  • Enhance monitoring and alerting (Grafana, Splunk, ServiceNow) and apply AI tools for proactive troubleshooting.
  • Maintain infrastructure hygiene through code upgrades, EOL hardware replacement, and regular network audits.
  • Mentor junior engineers, ensure accurate documentation, and coordinate hand‑overs across global regions.

  • Practical experience with Palo Alto firewalls and F5 load balancers.
  • Proficiency in scripting/automation (Python, Ansible) applied to network problems.

  • Experience mentoring junior staff and producing clear technical documentation.
