Must-Have Skills

  • Networking: Deep expertise in Cisco NX-OS, VXLAN BGP-EVPN, vPC, and Cisco NDFC.
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
  • Automation: Python (REST APIs, data modeling), YAML, JSON, and Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform (AAP).
  • CI/CD & Testing: GitHub/GitLab workflows, pyATS, and Genie for pre- and post-change validation.
  • Governance: Experience working in strictly regulated environments requiring detailed LLD documentation (FCA / PRA standards).
