* Perform hybrid cloud network implementations, either in AWS VPCs or Azure VNETs via either VPN or dedicated circuits (ExpressRoute or Direct Connect)
* Network services, such as load balancers, RADIUS, TACACS, DNS, DHCP and network monitoring tools
* Perform assessments of existing client network infrastructures and document "as-is" environments
* Organize project work into client presentations, outlining findings and recommendations for C-level executives

Our ideal candidate will possess the following qualifications:
* 3-7 years of experience designing and implementing networking solutions
* 1+ total years of consulting experience is preferred
* Must have an associate-level certification in a well-known vendor (CCNA, JNCIA, NRS I) with network management knowledge
