Software Engineer - DDI Solution, ISS

SHOULD YOU ACCEPT THIS CHALLENGE...

We are looking for a Python software developer to design and implement the corporate IPAM/DDI solution.

You will work across hardware, networking, and platform teams to ensure infrastructure is discoverable, automated, reliable, and ready for self-service consumption.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO BRING TO THIS ROLE...

Defined Network Services: IPAM, DDI & CMDB

• Strong enterprise software development experience in Python.
• Design and implement the software solution and manage its operation at scale for the whole company.
• Design and implementation of the corporate IP Address Management (IPAM) and DDI (DNS, DHCP, IPAM) platforms.
• Design scalable IP allocation, DNS, and DHCP strategies across multiple datacenters and environments.
• Integrate IPAM/DDI systems with provisioning, bootstrapping, and CMDB workflows.
• Act as a steward of the CMDB, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and automation-driven updates.

Monitoring, Observability, and Reliability

• Implement and improve monitoring, alerting, and dashboards for infrastructure health (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Nagios or similar).
• Define and track key metrics (availability, latency, capacity, error rates), and drive improvements based on data.
• Participate in incident response, perform root cause analysis, and implement longterm fixes and runbooks.

Build API and Integration around IPAM Solution

• Develop APIs and integrations to orchestrate infrastructure workflows (compute, storage, network, cloud) around the IPAM solution.
• Build solutions for dynamically allocating and recycling IPs for compute infrastructure and workflows.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS (EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE)

• Strong python programming knowledge and enterprise software development experience
• Deep knowledge of IPAM, DNS, and DHCP at enterprise scale.
• Experience in designing, developing, and maintaining the corporate DDI solution as code.
• Familiar with bare-metal provisioning and hypervisor deployment.
• Hands-on experience with Puppet and Ansible or similar automation tools.
• Experience operating or integrating CMDB systems as a source of truth.
• Solid knowledge of datacenter networking concepts, including Fibre Channel.
• Proficiency with Linux systems and troubleshooting at hardware and OS layers.

Automation & Systems Thinking

• Experience building infrastructure automation and onboarding pipelines.
• Familiarity with API-driven integrations and workflow orchestration.
• Ability to reason about infrastructure as a platform, not just individual systems.

Collaboration & Ownership

• Comfortable working cross-functionally with hardware, software, storage, and SRE teams.
• Strong operational mindset with a focus on reliability, correctness, and supportability.
• Ability to drive ambiguous problems to clear, automated solutions.

Nice to Have

• Experience with large-scale internal platforms or "infrastructure as a product."
• Background in SRE/DevOps.
• Exposure to self-service infrastructure platforms and developer enablement.
• Experience operating in multi-datacenter or hybrid environments.
• Server Bootstrapping & Provisioning Automation
• Familiarity with datacenter bootstrapping services, including PXE, imaging, and initial OS/hypervisor provisioning.
