Sr. Network Solutions Architect (Pre-Sales) - West Coast

About the role

The Redesign Group is a global technology solutions consulting firm helping organizations modernize, secure, and scale mission-critical IT infrastructure. We are expanding our Architecture practice and seeking a Senior Network Solutions Architect to lead enterprise pre-sales engagements focused on data center modernization, secure networking, and hybrid cloud integration.

This role is designed for a senior architect with deep on-premises infrastructure expertise — networking, compute, storage, and security — who can bridge traditional enterprise environments with modern hybrid and cloud-connected architectures. You will partner with Sales, Engineering, and OEM teams to design scalable, secure, and resilient solutions that modernize core infrastructure while enabling long-term cloud and automation strategies.

Candidates must live on the West Coast (CA, WA, OR, NV, or AZ). This role requires regular in-person meetings with the sales team and clients at customer sites.
