  • Network Management and Optimization:
    Monitor network performance, conduct tuning and audits, and troubleshoot complex issues to minimize downtime. Maintain detailed network documentation and implement strategies for continuous improvement.

  • Stakeholder Collaboration and Research:

  • 10-12+ years of networking experience required.

  • 2-3+ years of network architecture experience required.

  • Deep understanding of network infrastructure, protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VxLANs), and services (e.g., DNS, DHCP, VPNs, SD-WAN).

  • Hands-on experience with network hardware (e.g., routers, switches, firewalls) and network monitoring tools.

  • Strong knowledge of security practices, including firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, and VPNs.

  • Proficiency with Multi-cloud networking (e.g., AWS (Preferred), GCP or Azure) and software-defined networking (SDN). Relative Qualifications (e.g. AWS Certified Advanced Networking - Specialty) beneficial.

  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
