This is a fantastic Technical Architect opportunity to work with a UK-based technology services organisation, shaping and delivering secure, resilient, and scalable technology architectures across cloud, infrastructure, and applications.

The Technical Architect is a remote working role, based in the UK, with a requirement to travel to a customer site in Bristol at least once per month. Additional travel to customer sites and team meetings may be expected, as necessary.

Candidates with current UK SC Clearance are strongly preferred, although candidates who are eligible and willing to undergo the SC Clearance process may also be considered.

As a Technical Architect, you will provide senior architectural leadership across customer and transformation initiatives, designing secure, resilient, and scalable technology solutions. You will assess existing technology estates and define practical approaches to cloud adoption, infrastructure and application modernisation, resilience, and technical debt reduction, with a strong focus on Microsoft Azure. You will work across infrastructure and application domains, producing architecture designs and guiding delivery teams to ensure solutions meet security, scalability, operational, and business requirements. Security and governance will be an important part of the role, with experience working within frameworks such as Secure by Design, CAF, CE+, and GovAssure. This is not a dedicated Security Architect or accreditation role; rather, you will need to understand how security and governance requirements influence technology architecture and delivery. You will work closely with customers, programme leadership, engineers, and delivery teams, combining strong technical architecture capability with excellent stakeholder engagement.

• Proven experience designing secure, scalable, and resilient cloud and infrastructure architectures, with strong Microsoft Azure capability.
• Experience assessing existing technology estates and delivering cloud migration, infrastructure modernisation, application modernisation, and technical debt reduction strategies.
• Strong understanding of IT resilience, high availability, disaster recovery, business continuity, and operational readiness.
• Demonstrated experience delivering projects aligned to security and governance frameworks such as Secure by Design, Cyber Essentials Plus (CE+), the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), and GovAssure.
• Ability to define architecture deliverables (HLD/LLD), guide engineering teams, and engage effectively with technical, business, and programme stakeholders.
• Experience working across infrastructure and application architecture, with additional AWS and/or GCP experience advantageous but not essential.

This is an excellent Technical Architect opportunity to work across Azure, infrastructure, application, resilience, and security-focused architecture, helping customers modernise and future-proof their critical technology environments.
