• Deep expertise in BGP/VPN/VRFs, QoS and multicast.
• Hands‑on experience designing, building and maintaining automated workflows to manage network infrastructure, shifting from manual CLI configuration to Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
• Firm foundation in network analysis and monitoring: sniffers, Grafana, Splunk, telemetry, and modern observability tooling.
• Provide Tier‑3 escalation support for complex network incidents and outages.
• Curiosity, strong ownership mindset, and a demonstrated ability to evolve and improve existing network solutions in production environments.
