About the role

  • Experienced Network Architect at Carbon60, leading end-to-end network solutions in cloud infrastructure. Partnering with teams to design scalable, secure architectures for customer deployments.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with delivery and operations teams to define the target network architecture and implementation approach for customer deployments, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, and delivered on time.
  • Lead network solution design across the project lifecycle, producing high-level and low-level designs, defining requirements, and providing technical direction to ensure alignment with customer needs and internal standards.
  • Identify architectural risks, constraints, and dependencies (e.g., resiliency, latency, security, routing complexity), document design decisions and trade-offs, and escalate to stakeholders with mitigation options.
  • Develop and maintain network architecture artifacts (reference architectures, design standards, templates, and patterns) and publish them to internal knowledge repositories to enable consistent delivery and operations.
  • Provide design assurance by reviewing solution designs and implementation plans for architecture compliance, operational readiness, and security requirements prior to go-live.
  • Enable delivery and operations teams through architecture briefings, standards training, and design walkthroughs, accelerating adoption of new network capabilities and reducing operational risk.
  • Define and support the transition to operations model (monitoring, support processes, runbooks, and acceptance criteria) to ensure solutions are operable, maintainable, and aligned to service levels.
  • Act as the technical design authority, aligning stakeholders across delivery, security, operations, vendors, and customers to drive architecture decisions and resolve cross-domain dependencies.
  • Serve as an escalation point for architecture and design-related issues, leading root-cause analysis of systemic themes and driving corrective design changes and standards updates.
  • Own and evolve the target-state architecture for the company’s multi-tenant network platform, defining resiliency, scalability, performance, and security patterns and ensuring alignment with service objectives.
  • Define network architecture roadmaps aligned to business strategy and customer needs; evaluate technologies and vendors; and recommend improvements that advance platform capabilities and standardization.
  • Ensure all architectures and designs are clearly documented (HLD/LLD, diagrams, decision records) and that delivery and operations teams have the knowledge required to build and support the solutions.
  • Participate in ITSM and ISMS governance by defining and enforcing network architecture standards, contributing to risk assessments, and ensuring designs meet audit, policy, and control requirements.
  • Maintain expertise in modern networking and security architectures through continuous learning and industry engagement, and apply that knowledge to evolve internal standards, patterns, and practices.
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives that increase reliability, reduce complexity and cost, and improve customer experience through architecture-led standardization and platform optimization.
