• In-depth understanding of networking protocols and troubleshooting at all OSI/TCP/IP layers. Expertise in diagnosing and resolving issues related to DNS/DHCP, routing, VLANs, firewalls, and SSL/TLS
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team environment (with App/Network/SecOps teams) to document architectures, create runbooks, and contribute to post-mortems and root cause analysis for incidents

Education and Experience:

• 10+ years in Linux systems engineering/administration in production environments
• Experience designing, building, and supporting mission‑critical infrastructure across Azure and on‑prem environments
• Experience writing C and Python for systems tooling, performance, or networking use cases
• Hands‑on experience designing, deploying, and tuning F5 BIG‑IP and HAProxy
• Strong networking fundamentals and troubleshooting (TCP/IP, routing, DNS, SSL/TLS)
• Practical experience building and supporting Azure infrastructure (compute, networking, storage)
• Bachelor’s Degreein Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field
• Equivalent experiencein Linux systems engineering, cloud infrastructure, and networking may be considered in place of formal education
