- Partner cross-functionally with project and operations teams to deliver against an aggressive, ongoing project pipeline

- Experience troubleshooting complex network topologies in high-stakes environments
- Vendor experience with Aruba, Cisco, Arista, or similar enterprise networking platforms
- Comfort working in both a design/project capacity and day-to-day operations/troubleshooting
