We are seeking a forward-thinking Global Network Architect to design and lead the evolution of a next-generation, software-defined, and cloud-integrated global network. This role builds on strong enterprise networking fundamentals while advancing modern architectures such as SASE, Zero Trust, SD-WAN, and cloud-native networking, leveraging platforms including Cisco Catalyst, Cisco Meraki, and Zscaler. You will serve as a technical leader responsible for designing scalable, secure, and automated network solutions across corporate offices, venues (including arenas), and cloud environments, while guiding the transition from legacy infrastructure to a fully software-defined, policy-driven architecture.

  • Drive transformation from traditional networking to SD-WAN, SASE / Zero Trust, and Cloud-native networking.
  • Define standards for secure, scalable, and highly available network designs across global environments.
  • Partner with business and technical stakeholders to ensure architecture aligns with company initiatives and growth.
  • Oversee and maintain large-scale enterprise networks including Cisco Catalyst, Cisco Meraki, Internet connectivity, routing, VPN solutions, and venue wireless technologies.

  • Ensure compliance with security best practices and enterprise policies.
  • Collaborate closely with data security teams to maintain and protect network integrity.
  • Drive network automation and infrastructure-as-code using Python, Ansible, APIs.
  • Build and enhance monitoring, telemetry, and analytics platforms to track network performance, capacity, and utilization trends.
  • Implement self-healing and scalable operational processes.
  • Act as a technical authority and mentor within the network engineering team.
  • Provide hands-on support, proof-of-concept development, and design validation.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with cloud, security, and application teams.
  • Promote innovation, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing across teams.

Requirements

  • Strong experience with Cisco Catalyst (switching, routing, campus/core design) and Cisco Meraki (cloud-managed networking, SD-WAN, wireless).
  • Advanced knowledge of BGP, EIGRP, STP, Layer 2–7 networking concepts, and VPN technologies (IPsec, DMVPN, VTI, SSL VPN).
  • Experience with wireless and smart-venue technologies: Wi‑Fi, BLE, DAS.
  • Experience with Zscaler (ZIA, ZPA) or equivalent SASE platforms.
  • Strong understanding of Zero Trust architecture, SASE frameworks, and secure access service edge design principles.
  • Working knowledge of AWS and/or Azure networking.
  • Experience integrating on-prem networks with cloud environments.
  • Proficiency in Python and/or automation frameworks (Ansible).
  • Experience with network monitoring and observability tools.
  • Familiarity with APIs and infrastructure-as-code practices.
