases and scaling existing ones
  • Leverage GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted tooling to accelerate code development
  • Participate in the integration and development of MCP (Model Context Protocol) server capabilities within the infrastructure
  • Manage version control and testing pipelines via GitLab
  • Collaborate with operations, systems, and security teams based in Porto


Requirements

  • Senior-level background in network and/or security engineering: hands-on experience with physical infrastructure, routing, switching, firewall management (Fortinet strongly valued), Arista
  • Demonstrated ability to automate network infrastructure using Ansible and Python: translating manual configurations into code
  • Experience with Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) is a plus; core Ansible proficiency is mandatory
  • Practical knowledge of FortiGate (FortiOS CLI, REST API) and/or Checkpoint (SmartCenter API, Cpshell)
  • Familiarity with GitLab for version control and CI/CD pipelines
  • Exposure to MCP servers and AI-assisted development tooling (GitHub Copilot or equivalent) is a strong differentiator
  • Cloud-only automation profiles (AWS/Azure without physical network background) will not meet requirements
