Job Description

The Redesign Group is a global technology solutions consulting firm helping organizations modernize, secure, and scale mission-critical IT infrastructure. We are expanding our Architecture practice and seeking a Senior Network Solutions Architect to lead enterprise pre-sales engagements focused on data center modernization, secure networking, and hybrid cloud integration.

This role is designed for a senior architect with deep on-premises infrastructure expertise — networking, compute, storage, and security — who can bridge traditional enterprise environments with modern hybrid and cloud-connected architectures. You will partner with Sales, Engineering, and OEM teams to design scalable, secure, and resilient solutions that modernize core infrastructure while enabling long-term cloud and automation strategies.

Candidates must live on the West Coast (CA, WA, OR, NV, or AZ). This role requires regular in-person meetings with the sales team and clients at customer sites.

• Own technical discovery from initial assessment through solution design and transition to delivery.
• Translate business objectives into practical infrastructure architecture strategies.
• Develop modernization roadmaps aligned to operational maturity and cloud integration goals.

Architect Modern Data Center Networks

• Design and validate EVPN/VXLAN spine-leaf architectures and application-centric networking models.
• Architect enterprise routing and switching solutions using MPLS, MP-BGP, OSPF, ISIS, L3VPN/L2VPN.
• Define high-availability, multi-site, and disaster-resilient network designs.
• Guide lifecycle planning including upgrades, migration sequencing, and failure domain modeling.

Drive Secure Networking and Segmentation

• Architect firewall integration, segmentation strategy, and policy enforcement across data center, WAN, campus, and cloud.
• Design SD-WAN and secure access architectures aligned with Zero Trust and SASE frameworks.
• Integrate security telemetry and operational visibility into network designs.

Modernize Hybrid Infrastructure

• Design solutions spanning virtualization platforms (VMware, Hyper‑V, Nutanix) and software-defined networking and storage.
• Architect connectivity between on-premises environments and public cloud providers.
• Align compute, storage, backup, and disaster recovery strategies with network architecture.

Support Complex Pre-Sales Engagements

• Lead architecture workshops and technical deep dives with enterprise engineering teams.
• Support RFP/RFI responses and contribute to scopes of work and implementation strategies.
• Produce detailed HLD/LLD documentation, architecture diagrams, and BOM-level designs.
• Ensure clean transition from pre-sales architecture to delivery teams.

Core Focus Areas

• On-Prem Data Center Modernization
• Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Connectivity
• Software-Defined Networking (ACI, EVPN/VXLAN, SD-WAN)
• Enterprise Routing & WAN Architecture
• Firewall & Segmentation Strategy
• Virtualization & Hypervisor Integration
• Backup, Disaster Recovery, and Business Continuity
• Infrastructure Automation & Orchestration

What Success Looks Like

• You are recognized as a senior architectural authority across enterprise engagements.
• Your designs are technically rigorous, operationally viable, and aligned to modernization strategy.
• You influence complex deal strategy through technical credibility and clarity.
• Your documentation and design standards elevate Redesign’s technical execution.

Required Technical Background

• 10+ years of progressive enterprise infrastructure and networking experience.
• Deep expertise in enterprise routing and switching (MPLS, MP-BGP, OSPF, ISIS, L3VPN/L2VPN).
• Strong background in modern data center networking (EVPN/VXLAN, spine-leaf architectures, application-centric models).
