Daily activities will involve applying networking knowledge to SDN and Network Automation tools. This requires interaction with the Linux command line. SDN is a reality at AWS. Proficiency in Python, Perl, C, or Shell Scripting is a plus.Experience managing large projects to completion is a must, either as project manager or lead. NDEs are expected to self-manage several projects at a time, providing regular status updates and identifying and pushing through obstacles.
