Integrate network security into architecture, including secure web gateways, cloud firewalling, and identity-aware access controls.
Ensure compliance with security best practices and enterprise policies.
Collaborate closely with data security teams to maintain and protect network integrity.
Drive network automation and infrastructure-as-code using Python, Ansible, APIs.
Build and enhance monitoring, telemetry, and analytics platforms to track network performance, capacity, and utilization trends.
Implement self-healing and scalable operational processes.
Act as a technical authority and mentor within the network engineering team.
Provide hands-on support, proof-of-concept development, and design validation.
Collaborate cross-functionally with cloud, security, and application teams.
