Solution Architect - WAN

We’re seeking a highly skilled Solutions Architect with a focus on WAN technologies to join our dynamic WAN product team within the Network Services Product Area at Sandvik Group IT.
This is a critical role in developing robust network solutions that drive efficiency and support our internal customers to achieve their strategic objectives. We’re excited to meet you!
Your mission
In this role, you’re responsible for leading and coordinating the technological development of our WAN Product, which provides robust network solutions for our internal customers. You propose and implement improvements and changes to the existing solution architecture, investigate emerging technologies and develop a technology roadmap that’s aligned with our Product Area.
By working closely with the WAN Product Team and other stakeholders, you create feasible technical solutions that meet business needs and expectations. As the first point of contact for solution design, you collaborate with external suppliers, vendors and integrators, as well as evaluate changes in existing and new solutions, manage the lifecycle of products, and validate the quality and design of solutions suggested by suppliers.
The location for this position is at our site Gasverket in Stockholm. We offer a hybrid work solution with a mix of office and remote work.
Your profile
We’re looking for a business-oriented Solution Architect with extensive expertise in IT Communication for applications, services, and cloud solutions, including good knowledge of the IT-communication market. With your previous experience with the HPE/Aruba technology platform for EdgeConnect/SDWAN, you have solid knowledge of network infrastructure, including SDWAN, MPLS, VPN, and additional overlay technologies. We believe that your knowledge is backed by a relevant university degree in IT, or equivalent experience gained from work. Acting in a truly global environment calls for excellent English skills, verbally and in writing. Knowledge in Swedish is considered a plus.
With your effective communication skills, you easily transmit complex technical concepts to a non-IT-technical audience. You’re business oriented and have an analytical mindset, tools that help you create an overall view and at the same time spot the important details. Being a true team player with good leadership skills, you’re a firm believer in sharing best practices.
Our culture
At Sandvik, we’re tech driven, innovative and entrepreneurial. We believe that success is a team effort so we value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive culture where people can be themselves and reach their full potential.
