Here's the challenge. Are you ready to take it on?

We are looking for a Network & Infrastructure Architect to support the redesign of a hybrid network landscape for a major client. You will work closely with the internal Network Architect to shape the future architecture, covering both cloud (primarily Azure, some AWS) and on-premise components (managed by an external supplier).

Your responsibilities will include:

- Assessing the current infrastructure and defining requirements for a future-proof hybrid network
- Collaborating with the internal architect to drive the network redesign
- Interacting with external vendors and suppliers to align on technical expectations and delivery
- Identifying the appropriate network technologies and security standards to implement
- Playing a key role in the implementation phase and ensuring best practices are applied

Here's our wishlist for the ideal candidate:

Must-have skills:
- At least 5 years of experience as a Network & Infrastructure Architect
- 10+ years in IT, ideally in complex and large enterprise environments
- Proven ability to lead architecture redesigns independently, from concept to implementation
- Hands-on understanding of hybrid networks: Azure (main), AWS, and on-premise setups
- Strong knowledge of zero-trust networking principles, ideally with real-world experience across specific tools and frameworks
- Comfortable working in less mature or evolving IT environments
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Fluent in French and/or Dutch, and English

Nice to have:
- Experience in working with external suppliers or managed service providers
- Background in enterprise-level security frameworks and network performance optimization
