Experience in a technical support role in a networking/security company or equivalent education is highly desirable. Strong familiarity with Windows, UNIX, or Linux operating systems is expected, as well as the ability to perform advanced troubleshooting on a range of Juniper SRX and Palo Alto products. Moreover, you should be capable of consulting technical documentation, bulletins, and release notes for known problems, analyzing packet trace information, and recommending corrective actions based on the analysis.
