Job description, responsibilities and duties

Are you ready to embark on an exhilarating journey into the world of network services and automation? We're seeking a highly skilled and adventurous individual to join our team as a Network Services & Automation Engineer. If you're passionate about technology, love tinkering with networks, and have a knack for automation, this is the job for you!


Joining OINIS (Orange International Networks Infrastructures and Services) means evolving in an international, multicultural and technological environment. This rich environment will give you opportunities to grow, you will learn from our teams’ experiences and we will learn from yours. We aim to become a key player in the evolution of the network and services and to offer our customers a unique experience:

• The Business market (via Orange Business): with the design, deployment and supervision of international terrestrial, submarine, and satellite networks
• The international voice and data wholesale market
• Orange subsidiaries with their interconnection needs.

Within the NEST (Network Engineering, Strategy and Transformation) department, INSIDE (Infrastructures, Networks, Services Development &Engineering) aims to sustain Enterprise and International Wholesale Business growth in developing and supporting customer end-to-end infrastructure and services.


Your Role

Within INSIDE department, the Enterprise Services team is mainly in charge of studying and delivering solutions for French and International B2B customers, including tailor-made offers. In this context, the team needs to model several services (L3VPN, L2VPN, IPSEC based services, switch aggregation….) & develop modules to be able to automate service production and configuration (creation, deletion & modification of such services). Team is based in France.

Another team, called Life Cycle, is mainly in charge of optimizing our life cycle activities in delivering common software foundations. In this context, validation of key functions and services on our International PE routers is required before a software is deployed. Tests needs to become more and more automated in order to speed-up our regular test cycle completion and to be more flexible in to face our supplier technical issues. Team is mostly based in Bratislava, Slovakia.

A transverse team, responsible for service modeling, has been created with engineers from both teams. This team is growing, therefore we open this job position in Bratislava.


Your daily activities will be:

• to model specific L3 & L2 Orange Business Services
• to develop modules needed for specific projects linked to the automation of VPN network services or functions (e.g. using Cisco NSO network controller).
• to develop & maintain required automation framework in a lab (e.g. tests to integrate into dedicated Web Portal & Scheduler and/or in a CI/CD chain upon needs using Ansible, GITLAB CI, Robot Framework…)
• to validate network functions or services in a lab: you need to understand them as a pre-requisite to their proper automation and modeling.
• to automate network tests (in Python) which are executed in a lab representative of our International MPLS VPN networks.
• to transfer knowledge to the operational engineers who will use the tests automated or the service modules developed.
