- Strong senior-level Network Engineering experience
- Excellent routing and switching fundamentals
- Load balancing experience, ideally F5
- Strong understanding of DNS
- CDN experience, ideally Akamai / Prolexic

- Experience with Arista CloudVision
- Network automation using Python, Ansible or similar
