Role: Senior Network Architect (Network Solutioning & Design)Role Designation: Principal ConsultantLocation – Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Germany, London (Any EMEA location)Role SummaryWe are seeking a Senior Network Architect with deep, hands-on expertise in end-to-end network solutioning across the modern enterprise stack — Software-Defined LAN, SD-WAN, SASE, application delivery (load balancing), DDI, and Software-Defined Data Center LAN. The role owns the technical design and architecture of complex, multi-vendor network solutions from concept through to detailed design and handover, translating business and security requirements into resilient, scalable, and automatable architectures.This is a senior individual-contributor / technical-authority role that blends solution design, pre-sales/solutioning support, standards definition, and mentoring. You will be the go-to authority on network design decisions, reference architectures, and technology selection, working closely with delivery teams, security, cloud, customers, and OEM partners. The role also increasingly requires fluency in AI — both applying AI/AIOps to operate and optimize networks, and designing networks that support AI/ML workloads.Key Responsibilities
