Are you a cloud-native thinker ready to architect at scale? We're looking for an experienced AWS Infrastructure / Enterprise Architect to help shape the future of cloud delivery for some of the UK's most impactful organisations.

This is an opportunity to design and deliver modern, scalable, and secure cloud solutions as part of a collaborative and agile delivery model. You'll join a high-performing, cross-functional team (Cloud Pod) where you'll work on meaningful projects that make a real difference-both to clients and end-users.

The Role:

As an AWS Enterprise Architect, you'll take a leading role in designing robust, cloud-first architectures that enable enterprise-scale digital transformation. You'll work closely with engineering teams, delivery leads, and client stakeholders to:

• Act as a trusted technical authority on AWS cloud architecture.
• Design and evolve cloud-native and hybrid infrastructure solutions.
• Ensure architectural alignment across delivery teams and platform engineers.
• Stay hands-on with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and CI/CD tooling.
• Mentor junior engineers and promote best practices across the tech community.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with both internal teams and client stakeholders.

Your Skills & Experience:

We're looking for someone who's not just technically excellent, but who thrives in a team-first, solution-focused culture. You should have:

• Proven experience in Enterprise Architecture, especially on AWS platforms.
• Strong expertise in automation and IaC using tools like Terraform and Ansible.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes, GitHub, and cloud-native architectures.
• An understanding of ITIL frameworks and end-to-end delivery lifecycle.
• Background in infrastructure and networking is a plus.
• Experience working in Agile and cross-functional teams.
