Network Automation Engineer - Global Tech.

Network Automation Engineer | €140k pro rata | Cork (Hybrid) | 6-Month Contract

Most network roles ask you to keep the lights on. This one asks you to automate the lights.

A global tech leader in Cork needs a hands-on network engineer who's as comfortable in a switch config as in a Python script. You'll run and upgrade enterprise switching, routing and wireless across data centre and campus environments. You'll also help build the automation, including AI-driven tooling, that takes the manual work out of it.

The work

• Design, upgrade and support L2/L3 networks and wireless infrastructure
• Automate provisioning, config and troubleshooting with Python, Ansible and REST APIs
• Get to the root cause of complex issues, not just the quick fix

You'll have

• 5+ years in enterprise networking, at CCNP level
• Strong hands-on experience with VLANs, STP, MC-LAG, VRRP, OSPF and BGP
• Automation you've actually built, not just run
• Experience with Cisco, Arista, Juniper or Dell kit

Bonus points if you've used LLMs or multi-agent workflows to build or test automation.

The Offer: €140,000 per annum pro rata, depending on experience. It's a 6-month contract - PAYE, hybrid with 3 days a week on site in Cork, paid weekly as PAYE through Principle HR.
