About this role
EOS IT Solutions is looking for a Principal Architect to design and lead the evolution of their data center infrastructure. You would own the strategy for next-generation architecture across physical and logical domains—defining regional constructs, workload placement zones, and modern fabric designs using EVPN/VXLAN. The role spans virtualization platforms (VCF stack), software-defined networking and storage, Kubernetes/Tanzu integration, and infrastructure-as-code automation, with responsibility for governance, design reviews, and roadmap delivery.
This position demands deep expertise: at least 10 years in data center or platform architecture, hands-on proficiency with vSphere, NSX, and vSAN, strong fabric and BGP knowledge, and solid container networking experience. You'll need to be comfortable driving automation, GitOps, and observability practices. Relevant certifications (VCIX, CCNP/CCIE DC, CKA) and experience with multi-region deployments, storage, and cyber-resilience are valued additions.
The role is based in Dallas but operates on a hybrid schedule across multiple EOS locations (NY, NJ, and TX). Compensation ranges from $170,000 to $200,000, with variation based on experience and qualifications.
