This is a hands‑on, influence-driven role for a systems thinker who communicates equally well with engineers and executives.

What You’ll Do

• Define and maintain the target‑state network architecture across cloud and on‑premises environments, including reference designs, standards, and documentation.
• Architect cloud network solutions in an Azure‑first environment, designing for scalability, segmentation, and secure connectivity.
• Design and govern the network security edge, including next‑generation firewalls, zero‑trust principles, and secure remote access.
• Guide the evolution of enterprise routing, switching, and wireless infrastructure, and define integration paths between on‑premises and cloud.
• Support multi‑cloud connectivity as part of a broader cloud strategy.
• Ensure network designs align with healthcare regulatory and security requirements, partnering with the security organization on audit readiness.
• Champion automation and Infrastructure‑as‑Code approaches to network provisioning and change management.
• Partner on incident response and root cause analysis, translating lessons learned into architectural improvements.
• Evaluate emerging technologies and vendors, making recommendations that improve reliability, security, and cost efficiency.
• Present and defend architecture decisions to technical teams and senior stakeholders with clear, business‑framed rationale.

• 8+ years in enterprise networking, with 3+ years in a formal network architecture role for a large, multi‑site environment.
• Cloud network architecture hands‑on experience designing cloud networking, with depth in Microsoft Azure.
• Network security strong background with next‑generation firewall platforms, zero‑trust architecture, and secure remote access.
• Enterprise networking solid experience with enterprise routing, switching, and wireless technologies.
• Multi‑cloud exposure to additional public cloud platforms is a plus.
• Automation familiarity with Infrastructure‑as‑Code and scripting (e.g., Terraform, PowerShell, or Python).
• Experience designing for high availability, resiliency, and secure access in a regulated environment (healthcare/HIPAA experience preferred).
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across engineering, leadership, and partner teams.
• Must be inquisitive and demonstrate openness to innovation including AI to explore better processes and ways to alleviate friction and improve patient and client experiences.
• This is a remote position; however, candidates must be willing and able to travel to and work onsite at client, temporary, or corporate office locations as business needs require.
• This position pays between $148,800 - $223,200 based on experience.

Nice to Have

• Relevant industry certifications in cloud networking, network security, or enterprise networking.
• Experience in healthcare, revenue cycle, or another regulated industry.
• Exposure to establishing architecture standards or review practices.
