Job description
Lincoln Freedom Group, LLC is hiring a Senior Network Architect on behalf of a growing client expanding into multiple new markets. This is a full-time 1099 contract role (40 hours/week) for someone who can bridge the gap between business requirements and network infrastructure.
What You’ll Do: You’ll own the high-level network design process – gathering requirements from business stakeholders, translating them into technical architecture, and creating detailed specifications for implementation teams. You’ll work alongside Principal Engineers and Product Owners, writing Jira stories that task out developers on specific network objectives. This isn’t a hands‑on‑keyboard implementation role; it’s about strategic thinking and clear technical communication.
The Environment: Our client operates their own datacenters and networks (no cloud providers). You’ll primarily work with Cisco and Juniper equipment across DIA, EVPL, VOIP, and FTTH deployments. The team is self‑driven with hands‑off management – perfect for high achievers who thrive with autonomy. Your co‑workers are laid back, highly skilled, and collaborative.
What We’re Looking For:
Deep networking expertise and ability to design at scale
Python familiarity (reading/understanding, not necessarily development)
Metaswitch experience would be a huge bonus
Strong requirements gathering and stakeholder communication skills
Experience translating business needs into technical specifications
Ability to work independently and drive projects forward
Title and Structure: You’ll be the only Architect on the team, working collaboratively with Principal Engineers and Product Owners who respect expertise and value clear communication.
Compensation: Rate is negotiable based on experience. Submit your proposed hourly rate with your application.
To Apply: Send your resume to Please include a cover letter explaining why you’re interested in this specific role and what qualities would make you a strong fit.
