- Serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for core network domains including routing, switching, firewalls (Palo Alto, Checkpoint), and load balancing.
- Integrate automation workflows with enterprise DevOps toolchains such as GitHub and Terraform.
- Define and implement network SLOs, SLIs, and error budgets in collaboration with SRE and platform teams.
- Mentor and upskill the broader network engineering team in coding standards and automation best practices.
