• Strong Ansible experience (roles, collections, YAML/JSON data models).
• Git proficiency including branching, pull requests, and semantic versioning.
• Observability fundamentals (Prometheus, Grafana, logging and tracing).
• Source of truth/CMDB systems (NetBox, Nautobot etc.).
• Linux networking (iptables, DHCP, DNS) and strong Bash scripting.
• Workflow orchestration (Temporal or equivalent).
• Network validation and testing tools (pyATS, NAPALM etc.).
• Containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Secure secrets and configuration management (Vault, PKI best practices).
• Experience with data centre fabrics, QoS, and high-performance networking is a plus.
