• Collaborate with Information Security teams to implement network security controls, segmentation strategies, firewall policies, and compliance requirements.
• Evaluate network technologies and provide technical recommendations aligned with established business, architecture, and technology requirements.
• Perform capacity planning, performance analysis, and infrastructure scalability assessments; recommend improvements based on findings.
• Serve as a technical resource and mentor to less experienced network engineers, promoting knowledge sharing and engineering best practices.
• Develop and support automation solutions using scripting and infrastructure-as-code methodologies to improve network operations.
• Participate in architecture reviews, change management processes, technical governance activities, and implementation planning.
• Work with vendors, managed service providers, and technology partners to support operational needs and assigned initiatives.
• Support cloud networking architectures across Azure, AWS, and hybrid environment deployments.
