A Principal Network Engineer on our team supports the design, deployment, and operations of a large-scale global Oracle cloud computing environment (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - OCI). Primarily focused on operation and support of RDMA/RoCE network fabrics and systems, through a combination of a deep network understanding and automation skills to operate a production environment. As OCI is a cloud-based network with a global footprint, this support will include hundreds of thousands of network devices supporting millions of servers, connected over a mix of dedicated backbone infrastructure and the Internet.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead network lifecycle management initiatives by defining technical objectives, delivery plans, and implementation procedures for large-scale network infrastructure projects.
- Translate high-level network architectures into detailed designs and deployment plans while ensuring scalability, reliability, and operational readiness.
- Serve as the technical lead for moderately complex network projects, coordinating the efforts of multiple engineers across design, deployment, automation, and operational support.
- Design, implement, and support network solutions across data center, backbone, cloud, and service provider environments.
- Partner with service owners and infrastructure teams to ensure network solutions are fully integrated with monitoring, observability, automation, and operational support systems.
- Act as a Tier 2 and specialized escalation point for network incidents, driving root cause analysis, corrective actions, and long-term reliability improvements.
- Lead the investigation and resolution of complex network issues and large-scale service-impacting events.
- Develop automation solutions, tools, and scripts to improve operational efficiency, network reliability, deployment consistency, and incident response.
- Contribute to the design and delivery of network automation frameworks and operational tooling.
- Collaborate closely with product teams, program managers, network leadership, and PMO organizations to align infrastructure capabilities with product and service requirements.
- Partner with vendor engineering teams and account managers to troubleshoot issues, evaluate new technologies, and drive operational improvements.
- Participate in hardware evaluations, RFQ/RFP processes, and adoption of new networking technologies and platforms.
- Drive technology decisions that support business, product, and service objectives.
- Mentor junior engineers through technical guidance, troubleshooting support, design reviews, and knowledge sharing.
- Contribute to engineering best practices, documentation standards, operational excellence, and continuous improvement initiatives.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Strong experience with large-scale network operations, design, and troubleshooting.
- Expertise in routing and switching technologies, including BGP, OSPF, EVPN-VXLAN, MPLS, and data center networking.
- Experience with network automation using Python, Ansible, APIs, or similar technologies.
- Strong understanding of observability, monitoring, telemetry, and incident management.
- Experience working with cloud infrastructure, hyperscale environments, or large-scale distributed systems.
- Ability to lead technical projects and influence outcomes across multiple teams.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in network developer jobs.
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, network engineering, or a related field
- Hands-on experience configuring routers, switches, and firewalls in enterprise environments
- Proficiency with network protocols including BGP, OSPF, MPLS, and TCP/IP

- Experience with network automation tools such as Python, Ansible, or Terraform
- Familiarity with cloud networking platforms including AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud
Tips for Your Network Developer Job Search
Tailor your resume to network layers
Recruiters scan for specific OSI layer experience, so call out whether your work lives at Layer 2, Layer 3, or higher. A resume that lists 'BGP, OSPF, and MPLS configuration in multi-site environments' beats one that just says 'network administration.'
Certify before you filter by seniority
A CCNA, CCNP, or equivalent vendor certification changes which postings you can realistically compete for. Hiring managers at mid-market firms often treat certification as a hard filter, so get it on your resume before targeting those roles.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists network developer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Highlight automation and scripting skills
Network developer postings increasingly require Python, Ansible, or Terraform for infrastructure-as-code workflows. If you have hands-on automation experience, feature it near the top of your resume rather than burying it under hardware configuration history.
Prepare for lab-style technical screens
Many network developer interviews include a live lab where you configure a router, troubleshoot a dropped route, or build a VLAN in a sandboxed environment. Practice on GNS3 or Cisco Packet Tracer so your hands move confidently under pressure.
Negotiate total compensation, not just base
Network developer offers often include on-call stipends, tool allowances, and training budgets that vary widely between employers. Ask about each line item separately during the offer stage so you're comparing the full package, not just the headline salary.
Network Developer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most network developers?
The companies hiring the most network developers right now include Oracle, Fox News Network, and Juniper Networks, with the largest share of openings in California, Washington, and Arizona, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Demand is strongest at large enterprises, managed service providers, and cloud infrastructure firms.
How many network developer jobs are remote?
About 23% of network developer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of June 2026, though availability varies by specialization. Roles focused on network automation, cloud networking, and SDN architecture tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while positions requiring hands-on hardware configuration or on-site data center work are more likely to be fully in-person.
How do you become a network developer?
Start by earning a bachelor's degree in network engineering, computer science, or a closely related field, then pursue an entry-level certification such as the CCNA to validate foundational skills. Build hands-on experience through lab environments, internships, or help-desk roles that expose you to real routing and switching. Gradually specialize in an area like automation, cloud networking, or security, and advance your credentials as your experience grows.
Can you get a network developer job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level network developer roles exist, but they typically require at least a relevant certification and demonstrable lab or project experience. Build a home lab, earn your CCNA, and document your hands-on work with configuration examples or a GitHub repository showing automation scripts. Targeting managed service providers and smaller enterprises gives you a better shot at a first role than competing for positions at large technology companies.
What does the network developer interview process look like?
Most network developer interviews follow a multi-stage format starting with a recruiter screen, then a technical phone interview covering protocol knowledge and troubleshooting scenarios, followed by a hands-on lab assessment where you configure or diagnose a live or simulated network environment. A final round with a hiring manager or team lead typically focuses on past project experience, collaboration style, and how you approach outages or complex architectural decisions.
Where can I find and apply to network developer jobs?
You can find and apply to network developer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers across the United States. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each one that fits.
