You'll need

* 5+ years as a network engineer in enterprise or service provider environments

* Strong routing and switching (BGP, OSPF, VLANs, QoS) on Cisco, Juniper or Arista

* Firewall experience (Palo Alto, Fortinet or similar)

* A track record of delivering network migrations end to end

* Comfortable working remotely and owning a workstream
