The Opportunity
An established enterprise organisation is looking for a Platform Architect to take ownership of several core infrastructure platforms across the business. This role sits between architecture and engineering, making it ideal for a senior infrastructure professional looking to move into a more strategic position while remaining close to technology. You'll be responsible for the technical direction, improvement, and ongoing development of key platforms including Microsoft 365, Virtualisation, Networking, and Cloud services.
Working closely with infrastructure teams, security, and business stakeholders, you'll help shape future technology decisions, support ongoing projects, and ensure platforms remain secure, stable, and fit for purpose.
Responsibilities
- Own the technical roadmap for core infrastructure platforms.
- Provide architectural guidance across cloud, networking, virtualisation, and Microsoft 365 environments.
- Produce high and low-level designs for infrastructure projects.
- Work with technical teams to ensure solutions are delivered in line with best practice.
- Identify opportunities for platform improvement and modernisation.
- Support cloud migration and infrastructure transformation initiatives.
- Ensure infrastructure platforms remain secure, resilient, and scalable.
- Act as a technical escalation point for complex platform-related issues.
- Collaborate with vendors and third-party suppliers where required.
