Type: Full-time role
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.
Qualifications:

12–18+ years in networking with 6+ years as an architect delivering global programs (>200 sites or equivalent scale).
Proven track record leading assessments, roadmaps, designs and migrations for SD‑WAN/SASE and campus/DC modernization. Experience in multi‑vendor, multi‑supplier environments; comfortable with Guardian/Service Integration models.
