This is a high-impact role for an engineer who lives at the intersection of network, dev ops and automation, with the ability to influence strategy while still getting hands-on with modern tooling like Python, Ansible, and CI/CD. You’ll take ownership of a forward-looking automation roadmap, shape how network infrastructure is engineered across access environments, and lead initiatives that drive measurable improvements in reliability, security, and operational efficiency. If you’re energized by solving complex problems, mentoring engineers, and bringing automation-first thinking into large-scale enterprise networks, this is your opportunity to make a lasting impact. Wells Fargo is back in the office, three days a week collaborating for fabulous outcomes! This role has no visa sponsorship or visa transfers.

  • Identify gaps in processes and implement automation to meet Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
  • Design and implement secure, compliant network solutions aligned with regulatory and enterprise standards
  • Assess and manage risk of changes to production systems, ensuring quality and compliance
  • Perform secure implementation of network changes through automated pipelines
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align network and automation initiatives with business goals
  • Lead technical discussions and mentor engineers in both networking and automation best practices
  • Provide implementation guidance, including support outside standard business hours when required

Requirements

  • 5+ years of Network Engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated through one or a combination of the following: work experience, training, military experience, education
  • 5+ years of Infrastructure Automation experience
  • 5+ years of Python scripting and Ansible automation development
  • 3+ years of experience with GitHub Actions, GitHub Copilot, CI/CD pipelines
