About the Role
A leading consultancy requires a Solutions Architect to play a strategic and hands-on role in the design, development, and governance of its enterprise infrastructure solutions - across on-premises, hybrid, and private cloud environments. The successful candidate will define scalable, resilient, and supportable infrastructure architectures that meet both operational and business requirements.
Responsibilities
- Produce high-level and low-level infrastructure designs (HLDs and LLDs) across various environments, ensuring alignment with business, operational, and technical requirements.
- Define and maintain enterprise infrastructure standards, reference architectures, and design principles covering compute, storage, networking, virtualisation, and hybrid integration.
- Lead technical discovery activities to assess existing infrastructure environments, identify technical debt, dependencies, and opportunities for modernisation.
- Translate business requirements into scalable and resilient infrastructure designs in collaboration with project managers, architects, and technical teams.
- Provide architectural governance across the project lifecycle, ensuring solutions are reviewed and aligned to enterprise standards and technical direction.
- Evaluate infrastructure technologies and architectural options, producing recommendations that balance performance, resilience, maintainability, cost, and operational impact.
- Define infrastructure migration strategies, including workload placement, phased transition approaches, rollback planning, and service continuity considerations.
- Produce and maintain architecture documentation, including HLDs, LLDs, reference architectures, and standards.
- Identify, assess, and manage technical risks, assumptions, constraints, and dependencies throughout project delivery, ensuring appropriate mitigation strategies are defined.
- Provide technical leadership and design assurance during implementation, ensuring delivered solutions remain aligned to the approved architecture.
