Senior Azure Architect

Senior Cloud Solutions Architect - Azure

Why This Role?

Take technical ownership of complex cloud solutions across customer opportunities, bids and live delivery engagements. You'll shape secure, scalable and commercially viable Azure and AWS solutions, taking them from early-stage architecture through to delivery assurance.

This is a highly customer-facing role where you'll influence technical direction, solve complex architecture challenges and help turn ambitious cloud transformation requirements into solutions that engineering teams can successfully deliver.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

You'll work across the full architecture lifecycle rather than being limited to either presales or delivery. That means shaping solutions during customer engagements, influencing bids and RFPs, establishing architectural direction and then helping ensure the resulting solution remains technically sound through delivery.

You'll also have scope to influence reusable architecture patterns and standards, mentor other architects and work across areas including cloud migration, modernisation, cloud-native architecture, landing zones, platform engineering, security, governance and FinOps

What We're Looking For

Essential

Desirable

The corresponding role documentation likewise treats Azure/AWS, enterprise-scale cloud delivery and architecture experience as central, with TOGAF, security, FinOps and cloud-governance credentials adding value.
