Job Description
- IP & Broadband (Core + Access + Transmission)
- Design and implement automation frameworks across: IP Core (BNG, routing), Broadband Access (OLT/ONT) & Transmission and transport networks
- Enable automated provisioning, configuration management, and lifecycle operations.
- Develop standard APIs and integration interfaces for network actions.
- Implement configuration compliance and drift management mechanisms.
- Support high availability and resilience readiness (failover, rerouting support).
- Integrate network telemetry into centralized platforms AI-driven diagnostics and closed-loop automation workflows.
- Ensure all automation workflows are secure, auditable, and compliant.
- Data Centre Operations (Infrastructure Automation + Energy & Space Optimization)
- Automate compute, storage, and network provisioning across data center environments.
- Develop runbook automation for operational tasks (restart, failover, scaling).
- Automate patching, upgrades, and lifecycle management.
- Enable infrastructure data pipelines and integrations to support AI-based anomaly detection and predictive maintenance systems.
- Enable event-driven execution workflows from monitoring systems.
- Maintain automation pipelines (CI/CD) for infrastructure operations.
- Ensure robust execution frameworks with rollback and validation mechanisms.
- Enable centralized monitoring of Power consumption (UPS, PDU), Cooling systems (HVAC, CRAC) & Environmental metrics (temperature, airflow, humidity)
- Enable automation readiness for Cooling optimization and airflow balancing and Power utilization tracking (PUE and efficiency metrics)
- Enable execution of optimization actions to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.
- Support data collection and execution readiness for AI-driven energy optimization (cooling efficiency, power balancing).
- Business Innovation & Strategic Projects
- Embed automation-first principles into transformation programs (e.g., iBNG, SiX AntiDDoS, IP-Optical SRv6 Network etc).
- Enable zero-touch provisioning (ZTP) for new deployments.
- Develop API-driven and programmable interfaces for new systems.
- Monitoring, Visibility & Dashboard Enablement
- Implement centralized monitoring frameworks across network and data center domains.
- Enable real-time visibility of performance, utilization, and environmental metrics.
- Integrate telemetry into DCIM and monitoring platforms.
- Support development of Operational dashboards (NOC / CXOps) & Executive dashboards (capacity, utilization, risk)
- Enable alarm ingestion and visualization (without owning RCA logic).
- Enable dashboards that incorporate AI-driven insights (e.g., anomaly indicators, predictive alerts)
- Ensure telemetry pipelines support AI/ML consumption (real-time, structured, high-quality data feeds).
- Automation of Operations
- Develop automation for Provisioning and configuration management, Infrastructure and network lifecycle operations & Runbook automation for repetitive tasks
- Enable execution of Network actions (configuration updates, resets) & Infrastructure actions (restart, scaling)
- Provide secure, standardized APIs for execution.
