Job summary

Infosys Limited is seeking a Network Solution Architect with 12–20 years of enterprise networking experience to own the architecture for campus LAN, WAN, data center, cloud, and security-edge domains. You will deliver HLDs/LLDs, reference architectures, topology diagrams, migration plans, and BOMs, and lead evaluations, PoCs and vendor selections.

Responsibilities include supporting pre-sales, sizing and costing solutions, presenting designs to executives, and guiding legacy-to-SD‑WAN/SASE

Qualifications

• 12+ years of enterprise networking experience.
• Experience across campus LAN, WAN, data center, cloud, and security-edge (SASE).
• Ability to lead architecture reviews, governance, and design standards.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end architecture and solution design for enterprise network programs spanning campus/LAN, WAN, data center, cloud, and security-edge domains.
• Produce HLDs, LLDs, reference architectures, topology diagrams, migration plans, and bill of materials.
• Lead technology evaluations, PoCs, and OEM/vendor selection based on functional, commercial, operational, and security criteria.
• Support pre-sales and solutioning activities: respond to RFPs/RFIs, size and cost solutions, and present designs to customers and executives.
• Define transformation strategies for legacy-to-software-defined transitions (e.g., WAN to SD-WAN/SASE, DC to spine-leaf fabric, campus to SD-Access/fabric).
• Embed security-by-design: micro-segmentation, Zero Trust, secure edge, and integration with broader security architecture.
• Drive network automation and Infrastructure-as-Code adoption (templating, ZTP, CI/CD for network config).
• Establish design governance – architecture review boards, design patterns, guardrails, and documentation standards.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to network engineers and junior architects; act as design escalation point during delivery.
• Partner with cloud, security, applications, and infrastructure teams to align network architecture with enterprise roadmaps.
