    • Configure and validate routing (BGP), MTU/MSS settings, latency/throughput baselines, and failover behavior.
    • Tune connectivity performance for critical flows (batch, file transfer, API, messaging, data replication), including bandwidth planning and QoS considerations where applicable.
  • Performance tuning & reliability
    • Identify and remediate bottlenecks across network, compute, storage, and platform services (e.g., VM sizing, disk throughput/IOPS, load balancing behavior, TCP tuning, connection pooling implications).

  • Demonstrated ability to set up, troubleshoot, and performance-tune hybrid connectivity (latency, throughput, packet loss, MTU/MSS, routing, failover).
  • Infrastructure as Code experience (Terraform and/or Bicep/ARM) and Git-based workflows.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and ability to work across teams (network, security, app, data).

Preferred / Nice to Have
