Familiarity with IP/MPLS protocols (OSPF, BGP, Segment Routing) and network virtualization (SDN/NFV).

Experience with monitoring and telemetry tools (NetFlow, SNMP, syslog) and packet-level analysis (Wireshark, TCPdump).

It's if you have:

Master's degree in a technical field or equivalent leadership experience.

Hands-on experience with managing incidents across hybrid networks (fiber + wireless).

Familiarity with network automation and observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Ansible, custom alerting systems).
