  • Assist with network management activities including routing, switching, VPN connectivity, load balancing, and network availability monitoring.
  • Troubleshoot network, infrastructure, and security configuration issues to maintain operational stability and performance.
  • Support the design and implementation of security architectures, network segmentation, and Zero Trust frameworks.
  • Monitor network performance, identify risks, and recommend improvements to security and infrastructure operations.
  • Assist with security compliance efforts by implementing controls aligned to organizational requirements and industry standards.
  • Gather diagnostic information, perform root-cause analysis, and escalate complex technical issues when appropriate.
  • Document infrastructure configurations, troubleshooting procedures, security controls, and operational best practices.

  • Understanding of network security risks, vulnerabilities, and security best practices.
  • Ability to support the deployment, configuration, and maintenance of infrastructure and security solutions.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to document configurations, operational procedures, incidents, and technical recommendations.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills when working with technical and business stakeholders.
