Developer for Network Automation Team

Developer for Network Automation Team

Yandex services run seamlessly thanks to the network infrastructure. Tens of thousands of network devices participate in routing and filtering dozens of terabits of traffic per second.

Our team makes managing these devices convenient and safe. We write automation tools to:

• Bring equipment into service. You connect a device — the rest happens automatically.
• Configure a multitude of devices. Network engineers know how the equipment should be configured, and our automation checks if the changes are correct and delivers them to the devices gradually so as not to break anything.
• Perform routine tasks on equipment. Network engineers create scripts for managing devices in the system, and we ensure that the scripts are executed reliably and transparently.

If you are interested in working with network equipment and protocols and creating tools that will be used by the best professionals in the field of network infrastructure, then you will like it here.

What tasks await you

Designing Network Management Systems You will design, develop, and implement large-scale systems for managing network infrastructure.
