• Implement hub‑and‑spoke / Virtual WAN patterns, private connectivity, Azure Firewall routing, and secure external endpoints such as Azure Front Door.
• Troubleshoot complex cloud and hybrid network issues across Azure regions.
• Build monitoring, telemetry, dashboards, and automated compliance controls for network services.
• Support incident response, runbooks, change/release coordination, and operational readiness.
• Mentor engineers, influence roadmaps, and drive adoption of reusable, scalable network platform services.

• 8–10+ years of hands‑on network engineering and architecture experience.
• Deep expertise in Microsoft Azure networking (segmentation, routing, DNS, private access, network security).
• Strong proficiency with BGP, OSPF, DNS, DHCP, SD‑WAN, VPN/IPSec, IPv4/IPv6, and enterprise‑scale troubleshooting.
• Extensive experience with IaC and Dev Ops automation, including CI/CD workflows for infrastructure delivery.
• Prior participation in architecture review/governance forums and strong technical documentation skills (ADRs, architecture patterns, design docs).
• Ability to operate autonomously within globally distributed teams.
• Excellent analytical, diagnostic, and information‑security‑aligned delivery skills.
• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Engineering, or related discipline (or equivalent experience).
