You'll help set the technical patterns Logiq uses for AI delivery, platform engineering, observability, and secure by default cloud implementations, while leading small engineering teams and supporting clients through delivery and change. Expect variety: one week you may be shaping a reference architecture and delivery plan; the next you're implementing CI/CD, shipping a containerised service to AKS/EKS, hardening identity and network controls, and instrumenting logs/metrics/tracing so the system is supportable in the real world. Logiq's Architecture Practice brings together highly experienced technologists and IT professionals with a passion for delivering complex solutions that drive tangible uplifts in capability for clients and their users. We specialise in Enterprise and Solution Architecture, AI Systems Architecture, Systems Engineering, Service Management and DevOps, to build highly effective teams tailored to the problem space and requirements. As part of the Secure Systems Team, you'll have the opportunity to: Develop solutions for complex and unique operating environments Adapt leading edge technology solutions for novel and challenging use cases Build effective multi discipline teams capable of delivering to the highest assurance levels Key Reponsibilities Solution Design: Develop scalable, secure architectures for cloud and hybrid environments, translating business needs into actionable designs, incorporating security best practices from day one. Hands On Delivery: Prototype, integrate, and deploy solutions using Python, Terraform, GitHub/Gitlab, docker, Kubernetes and other modern cloud native tools. Technical Leadership: Lead technical delivery teams, mentor junior engineers, and ensure quality across design and implementation. System Hardening: Implement secure by design configurations across cloud and hybrid environments, applying hardened baselines, enforcing least privilege access, and ensuring environments are resilient against threats through proactive security controls, monitoring, and continuous optimisation. Client Engagement: Build trusted relationships, gather requirements, and present solutions that deliver measurable value. Continuous Improvement: Drive innovation through proof of concepts, experimentation, and adoption of best practices.
