Comfortable coding and reviewing in at least one of Python, C#, TypeScript/Node.js or Java, and building/consuming REST/gRPC APIs; * Practical experience of CI/CD and DevOps/GitOps, including automated testing and security scanning in the pipeline; * A strong, demonstrable security posture, IAM/least privilege, key and secrets management, encryption (incl. CMK/BYOK), private networking, and awareness of data residency (e.g. Azure data zones) and UK/EU GDPR obligations; * Experience integrating managed AI/model services and building data pipelines to support them; * Ability to lead a workstream and mentor engineers, set technical standards, and communicate complex designs clearly to both technical and non-technical (including senior client) audiences. ## Description Using cutting edge technology, you'll work alongside colleagues, often in multi-disciplinary teams, helping to solve our clients' most significant challenges. As a senior member of the team you will lead the technical design and hands-on delivery of cloud solutions, frequently working directly within the client's own cloud environment, controls and change processes. You will be expected to go deep as well as broad: making and defending architecture decisions, writing and reviewing infrastructure-as-code and application code, and owning solutions through to production operation. Specific responsibilities will include: Owning end-to-end solution and platform architecture across compute, storage, data, networking and identity: producing target-state designs, reference architectures, well-architected reviews and trade-off analysis, and documenting decisions as ADRs; Designing and implementing secure landing zones and multi-account / multi-subscription topologies, including hub-and-spoke networking, private connectivity (private endpoints / PrivateLink / Private Service Connect), DNS, and network segmentation; Building and operating workloads as Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Bicep/ARM or CloudFormation) with modular, reusable components, policy-as-code guardrails and automated drift detection; Designing and deploying containerised and serverless workloads: Kubernetes (AKS/EKS/GKE), serverless functions and managed app platforms, including autoscaling, ingress, service mesh and zero-downtime deployment strategies (blue/green, canary); Building CI/CD pipelines and GitOps workflows (GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, Argo CD/Flux) with automated testing, security scanning (SAST/DAST, IaC and container scanning) and supply-chain controls; Architecting data and AI platforms (data lakes/lakehouses, warehouses, streaming and event-driven patterns) and integrating managed AI/model services (Azure OpenAI / AI Foundry, AWS Bedrock, GCP Vertex AI), including retrieval-augmented generation, vector search and secure prompt/data handling; Engineering for reliability and observability: defining SLOs/SLIs, instrumenting metrics, logs and traces (OpenTelemetry, Azure Monitor, CloudWatch, Prometheus/Grafana), and leading incident response, DR and resilience testing; Embedding security and compliance by design: IAM least privilege, secrets and key management (Key Vault/KMS/Secret Manager), encryption in transit and at rest (including CMK/BYOK), private endpoints, network policy, data residency and data-zone requirements, and UK/EU GDPR and financial-services regulatory obligations; Owning FinOps and cost optimisation: right-sizing, commitment-based discounts, tagging/showback and architectural changes that materially reduce run cost; Providing hands-on technical leadership and SME input: setting engineering standards, reviewing code and designs, mentoring engineers, and managing technical risk and quality across the workstream; and Evaluating and prototyping new cloud and AI services, and contributing to the team's reusable assets, accelerators and reference implementations., * Azure: Blob/ADLS Gen2, Functions, App Service, SQL Database, Cosmos DB, AKS, API Management, Entra ID, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, AI Foundry, Key Vault, Private Link, Azure Monitor/Log Analytics, Azure Policy, Bicep; * AWS: S3, Lambda, VPC, RDS/Aurora, DynamoDB, ECS/Fargate, EKS, API Gateway, IAM, Bedrock, KMS, PrivateLink, CloudWatch, CloudFormation/CDK; * GCP: Cloud Storage, Cloud Run, BigQuery, GKE, Vertex AI, Cloud IAM, VPC Service Controls, Cloud Monitoring/Logging; * Data & AI: data lake/lakehouse and warehouse patterns (e.g. Databricks, Snowflake, Synapse/Fabric, BigQuery), streaming/event-driven architectures (Kafka/Event Hubs/Pub/Sub), and LLM/RAG patterns with vector databases; * Observability & reliability: OpenTelemetry, Prometheus/Grafana, ELK, distributed tracing, SRE practices, chaos/DR testing; * Security & governance: Zero Trust, CIS benchmarks, policy-as-code (OPA/Sentinel/Azure Policy), SIEM integration, and cloud security posture management (CSPM); * Relevant certifications, e.g. Azure Solutions Architect Expert / DevOps Engineer Expert, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Google Professional Cloud Architect, or CKA/CKAD; * Experience of working on projects for external clients; and * Experience of working in or on projects in regulated industries, particularly financial services.
