Network architecture | HLD/LLD | Cisco ACI Your new company
Renowned education client based in South-eastern suburbs of Melbourne.
Your new role
My client is engaging a senior, enterprise-level Network Architect to lead the architectural design and delivery of major multi-site Data Centre uplift initiatives. This role is for someone who operates at expert level - someone who has personally designed and delivered large-scale data centre architectures and is comfortable being accountable for the final technical outcome.

Role and responsibilities:
  • Own the end-to-end architecture of multi-site data centre network solutions.
  • Make definitive architectural decisions across scale, resilience, performance, security, and operational risk.
  • Remove ambiguity and drive technical clarity across engineering teams and stakeholders.
  • Lead validation strategy - lab testing, proof-of-concept, and production readiness.
  • Embed automation and repeatable standards to increase long-term operational maturity.
  • Deliver production-ready, fully documented architectures aligned to enterprise governance frameworks.
  • What you'll need to succeed
  • 10+ years designing enterprise-scale network architectures in complex, multi-site environments.
  • Demonstrated ownership of data centre architecture at scale - not just configuration or build activity.
  • Proven delivery across the full lifecycle: strategy, HLD/LLD, validation, implementation oversight, and transition to operations.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent enterprise-level experience.
  • CCIE, CCDE or equivalent expert-level certification are strongly preferred.
  • Cisco ACI (including multi-site deployments)
  • EVPN (multi-site), OSPF, BGP at enterprise scale
  • Palo Alto firewall architecture and policy design
  • WAF and load balancer integration
  • Optical networking strategy and transceiver design
  • Hybrid networking across public and private cloud environments
  • What you'll get in return
  • Initial 12-month contract + potential extensions.
  • Market rates.
  • Hybrid environment.
  • What you need to do now
