Shape the AI buildout

About Netris

Netris is the leading network automation platform for AI clouds. AI is the largest infrastructure buildout in history, and networking is its bottleneck. Netris is the automation and multi-tenancy layer for AI cloud networking, enabling operators to launch GPU clouds in weeks, provision tenants instantly, and maximize GPU utilization. The company experienced 800% ARR growth in the last 12 months, with 35+ live GPU cluster deployments globally and growing, and is backed by Andreessen Horowitz. SDN reinvented data center networking, and Netris is doing it for the AI cloud with NAAM: Network Automation, Abstraction, and Multi-Tenancy.

The role

This is a hands-on engineering role combining network engineering, validation, and network automation. The ideal candidate has strong data center networking knowledge and the ability to design and implement automated test frameworks that validate complex network features, configurations, protocols, and end-to-end traffic behavior.

The engineer will work closely with Network Validation, Engineering, Architecture, and Product teams to improve validation coverage, accelerate release qualification, and reduce manual testing.

What you’ll do

• Designing and developing automated network validation tests.
• Building reusable automation libraries and test frameworks.
• Converting existing manual network validation scenarios into reliable automated tests.
• Automating configuration, verification, and cleanup of test environments.
• Validating control-plane and data-plane behavior.
• Integrating automated validation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Investigating test failures and performing network-level troubleshooting.
• Improving test coverage, reliability, execution time, and reporting.
• Working with Network Validation Engineers to identify high-value automation opportunities.
• Collaborating with Engineering and Architecture teams to ensure new networking features are testable from the design phase.
• Contributing to release qualification and regression testing.

What we’re looking for

• 6+ years of experience in networking, network automation, network validation, or a similar engineering role.
• Strong experience developing network automation using Python, Terraform.
• Experience designing and maintaining automated network validation and test suites.
• Strong understanding of modern data center networking.
• Experience validating network configurations, control-plane state, routing behavior, and data-plane traffic.
• Experience interacting with network devices using APIs, CLI, and automation interfaces.
• Strong Linux troubleshooting and scripting skills.
• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines.
• Ability to troubleshoot complex networking issues and distinguish between product, configuration, infrastructure, and automation failures.

Preferred qualifications

The successful candidate should have strong knowledge of:

• Python
• Terraform
• pytest or similar test automation frameworks
• Linux, Bash/Shell scripting
• Git and CI/CD pipelines
• Routing and switching fundamentals
• BGP, EVPN, VXLAN
• VRFs and network segmentation
• IPv4 and IPv6
• Data center leaf-spine architectures

Experience with network automation technologies such as gNMI, gRPC, NETCONF, RESTCONF, YANG, Ansible, or Nornir is a strong plus.

Experience with Batfish is a plus.
