Job description

NETWORK ENGINEERS: Ready to architect what’s next?

If you’re a Principal, Lead, or Senior Network Engineer who has outgrown simply keeping the network running, this is an opportunity to influence how a global enterprise network is designed, modernized, and scaled.

We’re looking for a Network Architect to serve as a senior technical authority across a large-scale, globally distributed environment.

What makes this role compelling:

  • Own enterprise network architecture, engineering, performance, and reliability

  • Lead major initiatives around SD-WAN, cloud networking, hybrid infrastructure, and automation

  • Work across AWS, Azure, GCP and/or OCI

  • Architect enterprise-scale BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, LAN/WAN, data center and firewall environments

  • Drive network automation using Python, Ansible and orchestration technologies

  • Influence technology strategy alongside senior IT, cloud, security, and infrastructure leaders

  • Mentor engineers and establish architecture standards and best practices

  • Serve as the senior escalation point for complex, high-impact network issues

This is a role for someone who wants to design the future of the network-not just troubleshoot the present.

Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in network engineering, network operations, or a related discipline
  • Strong enterprise-scale routing and switching expertise
  • Deep understanding of BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP
  • Experience designing and supporting large-scale LAN/WAN and firewall environments
  • Hands-on experience with cloud and hybrid networking
  • Experience with SD-WAN, cloud edge networking, or network modernization initiatives
  • Strong understanding of data center networking and infrastructure
  • Experience with network automation using Python, Ansible, or similar technologies
  • Ability to troubleshoot complex network performance and connectivity issues
  • Strong architecture, analytical, documentation, and communication skills
  • Bachelor’s degree in IT or equivalent experience

CCIE or equivalent certification is preferred.
