Network Operations Engineer — Monitoring and SD-WAN

Project Context

This position carries the monitoring capability of the Global Capability Centre. Its holder is the person who sees an incident before a user reports it, and who turns raw events into actionable tickets. The second technology is Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, so that monitoring is performed by someone who understands what the alerts describe rather than by someone forwarding them.
