Job Description: F5 / Load Balancing Architect

• Own and evolve the long-term F5 and load-balancing strategy.
• Support both:

• Guide modernization efforts (reducing reliance on complex iRules where possible).

Technical Requirements

• Ability to operate at an enterprise scale.
• Hands-on engineering experience is expected historically, but:
  • Day-to-day work is not primarily hands-on.
  • May step in during complex production issues.
• F5: experience with GTM/LTM, load balancing rules, architectural knowledge; strategic planning skills.
• Enterprise-level architecture experience desired.
• Ability to provide guidance and evaluate improvements across large-scale, complex environments.
• Strategic, governance-oriented perspective, not purely operational.

F5 role: strategic oversight; not hands-on except for critical incidents; long-term roadmap and modernization planning.
