Build network automation and validation tools using Python, APIs, Git workflows, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
Execute production changes with pre-change checks, post-change verification, and rollback procedures.
Improve monitoring, capacity planning, runbooks, and incident response; troubleshoot issues across protocols, devices, optics, and automation.
Participate in a periodic on-call rotation, responding to large-scale network incidents and driving them to resolution.
Contribute to design reviews, develop repeatable standards, and mentor other engineers.
