Senior Cloud Architect (Technical)

We are experts in building central cloud platforms, cloud risk mitigation and cloud operating models; providing thought leadership to central government and private enterprise organisations to help them unlock the true value of cloud.

At Cloudscaler, you'll be part of a consultancy at the forefront of cloud transformation, trusted by government, defence, and enterprise organisations to deliver complex AWS solutions that make a real national impact. From modernising public services to securing critical infrastructure, the work you do will matter far beyond technology.

We combine the agility of a startup with the credibility of an AWS Advanced Partner, creating a high-trust, high-performance culture where self-starters thrive and every voice is heard. You'll work closely with senior leadership and cloud experts, shaping meaningful projects and driving innovation.
