Network DevOps Engineer

Rabobank is looking for a senior Network DevOps Engineer to join the Office Network Squad, responsible for evolving the Office Networks. The squad builds new capabilities for Office Network services — new services (e.g. IoT networking), platform evolution (e.g. migration to Aruba New Central), and automation, Infrastructure as Code, and internal platforms for network operations. An engineering-focused Agile role (~50/50 networking and development) with limited operational interrupt work, but responsibility for delivering scalable, future-proof solutions in a large enterprise environment.

• Design and deliver new network features and services.
• Contribute to designs, standards, and reference architectures.
• Translate refined features (PBIs) into working technical solutions (~90% independently).
• Build automation, IaC, and internal tools/platforms for network deployment and management.
• Develop reusable code and integrate with APIs and external systems.
• Validate solutions (testing, pre/post checks) and ensure production readiness.
• Stay involved post-delivery to ensure a high-quality handover to operations.
• Act as escalation point (L3+) for complex technical challenges.
• Collaborate with the Office Networking Squad to deliver maintainable and operable solutions.
• Participate in Agile/Scrum ceremonies focused on backlog and roadmap delivery.

• Strong understanding of enterprise networking fundamentals.
• Good understanding of SD-WAN architectures, including overlays and underlying connectivity (IPsec, segmentation, routing behaviour).
• Experience with authentication and NAC concepts (802.1X, RADIUS, ClearPass-level understanding).
• Strong Python development skills — structured, reusable code, beyond scripting.
• Experience building and maintaining automation frameworks and/or internal tools.
• Experience with REST APIs and system integration.
• Strong experience with Git-based workflows.
• Ability to take ownership of features from refinement to delivery.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to challenge design decisions constructively.
• Nice to have: Aruba SD-Branch / Central / ClearPass (or comparable enterprise networking / SD-WAN / NAC platforms).
• Nice to have: Infrastructure as Code (design + maintain), CI/CD pipelines, Kong API gateway, Azure DevOps pipelines and Azure Functions.
• Senior-level engineer at the intersection of network engineering and software development — proactive, ownership-driven, focused on quality and long-term solutions.
