This is a hybrid role by design: the Senior Network Architect helps sell the right solution, designs it, builds it, and fixes it when it breaks, partnering with Sales and Presales to scope and architect network and security solutions, then implementing, remediating, and resolving escalated break/fix issues. Equally important, this role raises the capability of the whole team by mentoring and training existing network engineers across the One Technical Team (managed and professional services teams), to include building documentation (diagrams, runbooks, inventories, and procedures) that gives every engineer what they need to succeed in a client's environment. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable whiteboarding a target-state SD-WAN design with a client's IT director, troubleshooting a down IPsec tunnel at 7 a.m., and walking a junior engineer through why it happened. The Senior Network Architect will be responsible for the following: What you'll do: Architecture + Presales Partners with Sales, Presales, and Account Management to run technical discovery, assess current-state networks, and design fit-for-purpose solutions (SD-WAN, firewalls, LAN/WLAN, remote access/ZTNA, data center, and cloud networking).

Implementation + Migration Leads and executes network projects, including firewall and SD-WAN migrations (including Palo Alto to Fortinet), site rollouts built from standard templates, data center moves and vacates, subnet and routing migrations, load balancer migrations, and wireless/LAN refreshes. Builds and maintains centrally managed configurations using FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer, Panorama, and the Meraki Dashboard, driving consistent policy packages and site templates. Plans maintenance windows, change controls, and cutover and rollback plans, and coordinates with carriers, ISPs, SASE providers, and client application teams during changes. Implements remote access and Zero Trust solutions (FortiClient/EMS, IPsec and SSL VPN with SAML/MFA, and ZTNA) integrated with Microsoft Entra ID and Duo. Remediation, Break/Fix + Escalation Serves as the senior-most escalation point for complex network incidents across managed clients, including WAN and tunnel outages, failover failures, routing issues, performance and throughput problems, wireless issues, and VPN/certificate problems - including requirement to perform occasional work outside of normal business hours as needed to successfully manage critical network incidents and ensure the success of scheduled outages, maintenances, and cutovers Performs root-cause analysis, writes clear RCAs with corrective actions, and drives stabilization plans for unstable environments. Troubleshoots application-impacting network issues (for example, clinical imaging/PACS traffic and RDS and ERP access over WAN) alongside client and vendor teams. Works vendor and carrier support cases through to resolution (Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco/Meraki, Aryaka, and ISPs/circuit providers).
