Role Overview
This is a fantastic opportunity to join our growing cloud engineering team. We are looking for passionate and experienced Cloud Systems Architects who are keen to be part of our award winning multi-disciplinary delivery teams, working closely with software engineers, product owners, platform engineers, testers and a variety of other stakeholders.
We want you to bring your experience and passion for cloud architecture to help us build best practices and deliver innovative solutions for our clients. You'll be working across one or two accounts, driving the technical vision for a solution and supporting the teams to ensure we are delivering exceptional digital products.
The projects and technologies you work on will vary by client, but often include things like microservices, containerisation, serverless, service buses, infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD pipelines, cloud security, AI and other interesting tech.
These are mainly cloud-based, with a focus on the Microsoft Azure stack, though we work across AWS and hybrid environments too. Working with multiple clients over time has the great benefit that you will get to experience a variety of technologies, as well as ways of working, standards, documentation styles and people, which helps make this an interesting and challenging role.
Key Responsibilities
As the Cloud Solutions Architect, you will own the technical vision for your accounts and take accountability for the solutions your teams deliver. The exact mix of work shifts with each client, but your responsibilities typically include:
