  • SR-MPLS or Traffic Engineering (desirable)

  • Internet edge operations using BGP (transit, peering, routing policies)

Route Reflectors

• Experience working with BGP Route Reflectors, physical or virtual (IOS-XR, Junos or similar platforms).

Key skills and expected impact

• Fluency in Spanish and English.

• Technical leadership, with the ability to influence architectural design and strategic decisions.

• Clear and effective communication, explaining complex concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Structured troubleshooting mindset, focused on root cause analysis and continuous improvement.

• Operational rigor, with strong discipline around procedures, documentation, and change control.

• Collaborative approach, working effectively with Infrastructure, Security, Development, and Operations teams.

• Continuous improvement mindset, staying up to date with evolving networking and security technologies.
