Job Description
Lead solutioning and delivery architecture for large?scale network modernization programs across WAN/LAN/WLAN and cloud networking. Own end?to?end designs for SD?WAN to SASE/Zero?Trust transitions, Network?as?a?Service (NaaS) models, multi?cloud connectivity patterns, and observability/automation, aligning to business outcomes, security, and experience (SLA/XLA).
Roles And Responsibilities
Own discovery, assessment and target?state reference architectures for enterprise networks (WAN/LAN/WLAN, DC/Cloud, OT/edge). Design and document HLD/LLD for SD?WAN platforms and SASE/Zero?Trust controls (SWG, CASB, ZTNA, FWaaS). Define multi?cloud networking patterns (AWS TGW/Transit, Azure vWAN/Route Server, GCP NCC) and hybrid connectivity (ExpressRoute/Direct Connect/Interconnect). Shape LAN/WLAN modernization (intent?based/SD?Access, Wi?Fi 6/6E/7) and campus segmentation with identity?aware policies. Lead PoCs and solution validation; create BOMs/BOQs, migration runbooks, fallback plans, test/UAT approaches and acceptance criteria. Partner with OEMs and Telcos; evaluate NaaS constructs and commercials; contribute to make?vs?buy decisions. Embed observability and AIOps; specify telemetry, synthetics, and experience metrics (e.g., XLA) and define SLOs/SLIs. Industrialize network automation (Ansible/Terraform, pipelines, IaC/GitOps), golden configs and compliance guardrails. Contribute to pursuits (RFI/RFP/Orals), solution narratives, effort/cost models and risk registers; ensure solution governance and sign?offs. Provide architecture oversight into delivery; guide transition, cutovers, hypercare and handover; coach architects/engineers. Author reusable patterns/accelerators and knowledge assets for the practice; evangelize TCS frameworks and best practices.

Hands?on design of SASE components (SWG, CASB/DLP, ZTNA, FWaaS) with vendors such as Zscaler, Netskope, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco, or Cloudflare. Cloud networking across AWS/Azure/GCP (Transit/Hub?and?Spoke, vWAN, Route Server, TGW, NCC), DNS/DHCP/IPAM (e.g., Infoblox) and identity?aware segmentation. Campus & DC networking (EVPN/VXLAN, SDA/ACI or equivalent), Wireless (Wi?Fi 6/6E/7), NAC/802.1X. Automation and IaC (Ansible, Terraform, Git, CI/CD) and scripting (Python/Bash) to codify design, config and operational workflows. Observability & Digital Experience Monitoring (e.g., ThousandEyes, AppNeta, Datadog, Dynatrace) and NPM/NPMD stacks; capacity and performance engineering. Security fundamentals: Zero?Trust architectures, micro/macro?segmentation, certificate/PKI, encryption, BCP/DR for networks. Understanding of OT/Industrial networks and Private 5G/LTE (nice?to?have) for shop?floor and edge scenarios.
