Network Automation Engineer

GoDaddy's Network Security Engineering and Operations team is looking for a Network Security Automation Engineer to build and run the software that manages network security at scale. Are you equally comfortable reading a firewall rule base and a CI pipeline?

In this role, you'll own the internal APIs and risk engine behind our network policy management, automate our operational workflows, and find the problems nobody has filed a ticket for! Because this tooling holds privileged access to the network, the role requires real security judgment, not just software skills.

Responsibilities:

• Own and extend the internal APIs and services that drive network security policy management, including our risk calculation engine.
• Automate operational workflows from request intake and validation through change execution, evidence capture and reporting.
• Write, test and maintain production code, partnering with our SRE team on deployment, monitoring and release.
• Integrate with firewalls, segmentation platforms, asset sources, ticketing and network detection tooling through their APIs.
• Help stand up network detection and response capability and automate detection validation across NDR, IDS and IPS.

Requirements:

• 3+ years in network security, network engineering, infrastructure automation or a platform/tooling role, with tools and services you've built and shipped.
• Strong Python proficiency, with tested, maintainable production code.
• Demonstrated network security depth: firewall policy, segmentation, ACLs and routing across devices, hosts and cloud.
• Experience with Git and CI/CD, and enough understanding of containerised deployment to work effectively with SRE teams.
• Fluency with REST APIs, TLS and certificates, and secure coding practices.
• Ability to take a loosely defined problem, propose an approach and deliver it independently.
• Experience using AI tools to solve real engineering problems, with the judgment to know when the output is wrong.

You might also have.

• Experience with Juniper SRX, Palo Alto Networks, Tufin or Illumio.
• Infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform, CloudFormation or Kubernetes; AWS networking, IAM and serverless automation experience.
• Experience automating detections on NDR, IDS or IPS platforms.
• Experience working with flow data, firewall and DNS logs, or SIEM platforms.
