Design the future of cloud technology. Shape secure, scalable solutions. Join us as a Cloud Solutions Technical Architect!
We’re looking for an experienced Cloud Solutions Technical Architect to design and deliver secure, scalable, and resilient cloud solutions that support business transformation. Working closely with customers, technical teams, and stakeholders, you’ll translate business requirements into practical cloud architectures across infrastructure, applications, data, security, and managed services.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative, technology-focused team where your expertise will help shape cloud strategies, optimise customer environments, and deliver measurable business value.
Key Responsibilities
- Design end-to-end cloud solutions aligned with business, technical, security, and operational requirements.
- Develop cloud architecture strategies, roadmaps, high-level designs, and detailed technical specifications.
- Architect solutions across public, private, and hybrid cloud environments.
- Work with Microsoft Azure and related cloud technologies to deliver secure and scalable solutions.
- Assess existing IT environments and recommend cloud migration, modernisation, and optimisation strategies.
- Lead technical discovery workshops and translate customer requirements into appropriate solution designs.
- Produce architecture documentation, diagrams, statements of work, and technical proposals.
- Ensure solutions meet requirements for security, availability, performance, resilience, compliance, and cost efficiency.
- Collaborate with sales, consulting, project delivery, service management, and engineering teams.
- Provide technical leadership throughout the solution lifecycle, from pre-sales and design through to implementation and transition into service.
- Support the development of cloud governance, standards, reference architectures, and best practice.
- Identify risks, dependencies, and opportunities for continuous improvement.
- Present complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
