MSP Owner: Michelle Lee
Location: IRVING, TX
Duration: 6 months
skill id: 10740994
We are seeking a highly skilled 15+ Years experienced Network Architect to design and lead enterprise-grade datacenter and cloud networking solutions. The role requires deep expertise in Cisco core networking (routers, switches), Citrix ADC/load balancers, and modern hybrid cloud connectivity architectures.
The ideal candidate will drive network transformation, scalability, security, and high availability, enabling resilient infrastructure for mission-critical applications.
Key Responsibilities
Datacenter Network Architecture
• Design and implement scalable, high-performance datacenter network architectures
• Define core, distribution, and access layer designs using Cisco technologies
• Architect high availability (HA) and redundancy models (active-active / active-passive)
• Establish network standards, design patterns, and governance frameworks
Cisco Core Networking
• Architect and manage Cisco core switches and routers (Nexus, Catalyst platforms)
• Design Layer 2/Layer 3 network topology, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP)
• Optimize network performance, latency, and throughput across enterprise environments
• Lead capacity planning and network scalability initiatives
Load Balancing & Application Delivery (Citrix ADC)
• Design and implement Citrix ADC (NetScaler) solutions for application delivery
• Configure load balancing, SSL offloading, and traffic optimization
• Architect secure access solutions and application availability models
• Integrate load balancing into hybrid and multi-site environments
Cloud Networking & Hybrid Connectivity
• Design cloud network architectures (AWS/Azure/GCP) including VPC/VNet design
• Enable hybrid connectivity (VPN, Direct Connect, ExpressRoute)
• Architect secure connectivity between on-prem datacenters and cloud platforms
• Support multi-region and multi-cloud networking strategies
High Availability, Security & DR
• Architect resilient networks with failover and disaster recovery capabilities
• Implement network segmentation, firewall integration, and Zero Trust principles
• Design solutions aligned with enterprise security and compliance standards
• Conduct DR testing and network failover validation exercises
Network Automation & Modernization
• Drive network automation using tools like Ansible / Python scripting
• Support infrastructure modernization initiatives (SDN, software-defined networking)
• Integrate networking with DevOps and platform engineering ecosystems
• Lead transition toward intent-based and programmable networks
Key Skills & Experience
Technical Skills
• Networking: Cisco Nexus, Catalyst, Core Routing (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP)
• Load Balancing: Citrix ADC (NetScaler), Traffic Management
• Cloud: AWS/Azure/GCP Networking (VPC, subnets, routing, gateways)
• Connectivity: VPN, MPLS, SD-WAN, ExpressRoute, Direct Connect
• Security: Network segmentation, firewalls, Zero Trust frameworks
• Automation: Ansible, Python (desirable)
Experience
• 12-18+ years of experience in network architecture and engineering
• Proven experience designing enterprise datacenter and hybrid cloud networks
• Strong expertise in Cisco networking and Citrix load balancing solutions
• Hands-on experience with large-scale network transformation initiatives
Preferred Certifications
• Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP) / CCIE
• Citrix Certified Professional - Networking (CCP-N)
• Cloud Certifications (AWS/Azure Networking Specialty)
• ITIL (preferred)
Key Deliverables / Outcomes
• Highly available, resilient network architecture supporting Tier 0/1 applications
• Optimized network performance and reduced latency across enterprise systems
• Seamless hybrid connectivity between datacenter and cloud environments
• Improved security posture and compliance adherence
• Accelerated network provisioning through automation
Skills: EIS : Network Engineer
Experience Required: 6-8, Project Code :
