Network Automation Engineer

Drive network automation forward across Denmark’s largest service provider network.
TDC NET is at the forefront of creating the digital infrastructure of the future, ensuring that Denmark remains a leader in technological development with the fastest fixed connections and the best mobile network available. Our team is committed to planning and developing our fully converged IP/MPLS network, providing a reliable foundation for the various services that our customers depend on – both now and in the future.

About the job
As our new Network Automation Engineer, you will serve as the technical and strategic bridge between IP Networks and IT, with a dual focus:

• Maintaining and driving the evolution of our current stack (mediation layer) used for automated service provisioning across our multi-vendor network.
• Driving the transition towards adopting a commercial provisioning and orchestration platform for our IP network.

The position combines deep insight into service provider networking with software engineering competencies. The ideal candidate is comfortable balancing day-to-day practical software engineering with long-term platform evolution.

Your responsibilities will include, among other things:

• Play a pivotal role in the end-to-end process of identifying, evaluating, and preparing for the implementation of a commercial automation/orchestration product (e.g., Cisco NSO or alternatives), including driving assessments, feature gap analyses, roadmaps, and high-level architecture, and ensuring alignment with stakeholders across Network, IT, Architecture, and Operations.
• Own and maintain the current mediation layer codebase, ensuring stability, incremental improvements, and support for new backbone services on Cisco, Juniper, and Nokia platforms.
• Bridge IT (OSS Core) and IP Network domains by translating business system logic into network-ready automation workflows – and vice versa.
• Ensure long-term manageability by delivering documentation, coding standards, modular design principles, and best-practice guidelines for automation.
• Support the IP Networks engineering team by integrating new technologies, features, and services into the provisioning stack.

“You will join our specialized IP Networks team responsible for planning and development of our IP network, helping shape the next generation of Denmark’s digital infrastructure”, says Kaare Heinsen.

About you
The ideal candidate will meet most or all of the following:

• Deep understanding of IP networking in a service-provider environment, including MPLS, BGP, L2/L3 VPN, EVPN, QoS, multicast, and multi-vendor operational models.
• Software engineering experience (e.g. PHP, Java, Python, REST APIs and relevant data formats/models such as JSON, XML and YANG). Experience with structured, maintainable software design is essential.
• Practical experience with automation/orchestration platforms and technologies, such as Cisco NSO, Ansible, Netconf/YANG, or similar frameworks.
• Experience working across organizational boundaries, bridging Network Engineering, IT and Operations.
• Ability to think strategically and execute pragmatically, balancing long-term platform direction with short-term operational realities.
• Solid analytical and communication skills, enabling the candidate to act as translator between business logic, application developers, and network engineers.
• Experience with OSS/BSS integration, mediation layer concepts, service provisioning models, and API/adapter design.
• Solid problem-solving ability and ability to work in lab-to-production workflows.
• Ability to obtain and maintain security clearance from Danish authorities. Eligibility for security clearance requires EU citizenship or residence in the EU for at least seven years.
