Senior Datacenter Network & Security Architect

Exp - 8 - 12 years

We are looking for a senior-level Network and Security Architect to support a complex datacenter segmentation and security architecture project. This is primarily an architecture and advisory role rather than an operational network engineering position.

Role

• The architect will assess the existing datacenter network and security environment and develop a future-state segmentation architecture.
• The work includes reviewing network topology, routing, VLANs/VRFs, IP addressing, firewall boundaries and key application traffic flows.
• The architect will define appropriate security zones and trust boundaries, determine how communication between environments should be controlled, and provide recommendations around firewalling, micro segmentation, access control, logging and monitoring.
• The role also includes developing a practical migration approach from the current environment to the target architecture while maintaining availability of business-critical services.

Required Experience

• We are looking for someone with strong hands-on architecture experience in multiple complex datacenter environments and a solid background in: Datacenter network architecture and segmentation Routing, switching, VLANs,
• VRFs and IP architecture Firewall architecture and security policy design East-west and north-south traffic control Zero Trust and least-privilege principles Micro segmentation concepts and technologies Load balancing,
• DNS/IPAM and network monitoring High-availability and business-critical environments Migration planning,
• dependency analysis and rollback design Security logging and SIEM integration Working with infrastructure,
• security, application and operations teams Knowledge of Cisco technologies and enterprise firewall platforms is preferred.
• Experience with recognized security frameworks such as ISO 27001/27002, CIS Controls and Zero Trust architecture is valuable.
• The candidate must be able to operate at architecture level, communicate clearly with senior technical stakeholders and translate complex technical risks into practical design decisions.
• Expected Deliverables The engagement should result in: Current-state datacenter network and security assessment
• Target datacenter segmentation architecture Defined security zones and trust boundaries Documented communication and access-control principles Identification of critical application traffic flows and dependencies
• Recommendations for firewalling and micro segmentation
• Logging and monitoring requirements Migration strategy including phases, risks, dependencies and rollback principles
• Architecture and operational documentation suitable for handover to internal teams
• The primary objective is to improve isolation between workloads, reduce opportunities for lateral movement, improve security visibility and create a datacenter architecture that remains manageable and scalable.
