About this role
Salary: £143,000 - 149,500 per year
Requirements
- Deep expertise in Google Cloud and telecommunications, including AI tools such as Vertex AI Agent Engine, Agent Space, Vertex AI Search, and AI-powered near-real-time network optimization tools.
- Knowledge of data architecture technologies including Spanner Graph, BigQuery (UPM 3.0), Dataplex, and automated data ingestion pipelines.
- Deep understanding of OSS/BSS, CNF/VNF onboarding, 5G Core, and Autonomous Network Operation (ANO) frameworks.
- Experience with intent-driven orchestration, automated root cause analysis (RCA), self-healing workflows, and implementation of the Awareness, Analysis, Decision, Execution (AADE) cycle.
- Knowledge of Authentication, Authorization, and Audit (AAA) controls, Model Armor, and sovereignty and data residency mandates.
- Demonstrated success managing strategic platform deliveries valued at $2M or more in the telecommunications sector.
- Experience with major industry events or standards forums such as MWC or DTW.
- Experience contributing to Level 4/5 autonomy and self-optimizing networks.
- Proven track record delivering large-scale autonomous network transformation programmes.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary architect for the ANO program, leading the transition from reactive network operations to a cognitive, self-healing architecture.
- Lead the design and deployment of intent-driven, closed-loop architectures that translate business goals into automated resource-level adaptations across RAN, Transport, and Core domains.
- Orchestrate cross-domain reasoning systems using AI agents and global telemetry to identify and resolve silent network degradation before it affects users.
- Oversee implementation of the Network Digital Twin using Spanner Graph and BigQuery (UPM 3.0) for real-time root cause analysis and simulation.
- Ensure architectural blueprints align with TM Forum Autonomous Network frameworks, including TMF921 Intent APIs, and the joint Google implementation guide.
- Direct the rollout of the Knowledge Catalog and Dataplex foundation to unify fragmented network telemetry and documentation.
- Lead technical strategy, deal scoping, and implementation of a stateful delivery model with customer executive leadership.
