Strong knowledge and practical experience with L2/L3 networking.
Hands-on experience with managed switches and routers, including setting up Linux or FreeBSD as a router.
Hands-on experience with firewalls and understanding of firewall best practices, including at least one of nftables, iptables, pf, ipfw, ip filter.
Solid understanding of firewall best practices (secure configuration, least privilege, safe exposure, etc.).
Requirements:
Manage a small in-datacenter private network consisting of 2 racks and work with the existing setup, including Cisco ASA firewall and two managed switches trunked via optics.
Set up VM-based configurations for testing purposes, including Linux-based environments and netem to simulate 'bad Internet' conditions; test various CDNs and maintain setups needed for consistent testing.
Plan for future networking expansion: end-to-end network setup as we scale, implement basic firewall-level DDoS protection, and perform production tcpdump analysis.
Develop and operate BGP-related infrastructure: obtain a BGP AS, peer routing analysis, and related routing/traffic engineering work as the networking footprint expands.
