Network & Application Integration Architect
Network & Application Integration Architect
“Bridging the gap between networks and applications – one load balancer at a time!”
Are you the kind of tech wizard who understands both the nuts and bolts of networking and what applications really need? Can you juggle firewalls, API gateways, and load balancers like a pro? If so, we need you on our team!
What you’ll be doing
As a Network & Application Integration Architect, you’ll be the key link between network and application teams, making sure everything – from load balancing to API connections – runs smoothly, securely, and at lightning speed.
Your superpowers
🔗 Aligning Applications & Networks
- Work with application teams to understand their networking, security, and performance needs.
- Design smart network solutions (load balancers, proxies, firewall rules, API gateways).
- Ensure everything is fast, stable, and resilient.
⚡ Load Balancing & Traffic Optimization
- Architect and fine-tune load balancing solutions (NGINX, Akamai, Cloudflare) to keep traffic flowing.
- Use caching and reverse proxies to boost performance.
🔒 Security & Compliance (because hackers never sleep)
- Collaborate with security teams to optimize firewalls, VPNs, and zero-trust networking.
- Ensure applications are protected with WAF, DDoS mitigation, and API security best practices.
☁️ Hybrid & Cloud Networking (nice to have, but extra points if you’re a pro!)
- Connect on-premises and cloud platforms (AWS & Azure) seamlessly.
- Optimize API gateways (YARP, NGINX) to keep microservices talking smoothly.
📊 Monitoring & Performance Optimization
- Use tools like Grafana, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry to keep an eye on network and application performance.
- Hunt down bottlenecks, fix latency issues, and ensure everything runs like a dream.
- Automate monitoring and observability (because manual work is so 2010).
What we’re looking for
- Someone who can speak both network and application fluently (without causing a tech war).
- Experience with network architecture, load balancers, and security solutions.
- Knowledge of cloud platforms is a big plus.
- A sense of humor and the ability to stay cool when things go wrong (because they will – and usually at the worst time).
What’s in it for you?
✅ A role where you can truly make an impact.
✅ A tech-driven team that lives and breathes networking (and maybe talks too much about their home lab setups).
✅ All the tools and training you need to keep leveling up.
✅ A salary that makes you smile – plus great benefits.
