As an AWS Architect, you'll be working in a growing team that is responsible for designing and deploying cloud based architectures, ranging in size from small bespoke solutions to large enterprise scale deployments. You'll have numerous opportunities to grow and develop your career. The team is customer focused so you'll have the opportunity to work directly with end customers and design solutions to meet their requirements. While the role is predominantly focused on the design and implementation cloud solutions, there will also be an opportunity to deploy in-depth diagnostic skills in the resolution of complex third line support issues.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Working directly with our customers to understand their requirements and evaluating the applicability of cloud to the problem space
  • Producing high and low level designs to deliver secure, reliable, efficient and cost optimised cloud based systems

  • Working with support teams to enable management and monitoring of cloud based systems
  • Ensuring compliance of cloud systems with security policies and regulatory requirements
  • Acting as the SME on public cloud technologies, supporting organisational cloud adoption strategies and embedding best practice approaches

Skills / Experience:

  • A degree (or equivalent) in a relevant field of study
  • Understanding of, and adherence to the AWS Well Architected Framework
  • Understanding of the AWS Global Infrastructure and Availability Zones
  • Using AWS VPC, Subnets, Routing, Gateways, Peering and VPNs to design robust cloud network architectures
  • Using Network ACLs and Security Groups to limit network access to cloud resources
  • Using IAM roles and policies to limit access to resources, or grant temporary access to another AWS service or account
  • Using CloudWatch to design bespoke monitoring and alerting solutions for cloud deployments
  • Designing architectures based on container based platforms (e.g. ECS, EKS, Fargate, OpenShift)
  • Writing infrastructure-as-code (particularly CloudFormation) to define cloud systems
  • Communicating complex cloud architectures to a range of technical and non-technical audiences
  • A desire to continually update, enhance and validate cloud skills, (ideally with a view to pursue cloud certification e.g. AWS Solution Architect)

Company Benefits:

  • Pension - you'll be automatically enrolled into the Retirement Savings Scheme
  • Bonus - depending on your job, you could be eligible for a bonus which is paid out yearly
  • Holidays - 25 days per year with the option to purchase five more
  • Volunteering - three days of paid leave each year to volunteer
  • Shares - tax advantaged employee share plans
  • Corporate discount portal offers on products and services from our partners
