Enterprise Network and WLAN Evaluation Specialist

Work you will do

• Create or assess network-design and troubleshooting cases, tracing the problem from the observed symptoms to the responsible layer.
• Review routing, switching, firewall or WLAN behavior in the relevant track, using protocol and packet-level evidence where needed.
• Explain a defensible diagnosis or configuration change and identify advice that would destabilize a production network.

Required background and routes

• General network route: at least two years in professional network engineering/administration, production routing/switching/firewalls, and depth in BGP, OSPF, VLAN or VPN behavior.
• Enterprise escalation route: currently perform Tier/Level 3 or principal-support work with on-call incidents, root-cause analysis and final escalations. Hands-on enterprise networks and WLAN controllers such as Meraki, Aruba or Cisco WLC, 802.1X/RADIUS and packet diagnosis with SPAN, tcpdump or Wireshark are required.
• The escalation route requires US or Canadian work eligibility and Pacific-time collaboration. Cloud-only SRE, architecture-only, SOC-only or helpdesk work does not substitute for current enterprise maintenance responsibility.

Preferred background

• CCNA, JNCIA or CCNP; Ansible/Python network automation and networking on Azure, AWS or GCP for the general route.
