    • Document network designs, diagrams, and recovery procedures.

    • Serve as escalation point for high-severity tickets and mentor junior network staff.

  • Collaboration:

    • Work closely with Project Managers, Cybersecurity teams, and clients to deliver best-in-class network solutions.

    • Coordinate with offshore NOC teams to ensure 24/7/365 support coverage.

    • 7+ years of experience in enterprise network engineering or NOC roles.

    • Deep expertise in network technologies (Cisco, Meraki, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Aruba).

    • Experience with firewalls, IDS/IPS, VPN (site-to-site and client), and wireless networking.

    • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure and hybrid cloud networking.

    • Strong knowledge of network protocols (BGP, OSPF, STP, NAT, VLAN, QoS).

    • Familiarity with network automation and scripting (Python, Ansible, or PowerShell is a plus).

    • Exposure to security frameworks such as NIST, ISO 27001, or CIS Controls.

  • Soft Skills:

    • Excellent communication, documentation, and client-facing skills.
