- You must be proficient in automation and scripting languages like Ansible, shell, or Python to guarantee test setups are reproducible.
- You should have a solid understanding of analyzing traffic with tools such as iperf or Wireshark and the ability to articulate complex networking behavior.
- Possessing relevant industry certifications such as JNCIP, CCNP, or CCIE is considered a strong plus, even if not mandatory for every project.
Responsibilities
- Design authentic network exercises that incorporate intricate service settings, redundant paths, segmentation, and access controls.
- Construct repeatable network topologies and configure a wide variety of networking environments.
- Create automated scripts to verify performance metrics including throughput, packet loss, latency, and route convergence.
- Generate comprehensive reference configurations and scenarios involving network failures to evaluate how well AI performs.
- Assess configurations created by AI to detect and troubleshoot errors, ensuring all materials are formatted correctly for other engineers to replicate your results.
- Utilize coding assistants to aid in your automation tasks while retaining personal control over the oversight of network operations.
Benefits & Perks
- Writers are paid between $70 and $80 per hour for their tasks, and reviewers are compensated at a rate of $90 per hour.
