Lead cloud migration efforts and hybrid network rollouts.
Collaborate closely with product and platform teams to define requirements and deliver working solutions.
Participate in testing and troubleshooting in lab and production environments.
Support in-life operations and resolve issues on live networks (some overnight work may be required).
Ensure all designs meet security best practices and compliance standards.
Key Skills & Experience
Required:
Strong experience designing and supporting core networks using Cisco IOS-XR and IOS-XE.
Solid knowledge of IP networking, ideally CCNA level or above.
Hands-on experience with firewalls, IPSec, and general network security.
Experience deploying and maintaining WiFi Access Points (preferably Meraki or Cisco WLC).
Familiarity with DevOps approaches and collaborative delivery environments.
Strong understanding of supporting technologies: DHCP, DNS, Web Servers.
Nice to Have:
Experience with F5 BIG-IP and load balancing.
Exposure to cloud-based network solutions.
