Shape the Future of Cloud and Data Architecture
What if your next architecture role gave you the opportunity to influence technology strategy, modernise critical platforms and drive large-scale digital transformation?
We're partnering with a UK-wide, publicly funded organisation supporting the agriculture and food sector, helping improve industry competitiveness, sustainability and productivity through research, insight and market development.
As part of a significant investment in digital and data capabilities, they're looking for a Cloud Solution Architect to play a key role in shaping the future of their technology landscape. This is an opportunity to influence major architectural decisions, define cloud and data platform strategy, and help deliver solutions that create tangible impact across a sector that underpins the UK's economy.
This role offers a rare combination of strategic influence, technical leadership and hands-on architectural ownership.
The Opportunity
You'll sit at the heart of an ambitious transformation programme, working across cloud, data, integration and modernisation initiatives.
Working closely with business leaders, delivery teams and technology partners, you'll help define the architectural vision, establish best practice and ensure technology investments deliver long-term value.
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.

- Lead the design of secure, scalable and future-ready cloud and data platform solutions.
- Shape technology roadmaps, architecture standards and reusable design patterns.
- Influence critical technology decisions across a complex digital estate.
- Drive cloud adoption, automation, interoperability and data accessibility.
- Support the modernisation and integration of legacy platforms and applications.
- Provide architectural leadership across multiple programmes and projects.
- Act as a trusted advisor to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Champion innovation, collaboration and architectural excellence.
What They're Looking For
We're keen to speak with experienced architects who combine strong cloud expertise with a passion for designing modern, data-driven platforms.
You'll likely bring:
- Proven experience leading solution architecture and cloud transformation initiatives within complex organisations.
- Strong Microsoft Azure expertise and experience designing cloud-native solutions.
- Experience architecting modern data platforms, integration solutions and governance frameworks.
- A track record of delivering solutions from discovery and design through to implementation and live service.

- Experience establishing architecture standards, governance processes and technical best practice.
- Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IaC), automation, data ingestion and modern interoperability approaches.

- 35-hour working week
- Generous annual leave allowance
- Market-leading pension scheme
- Life assurance
- Enhanced family leave policies
