The client is seeking a principal-level professional to help shape and deliver enterprise network capabilities across cloud and on-premises environments. This position offers the opportunity to contribute to significant architecture and implementation work, including the development of cloud networking, security, and SD-WAN platforms. The role is remote, with any specific location or work-eligibility requirements to be confirmed during the hiring process.

About The Role

The Network Engineer / Network Architect will take a hands-on leadership role in architecting, designing, building, and standing up a cloud network platform. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in Cisco Viptela SD-WAN, cloud security architecture, and Palo Alto firewalls, along with the ability to translate complex requirements into secure, reliable, and supportable solutions.

A key focus will be leading the deployment of Palo Alto firewalls in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or another cloud environment and helping establish a Cisco SD-WAN architecture that connects cloud hubs with on-premises branch locations and data center spokes. GCP experience is preferred but not required; comparable experience leading cloud deployments is relevant. The role combines strategic architecture and implementation with operational support, so the ideal candidate can work independently while collaborating effectively with technical stakeholders.

Qualifications

Candidates should have substantial experience in senior or principal-level network engineering, network architecture, or a closely related discipline. A strong background designing, implementing, and operating enterprise Cisco Viptela SD-WAN solutions is essential. Applicants should also demonstrate extensive experience with Palo Alto firewalls and cloud security architecture, including deployments that span cloud and on-premises infrastructure.

Experience planning cloud network connectivity between hubs, branches, and data centers is important, as is the ability to assess requirements, identify risks, and recommend practical architecture decisions. Direct GCP experience is preferred, but candidates with relevant cloud deployment expertise in other environments are encouraged to apply. The position calls for sound technical judgment, strong troubleshooting skills, clear communication, and the ability to drive work with limited day-to-day direction. Candidates should also be willing to complete a ROPES assessment as part of the evaluation process.

Responsibilities

Architect, design, build, and stand up a secure, scalable cloud network platform. Lead the planning and deployment of Palo Alto firewall capabilities in GCP or another cloud environment, and develop the associated security architecture and operational approach. Design and help implement a Cisco Viptela SD-WAN solution connecting cloud hubs to on-premises branches and data center spokes.

Assess existing network and security environments, gather technical requirements, and produce clear design recommendations. Coordinate implementation activities across cloud, network, security, and infrastructure teams. Validate connectivity, firewall policies, routing, resilience, and performance; troubleshoot issues; and support solutions through operational handover. Document architectures, configurations, decisions, and procedures to support consistent operations. Balance longer-term platform design with day-to-day engineering needs, communicate risks and progress, and help ensure solutions meet enterprise security and reliability expectations.

Benefits

This is a remote opportunity offering the chance to influence enterprise cloud and network architecture and take ownership of technically challenging initiatives. The role provides exposure to cloud security, Palo Alto firewall deployment, and Cisco SD-WAN design across connected cloud and on-premises environments. Compensation, benefits, and other employment terms will be shared by the hiring team during the recruitment process.

Equal Opportunity

Expert In Recruitment Solutions and its client are committed to fair and inclusive hiring. Applicants will be considered based on their qualifications, experience, and role-related capabilities, without discrimination on any basis protected by applicable law. Reasonable accommodations are available during the application and assessment process upon request.
