What We Need
NetBrain is looking for a Network Development Engineer with a focus on Code Quality to join our Platform team. You will champion software quality across the codebase by designing robust unit tests, driving CI/CD pipeline health, and applying static analysis to prevent regressions before they reach production. This role requires strong Python skills and a genuine passion for testing philosophy and software craftsmanship.
You will directly influence the reliability and maintainability of a platform that automates network operations for the world's largest enterprises. Your testing mindset and code quality standards become the foundation everyone else builds on. The ideal candidate has a philosophy about testing — not just experience with testing tools.
What You'll Do
- Design and implement comprehensive unit test suites: test design, mocking, fixtures, and edge case coverage.
- Establish and maintain static analysis tooling and enforce code quality standards across the platform.
- Contribute to and improve CI/CD pipelines to ensure automated quality gates are effective and reliable.
- Drive testing philosophy across the team — from unit tests through integration and regression testing.
- Debug complex issues using systematic, structured debugging approaches.
- Contribute Python (primary) and a second language (JavaScript/Node.js preferred) to platform quality initiatives.
- May need to work on customers' platform cases when needed.
What You Bring
- 2–4 years of Python development with a strong focus on testing, debugging, and code quality.
- Demonstrated experience with unit test design: mocking, fixtures, test coverage strategies, edge case handling.
- Hands-on experience with static analysis tools (e.g., pylint, flake8, mypy, SonarQube) and CI/CD pipelines.
- A clear testing philosophy: ability to articulate trade-offs between test types and coverage strategies.
- Proficiency in a second programming language; JavaScript/Node.js is a strong asset.
- Systematic debugging approach with the ability to isolate, reproduce, and resolve complex issues.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.
- Nice to have: JavaScript/Node.js experience; familiarity with AI-assisted development tools; networking fundamentals.

What We Do
Founded in 2004, NetBrain Automation is the most widely adopted no-code network automation and visibility platform, providing network operators and engineers with the ability to transform their core workflows associated with hybrid network management. Through the use of desired Intents, any multi-vendor and multi-cloud infrastructure can now be managed from the top-down based upon establishing and maintaining those intents (rather than managing by device configuration alone). By discovering every aspect of any hybrid network, all the way from the edge to the cloud, and transforming this into a robust digital twin which understands the intention of each component, engineers and operators can maintain the integrity of the network by simply managing their intended results. Today, more than 2,500 of the world’s largest enterprises and managed services providers use NetBrain to simplify their management tasks, reduce MTTRs, ensure compliance and provide a top-down understanding of how the network is supporting their business requirements directly. NetBrain is headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, with employees located across the United States and Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, and China
