About the role

  • We are seeking an experienced Technical Architect to join our Enterprise Architecture team, with a specialized focus on SD-WAN, next-generation networking, and cloud networking (especially Azure). This role will be pivotal in shaping the future of our enterprise network, ensuring alignment with business strategy, security, and digital transformation goals. Collaborate with business and IT stakeholders to define and evolve the enterprise network architecture strategy, ensuring alignment with overall business and digital transformation objectives. Develop and maintain current and target state network architecture diagrams, roadmaps, and reference models. Ensure all networking solutions (SD-WAN, cloud, on-premises) adhere to enterprise architecture principles, standards, and governance processes. Evaluate and recommend emerging networking technologies (e.g., SASE, Zero Trust, Network-as-a-Service, cloud-native networking) for enterprise adoption. Lead the design and implementation of SD-WAN solutions, integrating with existing WAN/LAN, data center, and cloud environments. Architect secure, scalable, and resilient network solutions leveraging Azure and other cloud platforms. Develop migration strategies from legacy networks to software-defined and cloud-based architectures. Design and implement cloud networking architectures (Azure VNETs, ExpressRoute, VPN Gateway, NSGs, Azure Firewall, etc.). Integrate on-premises and cloud networks, ensuring seamless connectivity, security, and performance. Support hybrid and multi-cloud networking initiatives, including automation and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). Establish and enforce network architecture standards, policies, and documentation. Ensure compliance with security, regulatory, and operational requirements. Collaborate with cybersecurity teams to ensure network security is embedded in all designs. Serve as a subject matter expert and trusted advisor to IT leadership, business stakeholders, and project teams. Mentor and guide network engineers and operations teams on new technologies, best practices, and EA frameworks.

Requirements

  • Proven expertise in SD-WAN technologies (e.g., Cisco, VMware, Fortinet, Silver Peak, Palo Alto). Strong hands-on experience with Azure networking (VNETs, ExpressRoute, Azure Firewall, VPN Gateway, NSGs, etc.). Deep understanding of enterprise architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, Zachman) and their application to networking. Experience with cloud networking concepts (hybrid/multi-cloud, cloud security, automation). Familiarity with automation and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for network provisioning (e.g., Terraform, ARM templates, Ansible). Excellent communication, documentation, and stakeholder management skills. These skills are typically acquired through the completion of a Bachelor's Degree within Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering or closely related field; combined with a minimum of 7+ years of experience in network architecture, design, and implementation within large enterprise environments.
