Network and system expertise

• Configure and validate routing topologies using BGP, OSPF, and policy-based routing for seamless network integration.

• Diagnose and troubleshoot network or platform issues identified through monitoring and testing.

• Develop and execute performance, scalability, and regression tests for end-to-end validation.

Automation and infrastructure

• Design, develop, and automate solution tests to replicate real-world SD-WAN scenarios using Python, Robot, Ansible, and Terraform.

• Build and maintain scalable test environments using AWS, OpenStack, KVM, and similar platforms.

• Automate traffic generation (Spirent, Cyberflood, iPerf, or similar tools) to validate throughput, resiliency, and failover across complex topologies.

• Contribute to continuous integration infrastructure (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and implement test monitoring and reporting standards.

Collaboration and quality

• Mentor junior engineers and help define best practices for automation and test quality.

• Participate in design and code reviews to ensure testability and reliability are built in from the start.

• Partner with development and support teams to reproduce and resolve customer-reported issues.

• Identify and drive continuous improvement in testing processes, tools, and efficiency.
