  • Strong background in software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV).
  • Experience with OpenStack Neutron networking services and plugins, as well as integrations with major SDN controllers.

  • Knowledge of cloud-native networking for Kubernetes (e.g., Calico, Cilium, Flannel).
  • Hands-on experience with network troubleshooting tools and methodologies in multi-vendor environments.
  • Preferred Qualifications
