About CirrusHQCirrusHQ is an AWS Premier Partner on a strong growth trajectory. We partner with organisations across the Public Sector, Education, and Private Sector to design, build, migrate, and support cloud infrastructure that genuinely moves the needle for our customers. We're looking for a Solutions Architect to join our team - someone who thrives on variety, takes ownership, and loves turning complex problems into elegant cloud solutions. About the Role:No two weeks look the same here. One month you might be designing automated exam environments for an education provider; the next, building a virtual classroom that streams applications to students across the globe, or helping a university digitise a museum collection. We've even supported projects collecting climate data from the stratosphere. As a Solutions Architect, you'll own the full project lifecycle - from the first scoping call with a customer through to final sign-off. In this hands-on role, you'll lead architectural design, write Statements of Work, and work directly alongside a team of Cloud Engineers to deliver to the highest standards, on time and within budget. The AWS Well-Architected Framework isn't an afterthought here - it's built into everything we do. You'll also play a key role in growing the team around you: unblocking problems, sharing knowledge, and collaborating with the Head of Technical Operations to improve the processes and automation that underpin our delivery. This is a fully remote role based in the UK, with travel to customers and events as needed.
