Principal Network Architect (Campus & Data Center)
Location: New York, NY (Local or Relocation) | Employment Type: Full-Time
Position Mission
We are seeking a CCIE Lab-Certified technical authority to spearhead the architecture, lifecycle design, and migration of mission-critical Campus and Data Center infrastructures. You will serve as the primary architect for complex connectivity ecosystems, bridging the gap between high-level strategic design and deep-tier technical troubleshooting. This role demands an expert capable of engineering robust dual-stack (IPv4/IPv6) environments and overseeing large-scale data analytics validation.
Core Technical Pillars
• Expert Routing & Switching: Mastery of complex BGP path manipulation, OSPF, STP, and high-tier Multicast (PIM, IGMPv2/v3, Anycast RP).
• Infrastructure Stack: Architectural design and hands-on optimization for Cisco (Nexus 9K, Catalyst 9K, ASR/ISR) and Arista switching platforms.
• Advanced Overlays & Security: Expertise in deploying and securing VXLAN fabrics, DMVPN, and IPsec tunneling.
• Identity & Services: Operational fluency in Cisco ISE, TACACS+, and integrated DNS/DHCP services.
• L1/Physical Engineering: Advanced knowledge of high-speed interconnects (10G–100G optics), including fiber density and breakout management.
Strategic Responsibilities
• Enterprise Design: Blueprinting scalable, resilient network architectures for DC and Campus tiers using dual-stack protocols.
• IoT & Edge Optimization: Engineering and troubleshooting the network fabric to support dense IoT sensor arrays and device communication.
• Migration Orchestration: Serving as the technical lead for high-stakes migrations, ensuring zero-to-minimal service disruption.
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Driving operational efficiency through network automation, specifically leveraging Ansible.
• Performance Validation: Engineering rigorous testing protocols for data aggregation and network-wide analytics.
Candidate Requirements
• Credential: Mandatory CCIE Lab Certification (Active/Verified).
• Experience: A minimum of 12 years in enterprise-scale network engineering and architecture.
• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or a related technical discipline.
