About this role
EOS IT Solutions is looking for a Principal Architect to design and lead the next generation of network automation and orchestration across their enterprise infrastructure. You would own the target-state architecture for network provisioning, API strategy, and self-service capabilities—defining how the organization moves toward intent-based networking and GitOps-driven pipelines. This is a leadership role that bridges network engineering with platform and security teams to establish standards, govern API lifecycles, and build the frameworks that enable automation at scale.
The ideal candidate brings 10+ years of network engineering or architecture experience combined with strong hands-on expertise in automation tools like Python, Ansible, and Terraform. You'll need solid API design skills (REST/GraphQL), familiarity with orchestration platforms such as GitHub Actions or ArgoCD, and deep knowledge of core networking fundamentals—routing, switching, firewalls, and cloud environments. Experience with configuration management systems and source-of-truth architectures is essential. Background in Kubernetes networking, event-driven automation, or internal developer platforms would be valuable, as would relevant certifications like CCNP, CCIE, or DevNet.
This is an in-office role based in the Dallas area, with hybrid flexibility across EOS locations in Plano, New York, and New Jersey. The salary range is $170,000 to $200,000, with final compensation reflecting your experience and qualifications.
