  • Proficiency in automation and scripting, primarily with Ansible, Terraform, and Python.
  • Understanding of networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, OSI model, routing/switching, and ACLs.

  • Knowledge of cloud connectivity for AWS and Azure.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with tools such as Datadog and Algosec.
  • Troubleshooting skills in routing/switching environments, especially with VRF and VXLAN.
  • Familiarity with Agile/SAFe work methodologies.
  • Experience working in large, complex global enterprise networks.
