About the Role We are supporting a leading financial institution in the search for a highly experienced Network Architect to define, modernize, and shape the future-state vision of their enterprise and data centre networks.
This is a senior individual contributor role focused on high-level design, architectural governance, and long-term network strategy, ideal for someone who brings deep technical acumen and thrives in complex, enterprise-scale environments.
You will partner closely with engineering, operations, and security teams to uplift legacy designs, standardize network frameworks, and build the foundations for future automation and 24/7 trading operations.

What You'll Do Architecture & Design
  • Develop end-to-end high-level designs (HLDs), architectural diagrams, and routing strategies
  • Modernize and uplift legacy network designs into scalable, future-proof architectures
  • Shape technical direction through expert requirement gathering and solution scoping
Standards & Governance
  • Build and maintain enterprise-wide network standards and frameworks
  • Define DNS, IPAM, segmentation, and routing models that guide engineering execution
  • Ensure compliance with regulatory and security requirements
Automation & Enablement
  • Create architecture patterns to support automated network deployments
  • Reduce manual workload via standard templates and scalable design patterns
  • Work alongside engineering teams to ensure smooth adoption of standards
Strategic Road-mapping
  • Define a 10-year network architecture roadmap, aligning with business and trading expansion
  • Architect solutions to support 24-hour trading, high-availability requirements, and future cloud integration
Stakeholder Engagement
  • Act as a senior SME across the organization
  • Partner with engineering, operations, security, and vendor teams
  • Own design-heavy responsibilities to relieve workload from the existing team
What We're Looking For
  • 15+ years in network engineering, design, and architecture
  • Strong experience within financial services (exchange, banking, trading environments)
  • Deep expertise in data centre and enterprise-scale networks
  • Certifications: CCIE or CCNP highly preferred
  • Strong communication skills and ability to influence senior stakeholders
  • Proven ability to work independently at an architectural leadership level
  • Cantonese fluency
