• Experience identifying security or infrastructure issues and developing a scalable approach to auditing and addressing similar risks across multiple environments

• Experience working in an MSP, multi-client, or similarly complex IT environment

• Advanced experience with Cisco Meraki and Ubiquiti, including firewalls, switches, and wireless access points

• Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills

• Ability to think beyond a single issue or client environment and identify potential risks or opportunities for improvement across the organization

• Ability to communicate technical recommendations, cybersecurity risks, and operational tradeoffs to senior leadership and non-technical stakeholders

• Comfortable taking initiative, evaluating new technologies, and developing practical recommendations before implementation

• Resourceful, self-driven, and comfortable handling complex technical challenges
