As Network Architecture Lead you will have ultimate architectural oversight and long-term design direction for QRT's trading and enterprise networks. Working closely with the global network team, you will help define and document the long-term design direction for QRT's trading and enterprise network globally. Key to the role will be collaborating with the team to defining practical standards and ensuring designs are scalable, supportable, instrumented, and aligned with business requirements. Success in this role means establishing a clear, network-wide architectural direction, with teams consistently applying agreed and documented standards rather than developing isolated or site-specific solutions.
