About the role

  • Architect and implement enterprise-scale cloud and HCI architectures, ensuring seamless connectivity between on-prem infrastructure (HyperFlex, VxRail) and Microsoft Azure via ExpressRoute, VPN Gateways, and Virtual WAN.
  • Serve as a strategic advisor to infrastructure, application, and security teams, aligning networking choices (latency, bandwidth, and topology) to business performance goals.
  • Define and maintain architectural blueprints for hybrid networking, including IP addressing schemes, routing protocols (BGP), and VNet/VPC peering standards.
  • Architect Active Directory and Azure AD for secure identity, while implementing Network Security Groups (NSGs), ASGs, and Azure Firewall to enforce micro-segmentation.
  • Lead migration efforts, transitioning legacy workloads to Azure, ensuring network integrity and minimal downtime during "lift and shift" or refactoring projects.
  • Evaluate and deploy HCI platforms, optimizing the underlying networking fabric (Cisco ACI or Dell SmartFabric) for maximum compute and storage throughput.
  • Implement disaster recovery strategies leveraging Azure Site Recovery and global load balancing (Traffic Manager, Front Door) to ensure high availability.
  • Collaborate with security teams to harden network entry points and enforce compliance (NIST, ISO 27001) through deep packet inspection and encrypted transit.
  • Lead cross-team design sessions and PoCs for emerging network technologies like Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and SASE.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of infrastructure, systems, or cloud architecture experience, including enterprise design leadership.
  • Advanced Networking Expertise: Deep understanding of TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, and VLAN/VXLAN configuration.
  • Experience with SD-WAN providers and content delivery networks (CDNs).
  • Cloud Networking: Expert-level knowledge of Azure Networking (VNet, Azure Firewall, Front Door, Application Gateway, and Private Link).
  • HCI & Fabric Management: Expertise with hyperconverged platforms including Cisco HyperFlex and Dell VxRail, including the management of integrated switching fabrics.
  • Directory Services & DNS: Deep understanding of Windows Server, Active Directory, and enterprise-grade DNS/DHCP/IPAM (DDI) solutions.
  • Security & Zero Trust: Proficient in Azure AD, Conditional Access, and implementing Zero-Trust principles at the network layer (micro-segmentation and SASE).
  • Virtualization & SDN: Strong background in VMware vSphere/ESXi and Software-Defined Networking concepts (NSX-T or Azure Virtual WAN).
  • Automation: Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Bicep, Terraform, or Ansible) to automate network provisioning and security policy deployment.
  • Certifications: AZ-305, AZ-500, Cisco CCNP/CCIE (Enterprise or Data Center), VMware VCP, or TOGAF (preferred).
  • Soft Skills: Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to influence senior leadership and stakeholders.
