• Experience troubleshooting network issues in a production environment.
• Working knowledge of firewall policies and network security fundamentals.
• Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to work independently.
• Self‑motivated, curious, and interested in learning new technologies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Aruba switching and/or wireless technologies.
• Experience with Cisco networking technologies.
• Experience with Palo Alto firewalls.
• Experience with Juniper/Junos networking platforms.
• Exposure to SD‑WAN technologies such as VeloCloud, Viptela, Silver Peak, or similar.
