• Set engineering standards, change management, and incident response practices
• Champion automation with Python and API-driven tooling
• Act as the senior escalation point for complex issues
• Own vendor relationships, budgeting, and capacity planning
• Partner with security, cloud, and platform teams on integrated solutions

• 10+ years in mission-critical, low-latency network environments; 3+ years leading teams
• Deep command of L2/L3 protocols: BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VXLAN, PIM-SM multicast, traffic engineering
• Strong grasp of switch behavior, buffering, and deterministic performance at scale
• Solid network security fundamentals: segmentation, access control, secure design
• Proven ability to execute under pressure in a fast-moving environment
• Strong communicator who can translate technical trade-offs to leadership
