Experience with one or more major cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
Knowledge of modern networking technologies including SD-WAN, SASE, cloud networking, network automation, infrastructure as code, software-defined networking, and network observability.
Experience evaluating emerging technologies and developing proof-of-concepts or pilot implementations.
Experience leading network modernization, cloud transformation, infrastructure transformation, and architecture governance initiatives.
Experience with enterprise architecture frameworks, infrastructure dependencies, technology standards, and policy requirements.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Master’s degree or technology-focused MBA preferred.
Ability to work with technical and business leaders and influence architecture and technology decisions.
