- Experience implementing, maintaining and troubleshooting MPLS, BGP, OSPF, IGMP, TCP, HTTPS, DNS, PIM related internal and external network routing issues in a production environment.
We'd love to see
- Experience managing and automating network devices at scale (examples cited: Juniper, Nokia, Arista, Cisco, Palo Alto, F5, Whitebox, Broadcom).
- An understanding of various network and security architectures across Internet, Public Cloud, Private Networks, DWDM and Optical Networking, Data Centre builds and design fundamentals.
- Experience with network modelling.
- Experience with telemetry and observability tools (Splunk, Grafana, Humio).
- Experience with continuous integration and deployment tools.
- Knowledge of messaging queues such as Kafka, RabbitMQ.
- Eagerness to learn new technologies and mentor others.
