  • Compliance & Hardening: Collaborate with security teams to harden network entry points and enforce compliance (NIST, ISO 27001) through deep packet inspection and encrypted transit.
  • Leadership & Mentorship: Lead cross-team design sessions and PoCs for emerging network technologies like Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and SASE.
  • 10+ years of infrastructure, systems, or cloud architecture experience, including enterprise design leadership.
  • Advanced Networking Expertise: Deep understanding of TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, and VLAN/VXLAN configuration. Experience with SD-WAN providers and content delivery networks (CDNs).
  • Cloud Networking: Expert-level knowledge of Azure Networking (VNet, Azure Firewall, Front Door, Application Gateway, and Private Link).
