Solution Architect - Innovation & Digital £84,000 (inc. cash allowance) + enhanced holiday + private medical Hybrid - typically 1-2 days per month in the office I'm working with a client of ours who are a well-established UK organisation investing heavily in their Innovation & Digital capability. This isn't a traditional architecture role sitting in governance or platform. This is greenfield. Experimentation. Prototyping. Turning ideas into real, live digital products that the business actually uses. You'll sit within a forward-thinking Architecture function that looks after products - not waterfall programmes, not static platforms - but genuine innovation. Around 30% of your time will be in the innovation labs space, working with stakeholders to shape ideas, challenge thinking, and build proof of concepts. Another 30% will see you taking the best of those ideas into full builds, working closely with agile development squads to get them over the line. This is as much about communication and influence as it is technical design. You'll be expected to challenge the business (constructively), articulate ideas clearly, and translate complex technical thinking into something commercial leaders can genuinely understand. They're doing some exciting things in the AI space too - from building their own secure internal chat capability through to AI-driven, compliance-focused transformation products. Gen AI is a big part of the experimentation pipeline, so whether you've delivered AI projects already or you have a solid grasp of the principles and infrastructure behind it, that curiosity and understanding is important. What you'll be doing You'll be at the front end of innovation - taking problem statements from across the business and turning them into tangible prototypes, MVPs and scalable digital products. You'll design and lead technical solutions in a cloud-first environment, collaborate with architects and engineers to ensure alignment to enterprise strategy, and stay hands-on enough to validate ideas quickly. You'll also stay involved post go-live - consulting with product teams to ensure what's been built is adopted, maintained and evolved properly. This isn't "design it and disappear". It's proper ownership. In your first year, the expectation is that you'll fully understand the business streams you support - both technically and commercially - becoming a trusted voice in that space. What they're looking for Experience as a Solution Architect or Technical Architect (or a Lead / Senior Developer who has stepped into architecture) Strong background in cloud solutions - AWS or Azure, they're flexible Proven experience delivering greenfield work, proof of concepts and MVPs Comfortable working in agile product environments Exposure to AI / Gen AI projects or a strong understanding of the principles Able to design compliant, production-ready solutions Strong stakeholder engagement skills - able to challenge and influence Confident presenting technical designs to both technical and non-technical audiences Creative mindset - enjoys experimenting and trying new approaches You don't need to be an Enterprise Architect living in governance frameworks all day. They want someone pragmatic, technically credible, and commercially aware. Someone who enjoys getting stuck in. The environment £84,000 Enhanced holiday - 28 days plus holidays Private medical Flexible hybrid working - typically twice a month in the office Core 9-5 but flexibility around start / finish times A mature team who trust people to manage their time The interview process is two stages - an initial Teams conversation with the Architecture leadership, followed by an in-person presentation where you'll design a solution and walk them through your thinking. Communication is absolutely key here. If you enjoy greenfield architecture, experimenting with AI and emerging tech, and working in an environment where you can genuinely influence the direction of digital products - this is well worth a conversation.

SQL Server and Infrastructure Engineer Northampton (Rural High-Tech Site) Full Time Permanent Office Based The Opportunity My client is a UK based innovator in advanced security and intelligence technology, designing and manufacturing products that are trusted by law enforcement and government agencies around the world. From Technical Surveillance Counter Measures (TSCM) and lawful interception to border security and specialist training, they deliver mission-critical solutions with precision and integrity. Their products have recently been recognised with a prestigious international industry award at a major counterespionage conference in the US. These are people at the very top of their field. They are now looking for a Database and Infrastructure Engineer to join their team at their rural high-tech headquarters near Northampton. This is a unique role that bridges Database Administration and Systems Engineering, built for someone who thrives on variety, ownership and real technical challenge. Please note this is a fully office based position and due to the rural location your own transport is essential. The Role You'll be responsible for the heartbeat of their customer platforms, keeping complex, high-availability systems running 24/7 for clients who simply cannot afford downtime. This is far more than a maintenance position. You'll be optimising performance, designing resilient architectures, and on occasion travelling internationally to support client deployments. Key Responsibilities Database Mastery: Performance-tuning and maintaining Microsoft SQL Server (Availability Groups and Replication), ensuring rock-solid reliability across all environments. Infrastructure Resilience: Configuring firewalls, VPNs and networking to deliver seamless, secure connectivity at all times. Virtualisation: Managing vCenter and vSphere environments that host mission-critical applications.

Best Practice: Documenting processes and maintaining a standard of excellence across every deployment. What They're Looking For You're a pragmatic problem-solver who enjoys the variety of managing both the data and the infrastructure it lives on. You don't need to be handed a task list. You spot what needs doing and you get on with it. Essential Experience Strong proficiency in Microsoft SQL Server and preferably, but not essentially, also MySQL, with solid High Availability knowledge including Clusters, Replication and Galera. A firm understanding of networking and security (firewalls, VPN configuration), hands-on VMware experience (vSphere and vCenter), and a full UK driving licence. As the site is rurally located, your own transport is a must. Nice to Have Exposure to Neo4J or cloud technologies, knowledge of Linux (Ubuntu) and Active Directory, an interest in IoT protocols such as MQTT or LoRaWAN, IP camera systems, or experience delivering technical training to non-technical audiences. Why This Role? This is an environment where innovation is genuinely rewarded and your contribution is visible. The package reflects that. Reward: Competitive salary plus a Class A share reward scheme for exceptional contributors, company pension and financial planning services. Growth: Structured mentoring and a clear pathway into broader Cyber Security or Lead Infrastructure roles. Culture: A collaborative, open-door team where your voice carries real weight, built on three simple values: collaborative, supportive, innovative. Wellbeing: Health and wellbeing programme and free on-site parking. Purpose: You'll be working on award-winning, UK-designed products that have a genuine real-world impact on global security. Secure Today. Protect Tomorrow. Next Steps If you're looking for more variety, more responsibility and more meaning than a standard DBA or SysAdmin role can offer, we'd love to hear from you.

I was confusing this with PDE role as I am working on that in parallel. Hope this makes sense now. data solutions rather than architectures? Should add Python here as a key tech we use Have mentioned Python in 'Minimum Criteria' section below, but will add here too this could be added to Essential Criteria ? stakeholder and project management ? Have updated in essential criteria below. But I have now used the previous version to create requisition in OBS. Will see if it can be changed. What is the difference between "minimum" and "essential" criteria. Both imply that they are mandatory and so could be one list? This is a bit confusing. I used to have just one, but this is the standard format of JD that the Bank wants us to follow. Here is the difference: Min Criteria: This must list the minimum technical skills/experience/qualifications required to do the job and should be measurable/scoreable. The screening questions you select must link to these, in order to allow candidates to best demonstrate their suitability for the role. Essential: This lists other important technical skills/experience/qualifications, and also more behavioural competencies. These are ones that are better assessed at interview rather than on screening questions on the application form Ok, I think we could go back and ask HR about this as it does seem confusing and to me doesn't give a good impression of the Bank to applicants at it looks like 2 lists for the same thing. I had checked this earlier, but seems they want us to follow this format. When I advertised last time, I just mentioned Minimum Criteria, but they said it has to be split into Minimum and Essential. Don't think we need to mention Atlas or Cloudera Manager as we hardly ever use those. Airflow could be useful so would leave that in.
