• Strong knowledge of networking concepts and protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VPNs, DNS, load balancing).
• Hands-on experience with cloud networking in at least one major cloud provider (e.g., Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform), including VPC/VNet design, peering, and hybrid connectivity (VPN, ExpressRoute/Direct Connect).
• Proven experience designing and implementing secure network architectures, including segmentation, zero trust principles, firewalls, and web application/network security controls.
• Familiarity with network security tools and practices (e.g., IDS/IPS, NGFW, security groups/NSGs, WAF, micro segmentation).
• Experience developing and maintaining network documentation, standards, and operational runbooks.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and experience supporting complex, distributed network environments.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work with security, infrastructure, and application teams.
