Job Details
Job Title: Cisco SME
Location: Herdon, VA
Hope you re well. We have a unique role for a customer that I wanted to run by you. It started off as a standard Cisco SME (CCNP/CCIE) to work on a 9-month project and then came the curveball around some significant issues in the customer environment caused by their SolarWinds policies and the massive amounts of notifications coming from that. So, the ask is, can we find someone who can come in and clean up those policies initially (2-3 weeks) within SolarWinds and then move on to the Cisco project. The second option would be to split these up into two but that would make the SolarWinds resource need limited to around 3 weeks.
