We’re hiring: Data & AI Architect | UK Wide | Up to £85,000
Are you an experienced Data & AI Architect who wants to do more than simply design solutions?
This is an opportunity to join a growing Microsoft Solutions Partner with ambitious plans for Data & AI - and play a genuinely influential role in shaping what comes next.
The business helps organisations harness Cloud, Data, Security and AI to transform how they operate and grow. Its focus is on designing and delivering modern Microsoft technology solutions that enable customers to become secure, data-driven and AI-enabled enterprises.
The opportunity
As Data & AI Architect, you’ll sit at the intersection of strategy, architecture, consulting and innovation.
You’ll work directly with customers to understand their ambitions, lead discovery and envisioning sessions, define Data & AI roadmaps, and architect enterprise-scale solutions on Microsoft Azure. But this role goes further than customer delivery.
You’ll also have the opportunity to help shape and grow a Data & AI practice - developing new offerings and accelerators, establishing architectural standards, mentoring technical teams, supporting strategic opportunities and working closely with Microsoft.
What you’ll be doing
- Architect modern, enterprise-scale Data & AI platforms on Microsoft Azure
- Lead customer discovery workshops, architecture reviews and strategic advisory engagements
- Design solutions using Microsoft Fabric, Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake, Microsoft Purview, Synapse Analytics and Power BI
- Build AI-ready data platforms supporting analytics, machine learning and Generative AI
- Architect solutions using Azure AI Services, Microsoft Foundry, Copilot Studio and Azure OpenAI
- Design RAG architectures, knowledge discovery solutions and intelligent applications
- Champion Responsible AI, governance, security and architectural best practice
- Mentor consultants, engineers and architects
- Support pre-sales, proposals, solution estimates and customer business cases
- Help create repeatable Data & AI services and accelerators as the practice grows
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll bring significant experience designing and delivering modern Azure-based Data & AI platforms, ideally within consulting, professional services or another customer-facing technology environment.
We’re particularly interested in people who can combine deep technical credibility with strong customer engagement skills - someone equally comfortable discussing architecture with engineering teams, facilitating a strategy workshop, or presenting a transformation roadmap to senior stakeholders.
Experience with Microsoft Fabric and/or Azure Databricks, Azure data platform architecture and modern data platform delivery is particularly important. Broader experience across Power BI, Purview, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Services, RAG, Lakehouse architectures, Python/C#, DevOps and Infrastructure as Code would be highly valuable.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Why join?
This is a chance to join an ambitious organisation where Data & AI is a strategic growth area, rather than simply another technical capability.
You’ll have the autonomy to influence strategy, create new solutions, work with leading Microsoft technologies and help customers become modern AI-enabled enterprises - while developing your own career alongside an experienced and collaborative team.
The wider package includes professional development and Microsoft certification support, flexible/home-based working, private medical insurance, wellbeing and income protection benefits, pension, lifestyle benefits and regular company events.

Location: UK wide — hybrid if within commuting distance of the Glasgow office, otherwise home-based, with travel to customer sites when required
Employment: Permanent | Full Time
Right to work: Applicants must have the right to work in the UK
Interested in helping shape the next generation of Data & AI solutions? We’d love to hear from you.
