• Coding IP tables and software defined networking
• Lead and defend technical decisions providing design justification, coordination, and identifying value and requirements for other teams in the organization.
• Learn and continue to foster an understanding of the long-term needs of our infrastructure.
• Communicate to gather requirements and evangelize the Cloud offerings, and to understand gaps and improvements.
• Produce professional documentation and diagrams to clearly and concisely communicate concepts and architectures to infrastructure colleagues, in addition to our users.
• Manage and assist in the resolution of complicated technical problems and incidents, provide appropriate communication and escalation.
