We\'re looking for a Senior Network Engineer to help transform and modernize Archer\'s enterprise network into a coherent, standards-driven, observable infrastructure. You\'ll be the technical anchor on a committed team - defining the architectural bar, driving consistency across campuses and sites, and building the automation and observability practices that let the team operate with confidence at scale. This is a tech lead role and you\'ll be the person the team looks to for design direction, peer review, and technical mentorship.
What You\'ll Do- Build, maintain, and support Archer\'s network infrastructure across campus, branch, data center, and SD-WAN cloud environments
- Own and drive network design standards - ensuring new sites are built right and existing sites are brought into conformance
- Lead architecture reviews for significant network changes; serve as the escalation point for complex design and troubleshooting decisions
- Plan, design, and implement LAN/WAN solutions including, NG Firewall (PAN), SD-WAN (Velocloud and Cisco SDWAN), defining and maintaining golden configurations across the environment
- Align with and contribute to Information Security strategy - including segmentation, zero-trust posture, and compliance requirements (SOX, ISO, and others)
- Design and maintain AWS networking (VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect, Security Groups) and ensure consistent connectivity with on-prem and Prisma Access
- Drive adoption of network automation and infrastructure-as-code practices (Ansible, Python, Terraform)
- Build and own network observability: telemetry, alerting, and dashboards that give the team real signal without alert fatigue
- Support and troubleshoot network issues including after-hours escalations where required
- Research and document vendor and technology comparisons for cost, capability, and fit
- Mentor and elevate the engineers around you - good documentation, good peer reviews, helping the team level up
- Communicate clearly and credibly at all levels of the business
What You Need- Minimum 8 years of experience in an enterprise network engineering role supporting complex, multi-site hybrid environments
- Hands-on expertise with Palo Alto Networks - NGFW, Panorama, GlobalProtect, and Prisma Access; you\'ve designed and operated these, not just maintained them
- Extensive experience with SD-WAN technologies, including Cisco and Velocloud SD-WAN
- Strong routing and switching fundamentals - BGP, OSPF, VXLAN/EVPN, L2/L3 switching, QoS, DHCP, DNS and spanning tree
- VLAN architecture and L3 segmentation design experience across multi-site environments
- Experience with Cisco, Ubiquiti, and HP/Aruba switching, wireless, and NAC solutions
- AWS networking experience (VPC, TGW, Direct Connect, security groups)
- Track record of driving network standards and consistency across a multi-site environment
- Hands-on installation, operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting of network infrastructure
- Ability to multitask and drive large-scale network project deliverables
- Experience introducing network automation (Ansible, Python, or similar) in an environment that had little or none
- Experience with IaC tooling (Terraform, Ansible) for network provisioning
- Exposure to network observability tooling (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, or similar)
- Excellent communication skills; ability to collaborate across IT and business teams
- CCNP or equivalent experience; CCIE or AWS Advanced Networking a plus
Nice to Have- Experience in a high-growth manufacturing, aerospace, defense, or compliance-heavy environment
