IT Engineer 6

Network Strategy & Architecture Develop network architecture aligned with business goals; set standards for LAN, WAN, WLAN, SD-WAN, VPN, Cloud, and Data Center. Assess current infrastructure; recommend modernization, scalability, and optimization. Technology Planning & Roadmaps Create multi-year roadmaps for growth, resilience, and security. Evaluate emerging technologies (SDN, ZTNA, SASE, automation) for adoption. Design & Architecture Produce HLD/LLD documents for topology, routing, security, and integration. Architect solutions for campuses, branches, data centers, and hybrid/cloud environments. Routing, Switching & Security Design scalable routing (BGP, EIGRP, EVPN/VXLAN) integrated with security (firewalls, segmentation, VPN, NAC, ZTNA). Define global addressing, routing policies, and traffic engineering. Performance & Resilience Ensure high availability, redundancy, failover, and performance optimization. Define capacity planning for bandwidth, throughput, and resiliency. Collaborate with cybersecurity teams on secure architecture (micro-segmentation, encryption). Maintain compliance (ISO 27001) and enforce governance frameworks. Partner with application, cloud, security, and infrastructure teams. Participate in vendor evaluation and solution comparisons. Documentation & Standards Maintain architecture diagrams, HLD/LLD, design standards, and topology maps. Define policies for configuration management and change control. Troubleshooting & Escalation Act as top-tier escalation for complex issues; lead RCA and long-term fixes. Automation & Transformation Promote automation, IaC, and SDN using tools like Ansible, Terraform, Python. Cost Optimization & Vendor Management Evaluate vendor solutions (Cisco, Palo Alto, Zscaler, Netskope). Optimize costs via consolidation, cloud planning, and contract reviews.
