✅ Networking experience – ideally Juniper and Extreme
âś… Deep knowledge of backup/restore, DR/BC strategy, and security best practices
âś… Ability to translate business needs into long-term architecture plans
âś… Excellent communication skills - able to work directly with non-technical stakeholders, clinicians, and even patients
âś… Self-sufficient - you're the go-to architect, so being confident and delivery-focused is key
