Monitor network health and respond to alerts, events, and incidents diagnosing and resolving issues to restore service quickly.
Troubleshoot connectivity, performance, and wireless issues across the leaf/spine (Clos) fabric.
Support core network services DNS, DHCP, and similar running on open-source platforms.

Hands-on experience with Mist wireless (or comparable enterprise Wi-Fi) and Palo Alto Networks firewalls with GlobalProtect VPN.
Strong fundamentals: L2/L3 routing and switching, VLANs, BGP/OSPF, and structured troubleshooting methodology.
Experience using network monitoring/observability platforms (e.g., LibreNMS, Zabbix, SolarWinds, PRTG, Grafana, or the Mist dashboard) to detect and resolve issues.
