We would look for the following in a candidate for such position:

Ideally we would like to see a candidate with more Cisco/Aruba (aruba optional) experience on the LAN side. (even if the candidate is more junior in experience).

• Experience with both automation and network Engineering.
• Experience with automation in brown field scenario’s – i.e. to start with not everything will be perfect and any automation will be able to deal with deviations.
• Track record of setting up an automation practice and be able to share knowledge with the rest of the team that are not necessary programmers
• Tools – I would expect an automation engineer a knowledge of common tools like Ansible, Git, Python, etc. but I wouldn’t stare blind on them – i.e. if they have a lot of GitLab experience – then moving to GitHub would be pretty straight forward. Same with any SQL implementation- switching from MS SQL or MySQL to PostgresSQL would be relatively easy.
