* F5 technologies: BigIP, GSLB, XC, VIP/FIP configuration

* Experience with network performance optimization, QoS, redundancy, and failover configurations
* Proficiency in network automation using Python, PowerShell, Bash, Terraform, or Ansible
* Familiar with SolarWinds, Wireshark, and/or other diagnostic and monitoring tools
* Strong communication and documentation skills
* Tenure that reflects commitment and long-term project ownership
* Comfortable working in fast-paced environments with evolving technology stacks
* Solution-oriented with the ability to lead initiatives and drive measurable outcomes

Travel:

Preferred Qualifications:
* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
