Computer Network Architect

Job Description

We are looking for a seasoned Computer Network Architect to design, prototype, and optimize a hybrid network infrastructure supporting over 20 global sites and a high-throughput SaaS platform with strict uptime SLAs. This role demands a strategic thinker who can translate business requirements into scalable, secure, and fault-tolerant network architectures while navigating multi-vendor environments and hybrid cloud constraints.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and Document complex enterprise network topologies across on-prem data centers, AWS, and Azure environments, focusing on redundancy, segmentation, and compliance.
• Design and implement Layer 3 routing strategies with BGP, OSPF, and custom route filtering between geographically dispersed locations.
• Lead network segmentation efforts to support zero trust security initiatives and align with NIST SP 800-207.
• Evaluate and select network hardware (e.g., Arista, Cisco Nexus, Palo Alto) and software-defined solutions with direct input into procurement and vendor negotiations.
• Plan and oversee IPv6 rollout across multiple regions, ensuring backward compatibility and minimal disruption.
• Collaborate with application architects to ensure network behavior under load supports container orchestration (Kubernetes), service meshes (Istio), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Develop automation pipelines (Ansible, Terraform) to deploy and validate network configurations in dev and staging environments before production rollout.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and resolve complex performance issues using tools like NetBox, Wireshark, and custom telemetry systems built on ELK stack or Grafana.
• Serve as final escalation point for networking issues impacting production and revenue-generating systems.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 7+ years of progressive experience in network design and architecture for enterprise or SaaS environments.
• Demonstrated expertise in multi-site BGP routing, VRF design, and DNS failover strategies.
• Deep knowledge of cloud networking constructs including Transit Gateway, VPC peering, ExpressRoute, and Direct Connect.
• Experience implementing network-level security, including microsegmentation, NAC (e.g., Cisco ISE), and firewall policies tied to IAM roles or tags.
• Fluency in network automation tools and GitOps workflows for infrastructure-as-code deployments.
• Strong understanding of network performance diagnostics and incident response in distributed systems.
• Familiarity with regulatory standards (e.g., PCI-DSS, SOC 2 Type II) as they pertain to network design and logging.

Preferred Qualifications:

• CCIE, AWS Advanced Networking, or equivalent certification.
• Prior experience migrating a hybrid network from MPLS to SD-WAN at scale.
• Knowledge of multicast protocols in financial or media use cases.
• Experience with network digital twin modeling or simulation platforms.
