Network Simulation Platform Lead

we are building an internal carrier-grade testbeda cloud-native platform that spins up realistic ISP-level topologies on Azure AKS so every engineer can validate new routing features straight from the monorepo. As Network Simulation Platform Lead you will architect, code and operate this infrastructure, weaving it into our GitHub Actions → Argo CD pipeline and mentoring a small DevOps-minded team.
What you will do
Design & build the platform  develop Python services, Kubernetes operators and Temporal/Airflow workflows that simulate BGP, EVPN, fail-overs and traffic storms.
Own cloud & container operations  deploy, scale and troubleshoot high-throughput networking workloads on Azure AKS; craft custom Docker images and automate resource lifecycle management.
Integrate with CI/CD  plug the simulation framework into our nx-based monorepo using GitHub Actions and GitOps with Argo CD; provide one-click, self-service environment spin-up/down for development and testing.
Champion DevOps practices  manage Helm/kubectl manifests, secrets, observability hooks and automated cleanup; keep infra-as-code tidy and reviewable.
Lead the team  mentor
