Responsibilities

Solution design and documentation: Collaborate with business stakeholders to gather and analyze requirements before anything gets built. Design and document detailed technical specifications and blueprints for IT systems and network solutions. Ensure designs adhere to industry best practices and applicable compliance standards. Maintain accurate, current documentation of architecture, configurations, and changes.
Network infrastructure: Design and optimize network infrastructure spanning LANs, WANs, and cloud-based solutions. Implement complex environments on Aruba, Fortinet, and Palo Alto platforms. Evaluate and recommend network hardware and software; conduct proof-of-concept testing and make adoption recommendations. Research emerging technologies and trends and bring forward the ones worth acting on.
Security: Implement robust security measures to protect customer data, systems, and networks. Establish and enforce network security policies, define access, and monitor for violations. Stay current on threats and vulnerabilities and implement safeguards before they become incidents.
Support: Provide remote support, troubleshooting, and fault isolation for customers and on-site engineers. Communicate technical information clearly to non-technical stakeholders, in writing and in the room.
