We are looking for experienced AWS Cloud Architects to join a growing Technology Consulting practice delivering transformational cloud programmes for public sector and highly regulated organisations across the UK.
This role combines hands-on architecture with a consultative approach. You will work closely with clients to understand their challenges, define future-state cloud strategies and lead the design of modern AWS-based solutions.

- Design secure, scalable and resilient cloud architectures on AWS.
- Support clients in migrating and modernising legacy on-premise environments.
- Define target architectures, technology roadmaps and platform strategies aligned to business objectives.
- Provide architectural leadership across cloud transformation programmes.
- Advise stakeholders on cloud best practices, governance and security controls.
- Work with engineering teams to implement cloud-native platforms using Infrastructure as Code and DevOps practices.
- Lead technical workstreams and mentor engineers and junior consultants.
- Support cloud cost optimisation initiatives and FinOps practices.
- Assess, stabilise and modernise complex or poorly managed AWS environments.
- Build strong client relationships and act as a trusted technology advisor.
