Ideal Candidate Profile

• 8+ years of professional experience in network engineering
• At least 3-4 years of recent experience in cloud networking, with a focus on Microsoft Azure
• Background in enterprise networking (Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto), ideally with certifications like CCIE
• Comfortable presenting network designs to senior technical and business stakeholders
