*Salary: $140,000 - $160,000 per year*
*Location:* Hybrid Remote – Washington, DC
*Employer:* The C.A.S.E. Engineering Group (C.A.S.E.)
*About C.A.S.E. Engineering Group*
The C.A.S.E. Engineering Group is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) specializing in IT engineering, network and infrastructure architecture, cybersecurity, and modernization support for federal clients. We provide hands-on technical expertise across complex enterprise environments, with a focus on mission-critical systems, operational visibility, and secure, scalable modernization.
*Role Summary*
This is *not a policy-focused or documentation-only architecture role.* We are seeking a *hands-on Network Architect *to lead enterprise-wide *network discovery and modernization efforts *for a large federal environment. The primary objective of this role is to identify, validate, and document *what actually exists on the network today,* how it operates, what depends on it, and where risks and modernization opportunities exist.
The Network Architect (Enterprise Network Discovery & Modernization) will perform deep current-state discovery across enterprise networking infrastructure, including routing, switching, firewalls, segmentation, load balancing, and hybrid cloud connectivity. This role requires direct interaction with engineers and operators, hands-on analysis of configurations and authorized scan data, and the ability to translate technical findings into *authoritative architecture views.* While the role has enterprise scope, it is *network-centric first,* with enterprise architecture responsibilities applied through the lens of real network behavior rather than abstract frameworks.
*Key Responsibilities*
* Lead hands-on discovery of the current-state enterprise network environment, including routers, switches, firewalls, load balancers, DNS, network services, and on-prem, cloud, and hybrid connectivity
* Run, interpret, and validate authorized network discovery and scanning activities to identify active devices, undocumented systems, shadow IT, and unexpected connectivity paths
* Review and analyze network configurations, routing tables, firewall rules, topology diagrams, CMDB records, and monitoring data to reconcile documented versus actual state
* Conduct interviews with network engineers, system owners, security teams, and operations personnel to validate findings and uncover undocumented dependencies
* Map network-to-service and network-to-application relationships, identifying critical services, outage pathways, single points of failure, and legacy or high-risk configurations
* Assess how cybersecurity controls, identity services, segmentation, and boundary protections impact network behavior and enterprise dependencies
* Identify risks related to legacy network designs, insecure pathways, undocumented access, or insufficient segmentation
* Identify opportunities for network consolidation, modernization, and cloud integration, including hybrid and multi-cloud architectures
* Develop future-state network architecture recommendations that support resiliency, scalability, Zero Trust principles, and modernization objectives
* Produce authoritative network diagrams, dependency maps, technical reports, and executive-ready briefings
* Recommend tools, methodologies, and automation approaches for ongoing network discovery and enterprise network visibility
*Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities*
* Deep expertise in enterprise networking, including routing, switching, firewalls, load balancing, DNS, and segmentation
* Demonstrated experience performing hands-on network discovery in large-scale enterprise or federal environments
* Ability to interpret scan results, configuration data, and monitoring outputs to identify undocumented systems and operational risks
* Strong understanding of hybrid and cloud networking, including connectivity between on-prem environments and cloud platforms such as AWS or Azure
* Working knowledge of cybersecurity concepts as they apply to networks, including boundary protections, segmentation, identity integration, and traffic inspection
* Experience working with CMDB platforms (ServiceNow preferred), network monitoring tools, and discovery technologies
* Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate low-level technical data into enterprise-level views
* Ability to communicate effectively with engineers, security teams, and leadership
* Experience producing clear, authoritative diagrams and documentation that reflect *actual network behavior*, not theoretical designs
*Certifications (Preferred)*
* CCIE (Routing and Switching, Enterprise Infrastructure, or Security)
* CISSP
* CCSP
* Cloud certifications such as AWS or Azure (preferred but not required)
*Experience and Education*
* Ten or more years of experience in network architecture, network engineering, or infrastructure engineering roles
* Prior experience supporting federal or large enterprise environments is strongly preferred
* Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related technical discipline is preferred, or equivalent professional experience
Pay: $140,000.00 - $160,000.00 per year

* Health insurance
* Vision insurance
