SC Technical Architect CGEMJP

Role Title: Technical ArchitectDuration: contract to run until 30/09/2026Location: Croydon, Remote with occasional need to be onsiteRate: up to 518.54 p/d Umbrella inside IR35Clearance required: Active SC Clearance is requiredRole purpose / summarySolution 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 ExperienceMandatory:

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
