You'll guide the design and delivery of automation use cases that reduce manual provisioning, accelerate network configuration, and enable self-managing operations across our wireless, wireline, and edge computing platforms. This is a pivotal role where your vision and influence drive the evolution to autonomous networks - using technologies from machine learning and predictive analytics to AI-enabled orchestration—while building a culture of innovation and continuous improvement within your team.

  • Shape and communicate a vision for autonomous networks to enable self-managing network operations, and foster the adoption of AI, machine learning, and modern software engineering practices within your team
  • Drive the development of a transformational federated inventory system and network digital twin.
  • Foster change by building a culture of continuous improvement in software engineering practices, cloud-based skills, and technical excellence to deliver high-quality solutions at scale

  • Demonstrated expertise in designing and implementing scalable, cloud-based systems and platforms
  • Demonstrated experience leading technical teams through significant transformation and change management initiatives
  • Strong understanding of modern software engineering practices, including DevOps, CI/CD, and agile methodologies

Great-to-haves
