Principal Network Architect
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like AI insights, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key sections:
- Description: includes "About Northern Trust" paragraph and description of role responsibilities.
We need to decide headings: "About the role" maybe for description of role. Could also have "Responsibilities". The posting includes responsibilities in description: "The Network Architect will serve as the subject matter expert..." etc. Could put under "Responsibilities". Also "Qualifications" section includes bullet list of qualifications. Also "Skills" maybe for technical skills. Also "Benefits" includes benefits description. Also "Pay" includes salary range. Also maybe "Work Authorization" but not a standard heading; we could fold into a short paragraph under "Requirements" or separate? The instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content. We can include "Work Authorization" as a short paragraph maybe under a heading like "Requirements"? But we have headings limited to given list. Could we add a custom heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings; not others. So we should stick to those. So we need to map content to those headings.
- About the role: could contain description of Northern Trust and role overview.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: maybe education and experience baseline.
- Qualifications: detailed qualifications list.
- Skills: maybe technical skills and soft skills.
- Benefits: benefits description.
- Pay: salary range.
- Schedule: not mentioned; we should not include.
We must not include empty sections.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: e.g., bullet points of qualifications, experience years, etc.
We need to format lists with - . For prose use
.
We need to remove boilerplate: AI insights lines, duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, application instructions. Also remove "Work Authorization" maybe? But it's substantive; we need to keep it. Since we don't have a heading for it, we could fold into a short
under maybe "Requirements" or "Qualifications". The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Work authorization is not minor metadata? It's a requirement. Could be placed under Requirements as a paragraph.
Similarly "Working with Us" etc maybe not needed? It's about culture; could be included under About the role maybe.
We need to preserve all substantive info; but we can combine.
Let's extract sections.
First, remove the AI insights lines at top and repeated.
The posting starts:
"The insights provided are generated by AI and may contain inaccuracies. Please independently verify any critical information before relying on it. Principal Network Architect The insights provided are generated by AI and may contain inaccuracies. Please independently verify any critical information before relying on it. Description About Northern Trust As a global leader..."
We need to drop the AI insights lines and duplicated. So start with "Description About Northern Trust". Actually "Description" maybe a heading but we ignore.
We'll produce:
About the role
As a global leader in innovative wealth management, asset servicing, asset management and banking services, Northern Trust (Nasdaq: NTRS) is proud to guide the world's most successful individuals, families, corporations and institutions. Since 1889, we have aligned our efforts with our three guiding Principles That Endure: Service, Expertise, and Integrity. Together, they reflect the three cornerstones of business conduct which we strive to instill in our employees, whom we call partners, and to provide to our clients and the communities we serve worldwide. With more than 135 years of financial experience and over 24,000 partners, we serve the world's most sophisticated clients using leading technology and exceptional service.
The Network Architect will serve as the subject matter expert for architecting and implementing Northern Trust's global network, including the applications and services that run on top of it. This role will engage with various stakeholders and application teams in a solution-design capacity to help bring conceptual designs into production. The position also requires the ability to lead and mentor team members in the design, support, and engineering of the network while working with operations teams to improve system availability and efficiency. The Network Architect will proactively research and evaluate tools, techniques, and technologies appropriate for the network environment while developing solutions to increase performance and availability, lower total cost of ownership, and modernize and transform network and service-delivery functions. This may include not only traditional network technologies, but also hosting strategies, resiliency and recovery strategies, security strategies, and data center and colocation strategies. The individual in this role is expected to stay abreast of industry trends, vendor offerings, technology innovation, and changing customer requirements to provide effective solutions aligned to business outcomes. The Network Architect will translate logical or conceptual designs into physical designs, accounting for requirements, target environments, processes, performance needs, existing systems and services, and non-functional requirements such as capacity, availability, and performance. These designs should align with modernization and transformation roadmaps and initiatives to move the enterprise in the right direction. The Network Architect provides technical design guidance and strategic leadership to engineering and application teams and acts as the ultimate escalation point for network issues. The Network Architect also serves as the technical escalation point of contact for infrastructure teams, application development teams, and leadership. This role will provide trouble resolution of the global network for escalated issues and may perform on-call duties and off-hours support when needed.
That covers About the role and responsibilities combined. But we need separate Responsibilities heading maybe. However we could put responsibilities under About the role; but instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine About the role and Responsibilities into one section? But they said use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. It's okay to have both if content exists. We have content for both. Let's split: About the role: company overview. Responsibilities: role duties.
Thus:

Now Requirements: maybe education baseline: Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, or the equivalent of a four-year accredited degree in a technical discipline. Also work authorization? Could include.
We'll put:
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, or the equivalent of a four-year accredited degree in a technical discipline.
- Applicants must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for employment-based visa sponsorship now or in the future. Northern Trust will not sponsor applicants for U.S. work visa status for this opportunity (no sponsorship is available for H-1B, L-1, TN, O-1, E-3, H-1B1, F-1, J-1, OPT, CPT or any other employment-based visa).
But the instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it. Work authorization is not minor metadata; it's a requirement. So okay.
Now Qualifications: the long list of experience years etc. We'll put as
- each bullet.
We need to preserve all details: "15+ years of experience managing and designing solutions within an IP network with a four-year Bachelor of Science degree, or 20+ years of relevant experience with IP networks and network services such as DNS, time services, NAC, security, IPS, load balancing, hosting, and data center strategies for colocation or data center migration." etc.
We'll break into items.
Let's extract qualifications paragraph:
"Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, or the equivalent of a four-year accredited degree in a technical discipline." (already in Requirements maybe duplicate; but we can keep in Qualifications as well? Might duplicate. Better to keep only in Requirements and not duplicate. But Qualifications section should contain the detailed qualifications list. The degree is also a qualification; but we already have it in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we could keep degree in Requirements and not repeat in Qualifications. However the qualifications list includes that line again; but we can omit duplicate to avoid redundancy. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we omit the degree line from Qualifications, we are still preserving it (in Requirements). That's okay.
Now list each qualification:
- 15+ years of experience managing and designing solutions within an IP network with a four-year Bachelor of Science degree, or 20+ years of relevant experience with IP networks and network services such as DNS, time services, NAC, security, IPS, load balancing, hosting, and data center strategies for colocation or data center migration.
- 10+ years of experience with routing protocols, including BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP.
- Experience with SD-WAN.
- 10+ years of experience with Layer 2 protocols, including vPC, data center zones, Spanning Tree, VRF, VTP, VLANs, and physical cabling.
- 10+ years of experience with WAN
