Network Architect (Domain Lead)

Network Architect (Domain Lead) directs on-site engineers and field technicians. Travel required for cutovers and site work.

Designs and delivers the move of each acquired company's WAN, edge, campus and site connectivity, including jobsites, yards and remote locations, onto the parent's Cisco SD-WAN standard.

• Discover the network estate: circuits and carriers, sites, firewalls, wireless and IP space
• Design the target network, the interim VPN interconnect and the plan for fixing overlapping IP space
• Define segmentation and hardening with the parent company's security architects
• Plan the cutover sequence across sites, carriers and hardware lead times, including the impact on applications and voice
• Move off inherited Palo Alto, Fortinet and Meraki equipment, and deliver Azure network connectivity as workloads move
• Hands-on: Cisco configuration, staging and cutover, directing field crews on site

Must have: [8+] years of network engineering, with design ownership on live migrations; deep Cisco IOS/IOS-XE and SD-WAN design; BGP/OSPF; 802.1X/ISE; Azure networking; Python/Ansible; experience leading field resources.

Nice to have: CCNP, AWS networking, enterprise wireless site surveys.

Prior M&A integration experience and work in field-heavy industries (construction, energy, utilities) are strong pluses for all three.
