Senior / Lead Pre-Sales Solutions Architect – Enterprise Networking

Remote (New Jersey / NYC)

Occasional regional travel to client sites

A leading technology solutions provider focused on digital transformation, Cloud & Data Center, Cybersecurity, and AI is hiring a Senior / Lead Pre-Sales Solutions Architect (Enterprise Networking) to support enterprise customers across the New Jersey / Metro NYC region.

This is a highly visible, high-impact role supporting complex, multi-million-dollar enterprise architectures and strategic pursuits. There is a clear path to grow into a Player-Coach or Regional Director–level role as the territory scales.

Role:

You will act as a trusted technical advisor and lead architect to enterprise customers, partnering closely with Account Executives to drive technical strategy and win complex deals.

This role is focused on modern enterprise network architecture, including data center, campus, and WAN transformation initiatives.

You’ll operate in a primarily remote capacity, with targeted travel for key client engagements, whiteboarding sessions, and executive presentations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as the technical lead on enterprise opportunities, aligning internal teams, OEM partners, and client stakeholders
• Lead pre-sales strategy, architecture, and solution design across complex enterprise environments
• Design and present modern network architectures across data center, campus, and WAN
• Act as a design authority for large-scale enterprise accounts and strategic pursuits
• Drive customer-facing discovery, translating business objectives into technical solutions
• Develop architecture documentation, proposals, and solution frameworks
• Lead and support proofs of concept, demos, and technical validations
• Advise clients on future-state architecture, roadmaps, and transformation strategies
• Partner with post-sales and delivery teams to ensure clean execution handoff

Technical Focus (Core to the Role):

This is not a generalist networking role — the focus is on modern, scalable, software-defined architecture:

• Data Center: Spine/Leaf architectures leveraging VXLAN-EVPN overlays
• Network Virtualization & Fabric: EVPN, multi-vendor fabrics, segmentation strategies
• Automation & Programmability: Infrastructure as Code, API-driven networking, tools like Ansible, Terraform, Python
• SD-WAN / SASE: Design and deployment of enterprise SD-WAN solutions (Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto, etc.)
• Campus & Wireless Modernization: SDA, cloud-managed networking, segmentation
• Cloud Networking: Integration with AWS, Azure, GCP (hybrid / multi-cloud connectivity)

Skills & Experience:

• 7+ years designing and implementing enterprise networking solutions
• 5+ years in a pre-sales / solutions architecture role within a VAR, OEM, or integrator
• Deep experience with modern data center and WAN architectures (EVPN/VXLAN, SD-WAN)
• Strong background across leading OEMs (Cisco, Juniper, Aruba, Palo Alto, Fortinet, etc.)
• Experience supporting large, complex enterprise environments and strategic deals
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and executive stakeholders
• Proven track record of owning and closing technical aspects of enterprise opportunities

Pluses:

• CCIE, CCDE, JNCIE, PCNSE, or similar advanced certifications
• Experience with network automation frameworks and tooling
• Prior leadership or mentorship experience (Player-Coach trajectory)

Highlights:

• Remote role based in New Jersey / NYC Metro region with ~20–30% client-facing travel across the region
• True senior-level architecture ownership - not a support or post-sales delivery role
• Heavy focus on modern enterprise networking (Spine/Leaf, VXLAN-EVPN, SD-WAN, automation)
• Pre-sales leadership role with direct impact on multi-million-dollar enterprise opportunities
• Blend of architecture, client advisory, and technical strategy - not just product positioning
• Direct exposure to complex enterprise production environments across data center, campus, and WAN
• High visibility with enterprise clients, executive stakeholders, and OEM partners
• Clear path toward Player-Coach / Regional leadership as the business scales
• Competitive compensation aligned with top-tier pre-sales architecture talent
