• Deliver automated, version-controlled playbooks with unit, integration, and compliance tests in CI.
  Impact: Enables repeatable, auditable, and rapid deployments while reducing manual errors.

Systems Resilience & Disaster Recovery

• Architect and automate backup, failover, and DR workflows for all network devices.

• Conduct recovery drills, validate RTO/RPO against SLA targets, and produce post-mortem runbooks.
  Impact: Guarantees service availability and protects against catastrophic loss.

Security & Compliance Orchestration

• Integrate vulnerability scanners (Nessus, Qualys), threat-intel feeds, and policy-as-code into CI/CD pipelines.

• Automate remediation playbooks and generate compliance dashboards for SOC/DevSecOps.
  Impact: Maintains HP's high-security standards across all infrastructure layers.

Network Configuration & Lifecycle Management

• Operate configuration managers to centralize topology, inventory, and device state.

• Enforce change-control gates, audit drift, and maintain traceability from design to production.
  Impact: Provides a single source of truth and ensures configuration integrity.

Cross-Functional Architecture Governance

• Collaborate with platform, edge, security, and product teams to embed network security into CI/CD and DevOps pipelines.

• Present architecture reviews and maintain traceability matrices.
  Impact: Aligns infrastructure decisions with business strategy and compliance requirements.

Capacity & Performance Modeling

• Model traffic and compute link utilization; forecast capacity needs using historical data and predictive analytics.

• Deliver capacity-planning reports to product, finance, and data-center stakeholders.
  Impact: Enables proactive scaling and prevents performance bottlenecks.

Continuous Process & Tool Improvement

• Evaluate emerging trends (intent-based networking, programmable data planes, network observability).

• Propose tool/process changes to reduce manual effort and improve security posture.
  Impact: Keeps HP's infrastructure world-class and future-proof.

Prototyping & Customer Validation

• Rapidly spin up proof-of-concept environments to test complex customer requests.

• Translate business requirements into secure, performant, and automatable designs.
  Impact: Aligns customer expectations with technical feasibility and security constraints.

Required Experience & Skills:

Networking:
