## Description

I'm working with a successful multinational tech consultancy that has secured a number of long-term client programmes and is now looking to bring in several DV Cleared Data Architects to meet that demand.

If you're DV cleared and have built your career on AWS, this is one where that depth gets used properly. You'll be working across a range of secure, high-impact programmes with real ownership over how the data platforms are designed and delivered, not just implementing someone else's blueprint.

What you'll be doing

It's a genuine end-to-end architecture role. You won't just be focused on one part of the data lifecycle, you'll own the full picture, from ingestion through to consumption, across different client environments and industries.

 * Designing full data platforms end-to-end, making sure everything flows properly from ingestion through to consumption

 * Working with modern approaches like lakehouse and medallion architectures (Bronze, Silver, Gold)

 * Defining both batch and streaming pipelines depending on the use case

 * Making real decisions around storage, orchestration, governance and security, not just executing a predefined design

 * Working closely with clients and stakeholders to translate business problems into practical technical solutions

 * Operating in secure, regulated environments where attention to detail and sound judgement matter

Tech environment

It's an AWS-focused setup, so if you've built your career on AWS this is one where that depth actually gets used.

 * AWS across the board, including S3, Glue, Redshift, Lake Formation and Kinesis

 * Databricks and Snowflake running on top of AWS

 * Spark and distributed processing frameworks for large-scale data

 * Streaming technologies such as Kinesis or Kafka

You're expected to pick the right tools for the problem within the AWS ecosystem, not just default to whatever you know best.
