What You’ll Be Doing…

As a Network Engineer, your primary focus is to evaluate how our network is managed and identify manual tasks that should be converted into automated workflows. You will study existing operational habits and system data to find inefficiencies.

• Analyze Operational Workflows: Review current network management processes and alarm data to identify repetitive manual interventions.
• Identify Automation Opportunities: Pinpoint specific areas where scripts or automated logic can replace manual troubleshooting or configuration steps.
• Evaluate Business Impact: Conduct deep-dive investigations into various systems to determine which process improvements will provide the most significant time and cost savings.
• Align with Global Strategy: Coordinate with the US-based engineering team to ensure your automation proposals solve current operational bottlenecks.

What We’re Looking For…

You are a logical thinker who naturally looks for ways to make technical work more efficient. You enjoy deconstructing a complex manual process and figuring out the step-by-step logic required to automate it.

You’ll need to have:

• Bachelor’s degree with one or more years of professional work experience.
• Significant experience in Networking and knowledge of Network Automation.
• Functional knowledge of scripting and database management to develop integrated technical solutions.
• Analytical experience: The ability to look at complex technical datasets and identify patterns that suggest a need for a new automation.
• The ability to quickly learn and navigate internal systems to gather data for process reviews.
• Willingness to work a schedule that includes overlap with US Day shift.

Even better if you have:

• A degree in Computer Science or a related field.
• Experience interpreting existing automation scripts to improve or expand their functionality.
• Proficiency in Agile methodologies and Jira to track development lifecycles
• The ability to explain technical process changes to both end-users and global stakeholders.

If Verizon and this role sound like a fit for you, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every “even better” qualification listed above.
