- Automate infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Helm, etc.).
- Integrate networking into CI/CD workflows and cloud-native deployments (Kubernetes networking, ingress controllers, service mesh).
- Troubleshoot Linux-based networking issues (TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, iptables) across layers 3–7.
- Partner with cross-functional teams to improve performance, availability, and security.
- Contribute to network observability and monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
- Document designs, processes, and runbooks; participate in on-call rotation.

- Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Ansible, Pulumi, Helm).
- Experience with Kubernetes networking (CNI, ingress, service mesh).
- Excellent troubleshooting skills in Linux networking.
- Strong communicator and collaborator who thrives in cross-functional teams.
Nice to Have
- Traditional data center networking knowledge (routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers – Cisco, Arista, Juniper, F5).
- Familiarity with routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, VXLAN, GRE).
- Experience with security best practices (network segmentation, zero-trust).
