Network Development Engineer, Platform Development

What We Need

NetBrain is looking for a Network Development Engineer with a focus on Platform Development to join our growing Platform team. In this role, you will apply deep Python expertise and networking knowledge to design and build scalable integration solutions that power Net Brain’s automation platform. You will work directly with enterprise customers to understand real-world networking challenges and translate them into robust, production-grade platform capabilities

This role combines strong software engineering expertise with deep networking knowledge and direct customer collaboration. Unlike a traditional backend-only development role, engineers in this position work closely with enterprise customers to understand real-world networking challenges and design scalable platform and integration solutions.

What You'll Do

* Design, develop, and maintain high-quality Python services and APIs that power Net Brain’s automation platform.
* Partner with customers and internal stakeholders to understand networking requirements and translate them into platform features.
* Own API design, feature decomposition, and technical design reviews for new platform capabilities.
* Apply strong software engineering practices: code reviews, design patterns, edge case handling, failure modeling, and production-readiness.
* Collaborate with cross-functional teams on integration design and delivery.
* May need to work on customers' platform cases when needed.

What You Bring

* 2–4 years of hands-on Python development with emphasis on code quality, design patterns, and API design.
* Solid understanding of networking fundamentals: routing & switching (BGP, OSPF, MPLS, STP, RSTP), QoS, firewall concepts, SD-WAN, and cloud networking.
* Proven experience with API integration design and building production-grade services.
* Ability to handle edge cases, failure scenarios, and production concerns with rigor.
* Strong verbal and written communication skills; comfortable engaging directly with enterprise customers.
* Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
* Nice to have: Networking or Cloud certifications (CCNA, CCNP, AWS, Azure); experience with cloud-native architectures or AI tooling.
