Must-Haves (Non-Negotiable)

Strong understanding of

  • TCP/IP, subnetting, VLANs, QoS
  • Routing protocols (OSPF, BGP)
  • Experience with RF planning and wireless link design (PTP/PTMP)
  • Advanced troubleshooting skills (packet capture, spectrum analysis)

Nice to Have

  • Aruba certifications (ACMA, ACMP, ACDP)
  • Experience with multi-site or large-scale deployments

Role Structure

  • Combination of project-based implementation + L3 escalations
  • Some client-facing interaction during deployments and issue resolution
  • Includes on-call responsibility for network incidents

What Success Looks Like

  • Reliable, high-performance Aruba wireless deployments
  • Fast and effective resolution of complex network issues
  • Stable ISP infrastructure with strong uptime
  • Ability to operate independently and own technical outcomes

Interview Process

  • Step 1: Pavago Screening (experience, communication, role alignment)
  • Step 2: Technical Interview (deep dive into Aruba, networking fundamentals, and real scenarios)
  • Step 3: Client Interview (technical + team fit)

Step 4: Final Discussion / Offer
