• Review existing configurations and scripts for compatibility with the target F5 platform and TMOS software version.
• Configure logging, SNMP traps, monitoring, remote authentication, and other administration features as required.
• Validate migrated application functionality, troubleshoot configuration issues, and support production cutover during scheduled maintenance windows.
• Perform failover and fault testing and assist with activating the migrated F5 solution in production.
• Provide post-migration support, knowledge transfer, operational guidance, and troubleshooting documentation.
• Collaborate with customer network, infrastructure, application, and security teams to ensure a smooth migration.

Required Technical Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with F5 BIG-IP technologies and appliance configuration.
• Experience with load balancing, application delivery, and application traffic management.
• Knowledge of LTM concepts, Virtual Servers, pools, nodes, health monitors, and traffic management profiles.
• Experience configuring VLANs, Self IPs, trunks, routing, NAT, and SNAT.
• Experience with SSL/TLS certificates, keys, and client-side/server-side SSL profiles.

• Experience troubleshooting network connectivity, application availability, and load-balancing issues.
• Familiarity with TMOS software versions, F5 licensing, system administration, logging, and monitoring.
• Ability to review existing configurations and develop migration plans with minimal disruption to business services.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience migrating configurations from legacy F5 platforms or competing load-balancing solutions to F5 BIG-IP.
• Experience with F5 Virtual Edition, virtualized deployments, vCMP, or F5OS tenants, where applicable.
• Familiarity with LDAP, Active Directory, RADIUS, or TACACS+ authentication integrations.
• Experience supporting enterprise production environments and scheduled after-hours maintenance windows.
