  • Metro Ethernet circuits, NIDs, optics, and broadband provisioning
  • TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, HTTP, and broadband troubleshooting
  • WiFi and mesh networking troubleshooting
  • Windows/Linux troubleshooting and CLI navigation

Professional Skills

  • Strong communication and customer service skills
  • Ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical users via written documentation
  • Positive, collaborative, and solution-oriented mindset
  • Self-motivated learner with a passion for network engineering and technology advancement

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with Cisco, Juniper, and/or Ciena service provider environments
  • Experience with Ciena MCP, Navigator, or MCMS
  • Service provider certifications such as:

    • Ciena CE/CRS certifications
    • Nokia NRS
    • MEF certifications
  • Scripting or programming experience
  • Familiarity with CDN technologies and service provider security practices
