Job description

What you'll be doing As a Senior Infrastructure Architect, you will work directly with customers to design infrastructure and cloud solutions that make technical and commercial sense. You'll own solution direction, produce clear HLDs and LLDs, and stay close to delivery to ensure designs translate into real-world outcomes.

  • Azure and AWS as preferred cloud platforms
  • Virtualisation and hosted desktop technologies
  • Windows-based infrastructure and identity services
  • Messaging and collaboration platforms
  • Security, resilience, performance, and scalability

Given the MSP client base, the successful Senior Infrastructure Architect must be confident modernising mixed estates while supporting business-critical legacy systems.

Requirements

  • Strong experience producing high-quality HLDs and LLDs
  • Clear commercial awareness and comfort with design trade-offs
  • Confident presenting solutions to non-technical stakeholders
  • Background in an MSP or client consultancy environment

Benefits & conditions

  • £80,000-£110,000 base salary (DOE)
  • 10% annual bonus
  • Family private healthcare
  • Flexible and hybrid working
  • 25 days holiday
  • Training and long-term progression
