Support the design and implementation of modern network architectures, including traditional three tier campus designs and spine leaf or fabric based architectures using technologies such as Cisco ACI or VXLAN EVPN. Configure and support Palo Alto security platforms, including next generation firewalls, Panorama, security policy implementation, NAT, VPNs, and threat prevention features. Apply strong working knowledge of core network protocols and services, including BGP, OSPF, IS IS, VXLAN, VLANs, HSRP/VRRP, routing policy, multicast, and related enterprise services. Undertake hands on build, proof of concept, lab validation, and technical testing activity to de risk delivery and validate designs before deployment into production. Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues encountered during project delivery, implementation, migration, or testing phases. Work closely with architects, project managers, security teams, and customer stakeholders to ensure solutions are aligned to agreed design principles, standards, and governance requirements. Support change execution through the preparation, rehearsal, and implementation of changes within controlled project and operational environments. Produce and maintain accurate technical documentation, including configuration baselines, as built records, network diagrams, test results, and support handover material. Contribute to technical workshops, design reviews, and customer discussions, with the confidence to explain technical decisions clearly and credibly. Understand how network infrastructure integrates with wider platform components, including compute and storage environments built on VMware, Nutanix, and Hyper V.
