•    Deep knowledge of one specific infrastructure technology and scripting languages
•    Deep knowledge of cloud infrastructure and multiple cloud technologies with the ability to operate in and migrate across public and private clouds
•    Deep knowledge of one or more areas of infrastructure engineering such as: hardware, networking terminology, databases, storage engineering, deployment practices, integration, automation, scaling, resilience or performance assessments
•    Curiosity and systems thinking. You ask the right questions, hold the broader picture in view, and can explain how interconnected systems fit together.
•    Network fabric and connectivity — design and operational depth in routing, switching, wireless, and WAN across any of our preferred technologies listed below.
•    Security, edge and segmentation — experience securing the perimeter and enforcing Zero Trust segmentation using any of our preferred technologies listed below.
•    Engineering toolchain proficiency—ability to automate, version-control, and observe network/infrastructure services using modern engineering practices
•    Demonstrated experience using enterprise-authorized AI capabilities within the work environment to support infrastructure engineering workflows with strong validation habits and awareness of data sensitivity.
•    Ability to review and validate AI-assisted recommendations before implementation, escalating when uncertain and ensuring outcomes align to resiliency, security, and auditability expectations.
