You'll be working on a technically complex environment where you'll be responsible for shaping cloud and infrastructure solutions, translating requirements into robust architectures and then staying close enough to the technology to support implementation, integration and troubleshooting. We're particularly interested in genuine Cloud Solutions Architects who have the breadth to operate across multi-cloud environments, but who also have enough technical depth to get into the detail when required., This is where the role differs from a conventional network engineering position. We're looking for someone who has spent 8+ years operating at Cloud Solutions Architect / Cloud Architect level, with a track record of owning complex technical solutions rather than simply administering individual technologies. You'll ideally have: * 8+ years' experience in Cloud Solutions Architecture / Cloud Architecture / Infrastructure Architecture. * Strong hands-on architecture experience across AWS, Azure and GCP. * Proven experience designing multi-cloud and hybrid cloud solutions. * Strong HPC / High Performance Computing experience. * Excellent understanding of enterprise infrastructure and data centre environments. * Strong networking knowledge, particularly BGP, routing, segmentation and hybrid connectivity. * Experience with Cisco SD-WAN / Viptela is highly desirable. * Strong Terraform and/or Ansible experience. * The ability to move comfortably between high-level architecture and low-level technical detail. * Strong stakeholder engagement and technical leadership skills. * Experience taking solutions from requirements and architecture through to implementation and operational handover. If you're a Senior Cloud Solutions Architect whose background is primarily AWS/Azure/GCP architecture, I'd like to hear from you. ## Description You'll be responsible for: * Designing and owning complex cloud solutions and infrastructure architectures across AWS, Azure and GCP. * Developing HLDs, LLDs, technical designs, architecture roadmaps and implementation strategies. * Designing and optimising hybrid cloud connectivity between on-premises data centres and multiple public cloud platforms. * Working with HPC / High Performance Computing environments, supporting the design and deployment of high-performance infrastructure and networking solutions. * Assessing existing environments, identifying technical gaps and driving redesign, optimisation and modernisation. * Designing secure, scalable and resilient cloud platforms aligned to enterprise requirements. * Working across cloud networking, routing, segmentation, security and connectivity where required. * Providing architectural direction across AWS, Azure and GCP. * Working closely with engineering teams through implementation, integration, testing, troubleshooting and handover. * Leading technical discussions with senior stakeholders and translating complex technical requirements into practical solutions. * Producing clear technical documentation and contributing to architecture standards and best practice. * Supporting automation and Infrastructure as Code using technologies such as Terraform and Ansible. Technical Environment We're particularly interested in candidates with strong experience across: Cloud Architecture * AWS * Microsoft Azure * Google Cloud Platform (GCP) * Multi-cloud architecture * Hybrid cloud * Cloud migration / transformation * Enterprise cloud infrastructure * Cloud security and connectivity HPC / Infrastructure * High Performance Computing environments * Large-scale compute infrastructure * Data centre / private cloud environments * HPC networking and connectivity Networking * Enterprise networking architecture * BGP and advanced routing * Network segmentation * Switching * Data centre networking * Hybrid cloud connectivity * Cisco technologies * Cisco SD-WAN / Viptela * VPN / Direct Connect / ExpressRoute / Cloud Interconnect Automation / Infrastructure as Code * Terraform * Ansible * Infrastructure as Code * Python or similar scripting * CI/CD Nice to have: * OpenStack * Kubernetes * Container platforms * Cloud security architecture * Zero Trust ## Related Videos - [Building Well-Architected applications](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/691-building-well-architected-applications) - [Dev & Test in the Cloud?
