This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Associate IP Architect based in India.

This role sits at the intersection of network architecture design and hands-on engineering execution, supporting the development of robust, scalable IP-based connectivity platforms used in mission-critical remote environments. You will contribute to defining and evolving architectural standards across domains such as SD-WAN, transport networks, and network security, ensuring alignment with global infrastructure strategies. The position plays a key role in translating high-level architectural intent into practical, build-ready designs that engineering and operations teams can implement reliably. You will work closely with senior architects, engineering teams, and network operations centers to validate solutions and ensure compliance with technical standards. The environment is highly collaborative and globally distributed, offering exposure to cutting-edge networking technologies and large-scale infrastructure challenges. This is a growth-oriented role designed to build deep architectural expertise and prepare you for progression into a full IP Architect position.

Accountabilities

In this role, you will take ownership of defined IP architecture domains and contribute to the design, standardization, and implementation of scalable network solutions across global platforms. You will bridge architectural strategy with engineering execution to ensure consistent, high-quality deployments.

Own and develop domain-specific architecture standards, reference designs, and implementation guidelines for areas such as SD-WAN, transport, and network security
Translate high-level architecture into detailed HLDs and LLDs that are executable by engineering and operations teams
Support design validation, configuration reviews, and deployment assurance across IP engineering initiatives
Develop and maintain technical documentation, configuration templates, and reusable design patterns
Conduct proof-of-concept testing and lab validation for new technologies and vendor solutions
Define resiliency, capacity, and failover requirements aligned with global network availability objectives
Collaborate with NOC and engineering teams to ensure operational readiness and smooth implementation handovers
Contribute to change management processes, deployment strategies, and rollback procedures

Requirements

This role requires strong foundational expertise in IP networking and architecture, combined with the ability to translate design principles into practical engineering outcomes. The ideal candidate brings both technical depth and collaborative capability within large-scale, distributed environments.

Experience in IP network architecture, design, or senior network engineering roles
Strong knowledge of SD-WAN, MPLS, EVPN, transport networks, and network security principles
Ability to produce HLDs, LLDs, and detailed technical documentation for implementation teams
Hands-on experience with network protocols, segmentation, resiliency design, and capacity planning
Familiarity with lab validation, PoC development, and vendor technology evaluation
Understanding of network operations workflows, including NOC support and escalation processes
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills in complex network environments
Ability to collaborate across global engineering, operations, and architecture teams
Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts into actionable designs
Exposure to automation, infrastructure modernization, or cloud-integrated networking is an advantage

Benefits

Competitive compensation package aligned with senior technical responsibilities
Remote-friendly work environment with global team collaboration
Exposure to large-scale, mission-critical IP and connectivity infrastructure
Career progression path toward full IP Architect responsibilities
Learning opportunities across SD-WAN, security, transport, and advanced networking technologies
Participation in global projects spanning multiple industries and regions
Strong focus on innovation, technical growth, and cross-domain architectural development.
