• Experience with high-availability networking and disaster recovery design
• Ability to communicate complex technical concepts and tradeoffs clearly

Desirable

• Dispel is seeking a Cloud Network Architect (IC6) to lead the design and evolution of secure, scalable network architectures across cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments
• This role operates at a senior individual contributor level, balancing strategic architecture, hands-on implementation, and cross-functional enablement
• You will translate complex business and security requirements into robust network designs, support mission-critical systems, and drive improvements across our infrastructure and engineering practices
• This role requires both deep technical expertise and strong communication skills, as you will influence decisions across Engineering, Product, and Operations
• This is a remote role with up to 30% travel
• Candidates must be able to pass an extensive background check
• Architecture & Design (Discovery)
• Lead the design of secure, scalable network architectures across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments
• Translate ambiguous or evolving business requirements into concrete, actionable technical designs
• Evaluate and communicate tradeoffs across cost, performance, scalability, and security
• Develop clear technical documentation and architecture diagrams
• Implementation & Technical Leadership
• Contribute hands-on to implementation, prototyping, and lab environments
• Design and implement high-availability, fault-tolerant, and disaster recovery networking solutions
• Establish and promote best practices in network design, segmentation, and secure connectivity
• Guide adoption of modern networking patterns and cloud-native architectures
• Network Security & Infrastructure
• Architect and implement secure networking solutions including VPNs, zero trust, SD-WAN, and segmentation strategies
• Oversee logics around routing, interconnectivity, and secure access across distributed systems
• Ensure systems meet security and compliance requirements
• Enabling Others & Cross-Functional Impact
• Provide clarity and direction to enable execution across teams
• Recommend improvements to processes, tooling, and network architecture
• Partner with Product, Engineering, and Operations to align technical solutions with business goals
• Mentor engineers and elevate overall technical capability
• Participate in an on-call support for system reliability, including responding to incidents and performing after-hours troubleshooting as needed
• What Success Looks Like:
• Network architectures are scalable, secure, and aligned with business needs
• Teams are enabled with clear designs and actionable direction
