  • Design and troubleshoot networking components including TCP/IP, DNS, TLS, HTTP, routing, VPN, firewalls, load balancing, ingress, and secure connectivity.
  • Build infrastructure automation using Infrastructure as Code and modern deployment practices.
  • Develop and improve CI/CD pipelines to enable safe and efficient software delivery.
  • Own platform observability, including monitoring, logging, tracing, alerting, and operational dashboards.
  • Improve platform reliability through performance optimization, capacity planning, disaster recovery, and resiliency improvements.
  • Collaborate with software engineering teams to improve service architecture, deployment workflows, and production readiness.
  • Lead technical initiatives, architecture reviews, and adoption of modern infrastructure technologies.

  • Technical standards and best practices for platform engineering.
  • Certifications such as CCNA, CCNP, AWS Solutions Architect, AWS Advanced Networking, CKA, CKAD, Security+, or CCSP.
  • Experience operating private cloud, hybrid cloud, or large-scale on-premise infrastructure.
  • Experience with enterprise server hardware platforms such as Dell, HPE, Supermicro, or similar.
  • Experience with bare-metal provisioning tools such as PXE, MAAS, Foreman, Cobbler, or similar technologies.
  • Experience with virtualization technologies such as VMware, KVM, or OpenStack.
