Role Title : Practice Leader - Network Platforms & Observability.
Location : Bengaluru hybrid.
About the Role :
Virtuosic Tech is looking for an experienced Practice Leader - Network Platforms & Observability to establish and grow a combined consulting capability across enterprise networking, cloud connectivity, operational visibility, and reliability engineering. This is not a delivery management role; it is a consulting, solutioning, and capability-building role for someone who enjoys engaging enterprise customers, solving complex infrastructure and operational challenges, and building a modern consulting practice from the ground up.
The role will work closely with Enterprise Sales, Delivery, AI specialists, and other technology leaders to help customers design resilient, cloud-ready, secure, and observable platforms. The successful candidate will define how Virtuosic Tech approaches integrated network transformation and observability modernization rather than inheriting a mature practice.
Key Responsibilities :
- Serve as a trusted advisor to enterprise customers across network modernization, cloud networking, Zero Trust, observability strategy, and operational resilience.
- Lead discovery workshops, understand customer business priorities, and translate infrastructure and operations challenges into practical technology strategies and transformation roadmaps.
- Design modern enterprise architectures spanning campus, branch, data center, cloud networking, SD-WAN, hybrid connectivity, SASE, APM, distributed tracing, log analytics, OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes observability, cloud observability, and SRE practices.
- Develop executive-ready proposals, solution architectures, pursuit materials, and technical estimates in partnership with Enterprise Sales.
- Provide technical leadership across network and observability ecosystems,
guiding customers on architecture choices based on resilience, performance, operational efficiency, and business outcomes rather than vendor preference.
- Build the combined Network Platforms & Observability consulting capability, including methodologies, accelerators, reference architectures, assessment frameworks, and reusable consulting assets.
- Mentor consultants and architects, establish delivery guardrails, and support future hiring as the practice scales.
- Stay engaged during major programs to ensure architectural integrity, review solution decisions, and support teams through key transformation milestones.
Required Experience :
- 10 - 15 years of experience in enterprise networking, infrastructure consulting, cloud networking, observability engineering, SRE, platform engineering, or enterprise architecture.
- Strong background in consulting or professional services, especially in client-facing solutioning and transformation programs.
- Experience engaging senior customer stakeholders such as CIOs, CTOs, enterprise architects, and operations leaders.
- Proven strength in workshops, executive presentations, proposal development, and translating business challenges into architecture strategy.
Technical Expertise :
- Deep expertise in enterprise networking including SD-WAN, software-defined networking, hybrid connectivity, cloud networking, Zero Trust, SASE, network security, and infrastructure modernization.
- Robust expertise in observability and reliability disciplines including infrastructure monitoring, APM, tracing, logs, metrics, OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes observability, cloud-native monitoring, SRE, and AIOps.
- Hands-on familiarity with leading platforms such as Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Palo Alto, Fortinet, VMware NSX, Zscaler, Dynatrace, Datadog, Splunk Observability, New Relic, Grafana, Prometheus, Elastic, Azure Monitor, and AWS CloudWatch.
