• Configure and manage DNS (both internal enterprise and public/external DNS)
• Implement and maintain cloud-based load balancing solutions (e.g., Azure Front Door)
• Collaborate with DevOps and infrastructure teams to integrate networking into automated environments
• Develop and utilize automation scripts (e.g., Python, APIs) to manage infrastructure
• Support and optimize secure, scalable, and highly available network architectures

Requirements:

• Deep understanding of: Routing & switching
• Deep understanding of: Firewalls and network security
• Deep understanding of: DNS (internal and public)
• Deep understanding of: Load balancing concepts
• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure networking
• Ability to work with APIs and automation rather than manual ('click ops') configuration
• Scripting experience (e.g., Python)
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or Bicep (preferred, not required)
• Experience with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), particularly via automation (not manual configuration)
• Familiarity with DevOps practices and cloud integration workflows
• Multi-cloud exposure (e.g., AWS), though Azure experience is strongly preferred
