- Strong understanding of virtual networking concepts such as vSwitches, Distributed Switches, VLANs, NIC teaming, and network segmentation.

- Proficiency in automation and scripting using PowerShell, PowerCLI, Python, Bash, or similar tools.
- Experience with core Microsoft infrastructure services such as Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and Group Policy.
- Strong troubleshooting, performance optimization, and analytical skills in complex infrastructure environments.
- Good communication skills with at least B1+ English proficiency.
- Ability to work effectively in distributed, cross-functional technical teams.
