Infrastructure Architect This role sits within a large-scale technology transformation, focused on bringing structure, clarity and direction to infrastructure and security architecture. The environment has strong engineering capability but lacks cohesive architectural governance. You'll review existing systems, identify gaps, and introduce a more joined-up, secure-by-design approach across infrastructure and cloud. This is not an enterprise-level role. It's ideal for someone with early architecture experience (or a senior engineer stepping up) who wants to influence design, shape standards and grow their architectural impact. Key Responsibilities Review current infrastructure and designs, identifying gaps and improvements Introduce architectural governance and improve documentation and mapping Layer security architecture across infrastructure (network, identity, endpoints, data) Support and shape Azure-led cloud architecture in a cloud-first environment Drive principles around zero trust, identity security and segmentation Work across business, data, application and infrastructure teams to align architecture Provide clear designs, diagrams and practical recommendations Act as a knowledge lead, influencing direction without direct reports Skills & Experience Background in infrastructure, security engineering or early architecture Strong understanding of networking, virtualisation, compute and cloud (Azure preferred) Exposure to security architecture concepts (zero trust, IAM, segmentation) Ability to review and produce technical designs and documentation Strong communication skills and ability to work across teams Experience in regulated environments beneficial This is an opportunity to define architecture rather than inherit it. You'll shape secure, scalable platforms from the ground up, balancing strategic oversight with hands-on influence, and leaving a clear architectural fingerprint across the organisation's technology landscape.
