  • Ensure consistent network performance through route validation, traffic shaping, and congestion management.
  • Maintain and enhance monitoring and logging systems to ensure full visibility of network components.
  • Collaborate with external partners (e.g., peering/transit providers) to troubleshoot routing issues and optimize bandwidth usage.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation to support critical incidents outside business hours.
  • Support and mentor NOC team members on complex troubleshooting scenarios.
  • Document incidents, changes, and operational procedures in line with governance standards.
