## Description

If you are passionate about data centres and on-premises infrastructure, enjoy assisting clients in overcoming their business challenges, possess a strong work ethic, and find joy in learning new things, this role is perfect for you. You will have the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, many of whom currently seek our assistance with enterprise technology transformation, automation, and on-premises infrastructure. Your role will involve guiding them through the intricacies of these new technological landscapes.

The primary objective of this role is to comprehend a client's existing business challenges and develop a detailed technical solution to address them. Engaging with clients and prospects, you will generate positive interest in the solutions we provide, emphasising the significant business benefits derived from these investments.

You will be part of an exceptional team consisting of highly skilled Solutions Architects and Engineers. These individuals not only deliver challenging projects but also organise and attend meetups, speak at conferences, and are well-respected peers in the industry. Our team is passionate about cloud, data centres, automation, and AI.

As a Data Centre Solutions Architect, you will be involved in various scenarios focused on designing, implementing, and optimising on-premises infrastructure to meet clients' goals . You will collaborate directly with clients and clearly capture their requirements and articulate solutions and business value through detailed, clear, and concise client facing documentation. Here are some common scenarios and responsibilities you might encounter:

 * Clients need to modernise their data centre network infrastructure: You will design seamless migration strategies, champion the move to modern network architectures (such as Software-Defined Networking, spine-leaf topologies, and Cisco ACI), and ensure secure, high-performance, and resilient connectivity across all data centre environments.
 * Clients are struggling with manual overhead, slow provisioning, or spiralling infrastructure costs: You will guide clients in adopting a modern infrastructure operating model. This includes implementing Infrastructure as Code (e.g., Terraform or Ansible) for automated provisioning and designing strategies to optimise resource utilisation and ensure budget-friendly deployments.
 * Clients lack a robust strategy to protect against data loss or infrastructure outages: You will architect highly available environments and develop Disaster Recovery (DR) strategies, including failover mechanisms, data redundancy, and reliable backup solutions.
 * Clients are looking to deploy AI but are constrained by their existing server infrastructure and data centre capacities: You will architect specialized compute solutions on platforms like Cisco UCS or Dell PowerEdge, integrating required GPU and CPU architectures, and advising on the physical data centre implications-such as power distribution, advanced cooling, and rack density-to ensure these demanding platforms run optimally and securely on-premises.
