• Support the integration of network and security services: You’ll collaborate with security and platform teams to integrate advanced technologies such as firewalls, ZTNA, and network monitoring into enterprise infrastructure. 
• Contribute to network modernization and cloud adoption: You’ll support the migration from legacy infrastructure toward software-defined networking and cloud-native solutions, aligned with our cloud-first strategy.
• Collaborate across teams in Agile environments: You’ll engage with product and platform teams to understand requirements and deliver network services as part of Agile delivery cycles.
