Summary
Senior Network Architect
Spring, TX (North Houston) | Long-term / On-going | ~50% Remote
Important: You must live in the Houston area to be considered.
This is a true senior-level network role; not someone babysitting configs, but someone shaping how the network works today and where it’s going next.
You’ll be the person who looks at a complex LAN/WAN environment and says, “Here’s what’s working, here’s what’s not, and here’s how we fix it without breaking production.” You’ll partner with leadership, engineers, and vendors to design and evolve a modern Cisco-based network that supports real business demands, not just technical checklists.
There’s strategy here, but it’s not ivory-tower architecture. You’ll still be hands-on when it matters, guiding implementations, troubleshooting tough issues, and making sure upgrades are done right. You’ll also be the voice of reason when new tools or shiny hardware are proposed; validating risk, ROI, and long-term value before anything gets bought.
You should be comfortable owning decisions, documenting your thinking, and explaining complex network topics to people who don’t live in CLI all day.
Must-haves (non-negotiable)
8+ years of network engineering experience in enterprise environments
Hands-on experience with Cisco VXLAN
Hands-on experience with Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (DCNM / NDFC)
At least 2 years in a true network architecture / design role
Strong Cisco expertise across data center and branch routing & switching
CCNP required
Willingness to support after hours or weekends when major work demands it
Nice to have
CCDP
Experience leading network initiatives end-to-end (not just contributing)
This is a great fit for someone who enjoys being the go-to expert, likes influencing direction without micromanaging people, and wants a long-term role where their designs actually get implemented, not stuck in slide decks.
If you’re a senior network pro who wants meaningful ownership and flexibility, this one’s worth a look.
