Demonstrated ability to write and maintain automation (e.g., Python) to eliminate manual work, build tooling, and manage configuration as code.
Solid command of the communication stack (UDP, TCP/IP) and routing protocols (BGP, OSPF), including working knowledge of multicast (e.g., PIM, IGMP), with strong networking fundamentals across Linux and/or Windows environments.
Hands-on experience with firewalls and other security platforms (e.g., Palo Alto), including their configuration, operation, and troubleshooting.
Experience with network observability at scale, including metrics and monitoring platforms and diagnostic and tracing tools, with a focus on making network health measurable and actionable.
