Join Mastercard's Systems and Platform Architecture team as a Lead Network Architect. You will be instrumental in designing and guiding network infrastructure solutions from initial concept through to production deployment. This role is crucial for maintaining our technology roadmap and ensuring solutions align with business objectives and stringent non-functional requirements.

Key responsibilities include creating high-level designs for platform infrastructure, managing the technology roadmap for platform and Unix solutions, and collaborating closely with Delivery, Engineering, and Operations teams. You will ensure new solutions adhere to policies and standards, meet requirements for performance, scalability, availability, security, and manageability, and identify and communicate technical risks effectively.

We seek a candidate with 9-13 years of relevant career experience and Cisco CCIE qualification. Essential skills include expertise in F5, Palo Alto, Arista, Checkpoint, and Infoblox, coupled with significant experience in high-availability environments and delivering complex technical designs. The ability to present complex technical information clearly to diverse audiences and adapt to new technologies is also vital. While not mandatory, experience with Netbrain and Gigastor is a plus.
