We're looking for an accomplished Network Architect and Manager to lead the design and optimization of our global network infrastructure. You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring reliable, high-performance connectivity for all our services and offices, while also guiding a team of network engineers. Reporting to VP Global Infrastructure & Operations, you'll drive networking strategy and make sure our infrastructure meets the needs of a fast-growing, global organization.

Job Responsibility:

Oversee the architecture, reliability, and security of our enterprise networks (cloud and on-premises), from initial design through deployment
Design and implement scalable network solutions, including LAN/WAN topologies and cloud VPCs, to ensure high availability and optimal performance
Collaborate with security teams to apply robust network security measures (firewalls, VPNs, intrusion detection) protecting critical assets and data
Mentor and guide a team of network engineers, establishing best practices and fostering professional growth
Proactively monitor network performance and lead troubleshooting efforts to resolve issues quickly, minimizing downtime
Evaluate and integrate new networking technologies and tools to continuously improve network efficiency and capabilities

Requirements:

8+ years of experience in network engineering and architecture roles, including leadership or managerial responsibilities
Expert knowledge of networking fundamentals and protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, BGP, OSPF, etc.) with hands-on experience designing large-scale enterprise networks
Proven experience with cloud networking (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including virtual networks, VPC peering, security groups, and hybrid connectivity
Strong understanding of network security best practices and technologies (firewalls, VPNs, ACLs, IDS/IPS)
Proficiency with network monitoring and troubleshooting tools (such as Wireshark, SNMP systems, or flow analysis) and the ability to perform deep network analysis
Experience with network automation and Infrastructure as Code (e.g. using Python scripts or Terraform/CloudFormation for network provisioning)
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across teams and explain network concepts to non-specialists
Design, implement, and manage robust edge-security solutions—including firewalls, VPNs, and network flow controls—to protect our perimeter and distributed systems

Nice to have:

Juniper Networks Certification (e.g., JNCIASEC, JNCISSEC, JNCIPSEC, or JNCIESEC) in the Security track — strongly preferred
Relevant certifications such as Cisco CCNP/CCIE, or cloud networking certifications (e.g. AWS Advanced Networking Specialty)
Experience with software-defined networking (SDN) or network virtualization technologies
