  • Develop detailed patching plans including pre-checks, impact analysis, and rollback strategies.
  • Apply and verify firmware/OS upgrades on multi-vendor devices (Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, F5, etc.).
  • Review and apply vendor-specific manuals and guidelines for patching best practices.
  • Act as the primary communicator for patching-related activities—providing clear updates to leadership, IT operations, and business stakeholders.
  • Collaborate with vendors (e.g., Cisco TAC) for troubleshooting, patch validation, and escalations.

  • Proficiency in performing firmware/OS patching in high-availability and mission-critical environments.
  • Demonstrated experience working directly with Cisco TAC or equivalent vendor escalation.
  • Strong troubleshooting skills using tools like Wireshark, CLI debugs, and syslog/SNMP monitoring.
  • Solid understanding of change management, ITIL patching processes, and incident handling.
  • Excellent scripting/shell knowledge (Python, Ansible, Bash) for patch automation (preferred but not mandatory).

Preferred Skills:

  • CCNP / CCIE certification or equivalent.
  • Experience in network security patching aligned with vulnerability management programs.
  • Familiarity with automation tools for patch management.
  • Prior experience in leading a network operations or patching team.
