Croydon, London
Role Title: Technical Architect Duration: contract to run until 30/09/2026 Location: Croydon, Remote with occasional need to be onsite Rate: up to 518.54 p/d Umbrella inside IR35 Clearance required: Active SC Clearance is required Role purpose / summary Solution Architects are required for one of the largest AWS based developer platforms in the UK, which supports 100+ teams and runs multiple critical workloads. The work our architect's take on is split into three key areas. Firstly, architects pick up new requirements from our teams, understand their needs, proposing options and getting the design governed and into delivery teams. Due to the scale of the platform, solutions often touch multiple areas and close working with other architects is essential to ensure 'tribal knowledge' is exploited. The second area is supporting teams with delivery and service. Inevitably delivery teams encounter problems in delivering against the roadmap or with incidents that need architect support to analyse and resolve. Lastly, architects work on longer term strategies or ad hoc pieces of work delegated by the Senior Management Team. Key Skills and Experience Mandatory: Strong understanding of core AWS services; VPCs, subnets, EC2, lambda, s3, route 53, VPC endpoints Good understanding of networking - TCP/IP, DNS, routing, proxy patterns Good understanding of containers and Kubernetes (does not require detailed Kubernetes knowledge, more the broad architecture) Design documentation skills Influencing, negotiating & pragmatism - getting designs through assurance processes Problem solving and options analysis Evidence based decision making Excellent communication skills, ranging from getting a junior engineer's input into a design to explaining a complex technical issue to a senior leader Optional: Our architects work across a wide range of technologies and as such are expected to be able to quickly learn and adapt to unfamiliar tools. Whilst not essential, it is desirable architects have expertise in the following; Elasticsearch Stack Dynatrace Prometheus & Grafana AWS EKS & KOPS Hashicorp Consul/ Vault VPNs - e.g. OpenVPN, Fortigate site to site VPNs Atlassian tooling - e.g. Bitbucket, confluence, JIRA, Crowd AWS Workspaces LDAP Redhat SSO & OIDC Firewalling technologies - e.g. AWS Network Firewall, Fortigate Proxy Servers - e.g. nginx, openresty, squid, fortiweb DevOps - e.g. Terraform, Concourse, Sonarqube Transit Gateway All profiles will be reviewed against the required skills and experience. Due to the high number of applications we will only be able to respond to successful applicants in the first instance. We thank you for your interest and the time taken to apply!
