Position Summary:
We are seeking a seasoned Senior Network Architect Architect with over 10 years of experience to join our dynamic System Solution team to provide strategic architectural leadership across a large, complex enterprise network environment. This role sits at the intersection of technology strategy and engineering execution — driving assessments, defining standards, shaping modernization roadmaps, and guiding critical network decisions across a broad and diverse technology landscape.
The ideal candidate brings deep architectural judgment, cross-domain networking expertise, and the ability to operate effectively at both the strategic and technical levels — engaging executive stakeholders, leading vendor evaluations, and guiding engineering teams through transformation initiatives.
Description / Essential Functions:
· Architecture Leadership — Define and maintain network architecture principles, design patterns, configuration standards, and implementation guidance across the enterprise
· Technology Assessment & Roadmap — Evaluate current-state network technologies, identify gaps and risks, and drive forward-looking modernization and technology roadmap decisions
· RFP & Vendor Engagement — Lead RFP development, critically evaluate supplier proposals, and deliver clear, well-supported recommendations to senior leadership
· Cisco ACI, Cisco SDA, traditional enterprise routing & switching
· Zscaler (SASE/ZIA/ZPA)
· Distributed Antenna System (DAS)
· Network Security & Secure Access
· Cross-Functional Collaboration — Partner with internal engineering, operations, and business teams as well as external suppliers and vendors to develop and execute network solutions
· Complex Problem Resolution — Provide architectural-level support for escalated operational issues, driving structured root cause analysis and durable remediation strategies
· Innovation & Automation — Champion the adoption of automation, AI-enabled tooling, and network analytics to improve operational efficiency and implementation quality
· Standards & Governance — Establish and enforce architectural guardrails, design standards, and governance frameworks across a distributed, multi-technology environment
Skills
· 10+ years of progressive enterprise network engineering and/or architecture experience
· Demonstrated breadth across multiple networking domains — LAN, WAN, wireless, security, and cloud-adjacent services
· Strong architectural judgment with the ability to translate business requirements into sound, scalable network designs
· Proven experience leading or significantly contributing to RFP processes and presenting technology recommendations to senior or executive leadership
· Effective communicator with the ability to engage both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders with clarity and credibility
· Experience collaborating with and managing relationships with external vendors and suppliers
