The role is to define coherent, secure, resilient and operable technical architectures and support their delivery from design through implementation and transition to operations. The architect must be able to reason beyond individual infrastructure components and understand the broader architecture context: applications, data flows, trust zones, integration mechanisms, cloud connectivity, security and operational constraints. Positioning within the Architecture Organization The Technical Infrastructure & Network Architect works closely with Enterprise, Solution, Application, Data, Cloud and Security Architects, as well as Infrastructure, Network, DevOps and project teams. The role is accountable for the technical infrastructure architecture required to host, connect, secure, operate and recover solutions, including network, compute, storage, backup, cloud/hybrid infrastructure, container foundations and observability. End-to-end architecture is developed jointly. The architect must actively contribute to cross-domain architecture decisions and challenge proposed solutions when required. Network and infrastructure architecture are considered part of the overall solution architecture, not isolated technical domains., * Translate business, application and solution requirements into technical architecture requirements covering hosting, connectivity, performance, availability, security, resilience, backup/recovery, monitoring and supportability. * Define target and reference architectures, reusable standards and technical patterns across sites. * Produce HLDs and architecture documentation, and review LLDs and detailed technical designs. * Analyse impacts, dependencies, risks, architecture gaps, single points of failure and operational constraints. * Challenge solutions proposed by projects, suppliers and engineering teams and assess alternative options. * Document key architecture decisions through Architecture Decision Records (ADRs). * Assess deviations from architecture and technical standards and support the relevant governance and approval processes. * Define Build-to-Run requirements and support production readiness, operational handover and knowledge transfer., Sufficient understanding of modern integration patterns to assess their infrastructure, network and security implications, including: * REST APIs and OpenAPI * OAuth2, OIDC and JWT * mTLS * API Gateway and reverse proxy * API security and rate limiting * Webhooks * Event-driven architecture * Kafka and messaging * AMQP, SFTP and HTTPS The architect is not expected to replace an Application or Integration Architect but must understand how systems communicate and challenge connectivity requests in their broader architecture context. For example, the expected approach is not simply: "Which network flow must be opened?" but: "Why does this interaction exist, which systems and data are involved, between which trust zones, through which integration mechanism, and what is the target architecture?"
