Networking & Traffic Management: Solid understanding of core networking concepts, L4/L7 traffic management, reverse proxies (e.g., Envoy, NGINX, HAProxy), TLS decryption/inspection, and networking diagnostics (e.g., tcpdump, wireshark, curl, dig). On the runtime side, you will deploy and operate inline inspection of AI traffic - prompts, responses, retrieval context, tool/MCP calls, and agent-to-agent exchanges - managing policies that determine what gets blocked, redacted, rewritten, or logged.
