Who are you?
BGP is probably even older than yourself, so therefore it won’t have secrets for you anymore. Configuring a router is not a problem for you, but getting the best out of routing hardware by tuning internet exchanges, ip-transits, direct fiber connected peers and using the newest functionality like Flowspec will make your work more than a a default router maintainer.
Everyone is talking about new techniques like Openflow/SDN, but you want to really work with it. You will configure, monitor and maintain the newest hardware and together with the programmers your will create new network security cloud products. You like to work with brands like Cisco and Huawei, you like to achieve some new certificates and have fun doing it with your three other colleagues.
Enjoy solving complex issues, whether they are related to hardware, network or security. Gloating that you have the power to control a range of systems, you set out to share your expertise where ever it is needed. Because let’s face it: the geeks in the company are nothing without you. You just want to innovate and get a rush from pushing hardware to its limits.
Your tasks include:
- Build and maintain our BGP network
- Be a part of the R&D, create new network layers for our own created IP security software
- Provide assistance to our clients (our clients are smart, they know what they are talking about)
- Installation and configuration of complex client routing and switching hardware
Your qualities:
- Teeming with energy and idealism. In a few years you want to be the ultimate pro!
- You want to configure and maintain our network and our DDoS protection engine and new WAF with your heart.
- You know your way around network administration ( brands like Huawei, Cisco, BGP, RIPE). Huawei would be a bit new for you, but knowing how to handle Cisco/Juniper/Brocade would be a base to learn fast.
- Security, privacy and monitoring are your expertise (we use own build apps and Zabbix).
- You don’t mind to work in an international environment with colleagues from other parts of the world. Although you have a strong own opinion, your respect for the thoughts of someone else is even bigger.
- Your company laptop and mobile are your holy tools.
