About this role
We're hiring a senior Network Architect for a 12-month contract that's very likely to extend. It's a hybrid role based in Richmond, VA — about 3 days a week onsite and the rest remote. You'll need to be based in the US for the full assignment. Heads up: parking isn't provided at the onsite location.
You'll own the network end to end — LAN, WAN, VPN, and wireless — and keep it secure, fast, and ready to scale.
What you'll do:
- Plan, design, and configure LAN, WAN, VPN, and wireless networks
- Make sure the architecture meets security and performance standards
- Monitor performance with the right tools and dashboards, and watch traffic and usage trends
- Keep documentation current — topology diagrams, IP schemes, and configurations
- Diagnose and resolve connectivity issues, and handle Tier 2/3 escalations
- Work alongside the help desk and system admins on cross-team issues
- Build out disaster recovery, redundancy, and failover
- Report on network health, incidents, and performance, and recommend upgrades as needs grow
What we're looking for:
- 7+ years planning, designing, and configuring LAN, WAN, VPN, and wireless networks
- 7+ years building network architecture around security and performance
- Strong with network documentation, traffic analysis, and network health reporting
- 5+ years hands-on with cloud (AWS or Azure)
- Server infrastructure experience is a big plus
